Normed "upper interval" algebras without nontrivial closed subalgebras

C. J. Read (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

It is a long standing open problem whether there is any infinite-dimensional commutative Banach algebra without nontrivial closed ideals. This is in some sense the Banach algebraists' counterpart to the invariant subspace problem for Banach spaces. We do not here solve this famous problem, but solve a related problem, that of finding (necessarily commutative) infinite-dimensional normed algebras which do not even have nontrivial closed subalgebras. Our examples are incomplete normed...

On locally pseudoconvexes square algebras.

Jorma Arhippainen (1995)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let A be an algebra over the field of complex numbers with a (Hausdorff) topology given by a family Q = {q|λ ∈ Λ} of square preserving r-homogeneous seminorms (r ∈ (0, 1]). We shall show that (A, T(Q)) is a locally m-convex algebra. Furthermore we shall show that A is commutative.

Nonassociative real H*-algebras.

Miguel Cabrera, José Martínez Aroza, Angel Rodríguez Palacios (1988)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

We prove that, if A denotes a topologically simple real (non-associative) H*-algebra, then either A is a topologically simple complex H*-algebra regarded as real H*-algebra or there is a topologically simple complex H*-algebra B with *-involution τ such that A = {b ∈ B : τ(b) = b*}. Using this, we obtain our main result, namely: (algebraically) isomorphic topologically simple real H*-algebras are actually *-isometrically isomorphic.

Korovkin theory in normed algebras

Ferdinand Beckhoff (1991)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

If A is a normed power-associative complex algebra such that the selfadjoint part is normally ordered with respect to some order, then the Korovkin closure (see the introduction for definitions) of T ∪ {t* ∘ t| t ∈ T} contains J*(T) for any subset T of A. This can be applied to C*-algebras, minimal norm ideals on a Hilbert space, and to H*-algebras. For bounded H*-algebras and dual C*-algebras there is even equality. This answers a question posed in [1].

A non-Banach in-convex algebra all of whose closed commutative subalgebras are Banach algebras.

W. Żelazko (1996)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We construct two examples of complete multiplicatively convex algebras with the property that all their maximal commutative subalgebras and consequently all commutative closed subalgebras are Banach algebras. One of them is non-metrizable and the other is metrizable and non-Banach. This solves Problems 12-16 and 22-24 of [7].
