New associative and nonassociative Gelfand-Naimark theorems.
In what follows we shall describe, in terms of some commutation properties, a method which gives nilpotent elements. Using this method we shall describe the irreducibility for Lie algebras which have Levi-Malçev decomposition property.
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 a general nonassociative...
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.
Recently M. Mathieu [9] has proved that any associative ultraprime normed complex algebra is centrally closed. The aim of this note is to announce the general nonassociative extension of Mathieu's result obtained by the authors [2].
