Abstract
Let A be the algebra of functions on the circle group T={z: |z|=1} having absolutely convergent Fourier series. For a subset E of A, the algebra of restrictions to E of functions in A is denoted by A(E). It is shown that for sets that are "thick" in one of several senses, algebra homomorphisms of the A(E) having norm 1 must arise from point mappings having a certain amount of rigidity.
