Abstract
- Extreme points of positive functionals and spectral states on real commutative Banach algebras are investigated and characterized as multiplicative functionals extending the well-known results from complex to real Banach algebras. As an application a new and short proof of the existence of the Shilov boundary of a real commutative Banach algebra with nonempty maximal ideal space is given.
