Theorem 30.5.3.label Let $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ be the convolution algebra on $\integer$, then the mapping

\[F: \mathbf{S}^{1} = \partial B_{\complex}(0, 1) \to \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer)) \quad (F(z))(f) = \sum_{n \in \integer}f(n)z^{n}\]

is a homeomorphism. Under the identification $\partial B_{\complex}(0, 1) = \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$, the Gelfand transform has the explicit form

\[\Gamma(f)(z) = \sum_{n \in \integer}f(n)z^{n}\]

Proof, [Theorem 6.3, Zhu93]. Let $z \in \mathbf{S}^{1}$ and $f, g \in \ell^{1}(\integer)$, then by Fubini’s Theorem,

\begin{align*}F(z)(f * g)&= \sum_{n \in \integer}z^{n} \sum_{k \in \integer}f(k)g(n-k) \\&= \sum_{k \in \natp}f(k)z^{k} \sum_{n \in \integer}z^{n-k}g(n-k) \\&= F(z)(f) \cdot F(z)(g)\end{align*}

so $F(z)$ is a multiplicative functional for all $z \in \mathbf{S}^{1}$.

For each $n \in \integer$, let $\delta_{n} = \one_{\bracs{k = n}}$, then for any $m, n \in \integer$, $\delta_{m} * \delta_{n} = \delta_{m + n}$. Let $\phi \in \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$ and $z = \phi(\delta_{1})$, then $\phi(\delta_{n}) = z^{n}$ for all $n \in \integer$. Since the span of $\bracsn{\delta_n|n \in \integer}$ is dense in $\ell^{1}(\integer)$, $\phi = F(z)$ by the Dominated Convergence Theorem.

Finally, by the Dominated Convergence Theorem, $F: \textbf{S}^{1} \to \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$ is continuous. Since $\textbf{S}^{1}$ is compact, $\Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$ is Hausdorff, and $F$ is a bijection, $F$ is a homeomorphism by Proposition 5.16.4.$\square$
