Aargh. "in Banach algebra". When you say that it really
_is_ like fingernails scraping on a blackboard.

I don't understand your problem with this expression.
Is English your native language?
It seems to me that "in Banach algebra"

Would you object to someone saying "a problem in Lie algebra"?
Or "a problem in algebraic topology"?
