Semi-simplicity of a proper weak -algebra.
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.
We show that every continuous derivation of a countably dominated Fréchet GB*-algebra A is spatial whenever A is additionally an AO*-algebra.
In this brief account we present the way of obtaining unbounded *-representations in terms of the so-called "unbounded" C*-seminorms. Among such *-representations we pick up a special class with "good behaviour" and characterize them through some properties of the Pták function.

Let A be a Banach *-algebra which is a subalgebra of a Banach algebra B. In this paper, assuming that A is symmetric, various conditions are given which imply that A is inverse closed in B.
A simple application of Pták theory for hermitian Banach algebras, combined with a result on normed Q-algebras, gives a non-technical new proof of the Shirali-Ford theorem. A version of this theorem in the setting of non-normed topological algebras is also provided.
