Let A be a complex Banach algebra. By an ideal in A we mean a two-sided idealunless otherwise specified. As in (7, p. 59) by the strong radical of A we mean theintersection of the modular maximal ideals of A (if there are no such ideals we set =A). Our aim is to discuss the nature of and the relation of to A for a specialclass of Banach algebras. Henceforth A will denote a semi-simple modular annihilatorBanach algebra (one for which the left (right) annihilator of each modular maximalright (left) ideal is not (0)). For the theory of such algebras see (2) and (9).
