A chain of Kurosh may have an arbitrary finite length
We first propose a generalization of the notion of Mathieu subspaces of associative algebras , which was introduced recently in [Zhao W., Generalizations of the image conjecture and the Mathieu conjecture, J. Pure Appl. Algebra, 2010, 214(7), 1200–1216] and [Zhao W., Mathieu subspaces of associative algebras], to -modules . The newly introduced notion in a certain sense also generalizes the notion of submodules. Related with this new notion, we also introduce the sets σ(N) and τ(N) of stable...
The weak radical, W-Rad(A) of a non-associative algebra A, has been introduced by A. Rodríguez Palacios in [3] in order to generalize the Johnson's uniqueness of norm theorem to general complete normed non-associative algebras (see also [2] for another application of this notion). In [4], he showed that if A is a semiprime non-associative algebra with DCC on ideals, then W-Rad(A) = 0. In the first part of this paper we give an example of a non-semiprime associative algebra A with DCC on ideals and...
A properly infinite C*-algebra has no non-zero traces. We construct properly infinite Banach *-algebras with non-zero, bounded traces, and show that there are even such algebras which are fairly "close" to the class of C*-algebras, in the sense that they can be hermitian or *-semisimple.
