On Gelfand graded commutative rings

Abstract: This paper deals with the graded commutative rings in which every homogeneous prime ideal is contained in a unique homogeneous maximal ideal called Gelfand graded ring. The purpose is to establish some topological and algebraic characterizations of these rings, one of which is the algebraic analogue of the Urysohn's lemma. Finally we look at a special class of those graded rings called pm$^+$ graded rings which can be viewed as graded ring with a Gelfand strong property.
