A framework to study commutation problems
Entire functions operate in complete locally A-convex algebras but not continuously. Actually squaring is not always continuous. The counterexample we give is multiplier algebra.
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.
Let be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and be a standard operator algebra on which is closed under the adjoint operation. It is shown that every nonlinear -Lie higher derivation of is automatically an additive higher derivation on . Moreover, is an inner -higher derivation.
