CONTINUOUS HOMOMORPHISMS OF ARENS-MICHAEL ALGEBRAS ALEX CHIGOGIDZE Received 3 March 2001 and in revised form 3 July 2001 It is shown that every continuous homomorphism of Arens-Michael algebras can be obtained as the limit of a morphism of certain projective systems consisting of Fréchet algebras. Based on this, we prove that a complemented subalgebra of an uncountable product of Fréchet algebras is topologically isomorphic to the product of Fréchet algebras. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46H05, 46M10. 1. Introduction. Arens-Michael algebras are limits of projective systems of Banach algebras (or, alternatively, closed subalgebras of (uncountable) prod- ucts of Banach algebras). Quite often, when dealing with a particular Arens- Michael algebra, at least one projective system arises naturally (e.g., as a result of certain construction) and, in most cases, it does contain the needed infor- mation about its limit. The situation is somewhat different if an Arens-Michael algebra is given arbitrarily and there is no particular projective system associ- ated with it in a canonical way. Below (Definition 3.2), we introduce the concept of a projective Fréchet sys- tem and show (Theorem 3.4) that every continuous homomorphism of Arens- Michael algebras can be obtained as the limit homomorphism of certain mor- phism of cofinal subsystems of the corresponding Fréchet systems. This re- sult applied to the identity homomorphism obviously implies that any Arens- Michael algebra has essentially unique Fréchet system associated with it. Con- sequently, any information about an Arens-Michael algebra is contained in the associated Fréchet system. The remaining problem of restoring this informa- tion is, of
