Abstract
We show that in a noetherian commutative unital topological algebra, the prime ideals associated with a closed ideal as well as its isolated primary components are closed. We obtain a version of the closed graph theorem. An example of a noetherian (even principal) commutative unital semi-simple and incomplete normed algebra whose each ideal is closed is also given.
