Invariant structure preserving functions and an Oka-Weil Kaplansky density type theorem. (English) Zbl 1541.46044

Summary: We develop the theory of invariant structure preserving and free functions on a general structured topological space. We show that an invariant structure preserving function is pointwise approximable by the appropriate analog of polynomials in the strong topology and therefore a free function. Moreover, if a domain of operators on a Hilbert space is polynomially convex, the set of free functions satisfies a Oka-Weil Kaplansky density type theorem – contractive functions can be approximated by contractive polynomials.
