  "abstract": "We prove that every character on a commutative complex complete Hausdorff locally multiplicatively convex algebra, not necessarily unital, is bounded on bounded sets. Consequently, every character on a commutative complex Fréchet--Arens--Michael algebra is continuous, giving an affirmative answer to Michael's problem. In the Fréchet case, each character is bounded by one seminorm from any increasing defining sequence of submultiplicative seminorms.",
