Abstract
Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and \(\varOmega \) be a locally compact \(\sigma \)-compact space. In this paper we study (real-linear) continuous zero product preserving functionals \(\varphi : A \longrightarrow {\mathbb {C}}\) on certain subalgebras A of the Fréchet algebra \(C(X,C(\varOmega ))\). The case that \(\varphi \) is continuous with respect to a specified complete metric on A will also be discussed. In particular, for a compact Hausdorff space K we characterize \(\Vert \cdot \Vert \)-continuous linear zero product preserving functionals on the Banach algebra \(C^1([0,1],C(K))\) equipped with the norm \(\Vert f\Vert =\Vert f\Vert _{[0,1]}+\Vert f'\Vert _{[0,1]}\), where \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{[0,1]}\) denotes the supremum norm. An application of the results is given for continuous ring homomorphisms on such subalgebras.
