Connected-component permanence of subalgebra invertibility
ID: connected-component-permanence-of-subalgebra-invertibility
For a closed unital subalgebra with common identity, its group of invertible elements of a Banach algebra is relatively open in by the Neumann series. It is relatively closed because inversion in is continuous and is closed. Consequently each connected component of either consists entirely of elements invertible in , or entirely of elements whose inverses do not belong to .
