Does the identity cos2(x)+sin2(x)=1 hold in a unital Banach algebra where 1 is the unit?
Let's assume that we have an unital Banach algebra T and we define sine and cosine using the normal power series definition as for R. Let xT and let 1 be the unit of T. Does the Pythagorean trigonometric identity cos2(x)+sin2(x)=1 still hold?

The Riesz functional calculus map ff(x) is an algebra homomorphism. So for any element x in a unital Banach algebra and f,g analytic functions on some open subset containing σ(x) we have (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x) and (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x). So if f2+g2=1, we will have f2(x)+g2(x)=1(x). Furthermore 1(x) is equal to the identity of the Banach algebra. So indeed, the Pythagorean trigonometric identity will still hold.
