Fully representable and *-semisimple topological partial *-algebras

J.-P. Antoine, G. Bellomonte, C. Trapani (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We continue our study of topological partial *-algebras, focusing our attention on *-semisimple partial *-algebras, that is, those that possess a multiplication core and sufficiently many *-representations. We discuss the respective roles of invariant positive sesquilinear (ips) forms and representable continuous linear functionals, and focus on the case where the two notions are completely interchangeable (fully representable partial *-algebras) with the aim of characterizing a *-semisimple partial...

Maximal abelian subalgebras and projections in two Banach algebras associated with a topological dynamical system

Marcel de Jeu, Jun Tomiyama (2012)

Studia Mathematica

If Σ = (X,σ) is a topological dynamical system, where X is a compact Hausdorff space and σ is a homeomorphism of X, then a crossed product Banach *-algebra ℓ¹(Σ) is naturally associated with these data. If X consists of one point, then ℓ¹(Σ) is the group algebra of the integers. The commutant C(X)₁' of C(X) in ℓ¹(Σ) is known to be a maximal abelian subalgebra which has non-zero intersection with each non-zero closed ideal, and the same holds for the commutant C(X)'⁎ of C(X) in C*(Σ), the enveloping...

Non-normal elements in Banach *-algebras

B. Yood (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a Banach *-algebra with an identity, continuous involution, center Z and set of self-adjoint elements Σ. Let h ∈ Σ. The set of v ∈ Σ such that (h + iv)ⁿ is normal for no positive integer n is dense in Σ if and only if h ∉ Z. The case where A has no identity is also treated.

Normal cones and C * - m -convex structure

El Kinani, A., Mohamed Amine Nejjari, Mohamed Oudadess (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The notion of normal cones is used to characterize C * - m -convex algebras among unital, symmetric and complete m -convex algebras.
