Let C(T) be the Banach algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions on the compact set T of all complex numbers with modulus one. As usual we may suppose that A is embedded in C(T), where A is the disc algebra, i.e., the algebra of all complex-valued functions f(λ) continuous for |λ| ≦ 1. and analytic for |λ| < 1. We set Mλ = {fA: f(λ) = 0} and Mλ = {fA: f(λ) ≧ 0}.
