Let A be a complex, commutative Banach algebra and let M-A be the structure space of A. Assume that there exists a continuous homomorphism h : L-1(G) -> A with dense range, where L-1(G) is the group algebra of a locally compact abelian group G. The main results of this paper can be summarized as follows:
