Proposition 28.2.3.label Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra, then:

  1. (1)

    $G(A)$ is open.

  2. (2)

    For any $x \in G(A)$ and $y \in B_{A}(0, \normn{x^{-1}}_{A}^{-1})$,

    \[(x - y)^{-1}= x^{-1}\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} (yx^{-1})^{n}\]

  3. (3)

    The map $G(A) \to G(A)$ defined by $x \mapsto x^{-1}$ is $C^{\infty}$.

Proof. (2): For any $x \in G(A)$ and $y \in B(0, \normn{x^{-1}}_{A}^{-1})$, $(x - y) = (1 - yx^{-1})x$. By Lemma 28.2.2,

\[(1 - yx^{-1})^{-1}= \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} (yx^{-1})^{n}\]

so

\[(x - y)^{-1}= x^{-1}\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} (yx^{-1})^{n}\]

(3): Since the inversion map is locally a power series, it is $C^{\infty}$ by Theorem 26.6.3.$\square$
