On the uniqueness of uniform norms and C*-norms

P. A. Dabhi, H. V. Dedania (2009)

Studia Mathematica

We prove that a semisimple, commutative Banach algebra has either exactly one uniform norm or infinitely many uniform norms; this answers a question asked by S. J. Bhatt and H. V. Dedania [Studia Math. 160 (2004)]. A similar result is proved for C*-norms on *-semisimple, commutative Banach *-algebras. These properties are preserved if the identity is adjoined. We also show that a commutative Beurling *-algebra L¹(G,ω) has exactly one uniform norm if and only if it has exactly one C*-norm; this is...

Quasi *-algebras of measurable operators

Fabio Bagarello, Camillo Trapani, Salvatore Triolo (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Non-commutative L p -spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of Banach quasi *-algebras called CQ*-algebras. For p ≥ 2 they are also proved to possess a sufficient family of bounded positive sesquilinear forms with certain invariance properties. CQ*-algebras of measurable operators over a finite von Neumann algebra are also constructed and it is proven that any abstract CQ*-algebra (,₀) with a sufficient family of bounded positive tracial sesquilinear forms can be represented as a CQ*-algebra...

*-Representations, seminorms and structure properties of normed quasi *-algebras

Camillo Trapani (2008)

Studia Mathematica

The class of *-representations of a normed quasi *-algebra (𝔛,𝓐₀) is investigated, mainly for its relationship with the structure of (𝔛,𝓐₀). The starting point of this analysis is the construction of GNS-like *-representations of a quasi *-algebra (𝔛,𝓐₀) defined by invariant positive sesquilinear forms. The family of bounded invariant positive sesquilinear forms defines some seminorms (in some cases, C*-seminorms) that provide useful information on the structure of (𝔛,𝓐₀) and on the continuity...

Some seminorms on quasi *-algebras

Camillo Trapani (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Different types of seminorms on a quasi *-algebra (𝔄,𝔄₀) are constructed from a suitable family ℱ of sesquilinear forms on 𝔄. Two particular classes, extended C*-seminorms and CQ*-seminorms, are studied in some detail. A necessary and sufficient condition for the admissibility of a sesquilinear form in terms of extended C*-seminorms on (𝔄,𝔄₀) is given.

Sur un problème de I. Glicksberg : les idéaux fermés de type fini de M ( G )

Bernard Host, François Parreau (1978)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Soit μ M ( G ) , algèbre de convolution des mesures de Radon bornées sur le groupe abélien localement compact G . Pour que μ * M ( G ) soit fermé dans M ( G ) (ou, ce qui revient au même, pour que μ * L 1 ( G ) soit fermé), il faut et il suffit que μ soit la convolution d’une mesure inversible et d’une mesure idempotente.
