Suppose X is a compact Hausdorff space and A is a subalgebra of C(X)9 the algebra of continuous complex valued functions on X. Assume A separates the points of X, contains the constant functions, and is uniformly closed. A is then called a function algebra on X. With the weak star topology, the maximal ideal space M(A) of A is a compact Hausdorff space. We consider X as embedded in M(A) and A as a function algebra on M(A). In [4] Gleason noted that an equivalence relation could be defined on M(A) by setting x ~ y when the functional norm || x — y \Λ* < 2. The equivalence classes for this relation are called the "parts" of M(A). In certain cases parts have been used to impose an analytic structure on M(A) (see for example [7])β Let P be a part of some M(A). Then clearly P is a completely regular space and fixing p e P we have
