C*-algebras
by John Erdos
Publisher: King's College, London 2003
Number of pages: 51
Description:
These notes form an introductory account of C*-algebras. Some results on more general commutative Banach algebras, whose proofs require little extra effort, are included. There are accounts of two applications of the commutative theory: the C*-algebra approach to the spectral theorem for bounded normal operators on Hilbert space and a brief introduction to the ideas of abstract harmonic analysis.

Banach Spaces of Analytic Functionsby enneth Hoffman - Prentice-Hall
A classic of pure mathematics, this advanced text explores the intersection of functional analysis and analytic function theory. Close in spirit to abstract harmonic analysis, it is confined to Banach spaces of analytic functions in the unit disc.
