Nonassociative normed algebras: geometric aspects

Introduction. The aim of this paper is to review some relevant results concerning the geometry of nonassociative normed algebras, without assuming in the first instance that such algebras satisfy any familiar identity, like associativity, commutativity, or Jordan axiom. In the opinion of the author, the most impressive fact in this direction is that most of the celebrated natural geometric conditions that can be required for associative normed algebras, when imposed on...

On the behaviour of Jordan-algebra norms on associative algebras

We prove that for a suitable associative (real or complex) algebra which has many nice algebraic properties, such as being simple and having minimal idempotents, a norm can be given such that the mapping (a,b) ↦ ab + ba is jointly continuous while (a,b) ↦ ab is only separately continuous. We also prove that such a pathology cannot arise for associative simple algebras with a unit. Similar results are obtained for the so-called "norm extension problem", and the relationship between these...

On one-sided division infinite-dimensional normed real algebras.

José Antonio Cuenca Mira (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

In this note we introduce the concept of Cayley homomorphism which is closely related with those of composition algebra and normalized orthogonal multiplication. The key result shows the existence of certain types of Cayley homomorphisms for infinite dimension. As an application we prove the existence of left division infinite-dimensional complete normed real algebras with left unity.
