Ogasawara and Yoshinaga [9] have shown that aB*-algebra is weakly completely continuous (w.c.c.) if and only if it is*-isomorphic to theB*(∞)-sum of algebrasLC(HX), where eachLC(HX)is the algebra of all compact linear operators on the Hilbert spaceHx.As Kaplansky [5] has shown that aB*-algebra isB*-isomorphic to theB*(∞)-sum of algebrasLC(HX)if and only if it is dual, it follows that a5*-algebraAis w.c.c. if and only if it is dual. We have observed that, if only certain key elements of aB*-algebraAare w.c.c, thenAis already dual. This observation constitutes our main theorem which goes as follows.A B*-algebraAis dual if and only if for every maximal modular left idealMthere exists aright identity modulo M that isw.c.c.

We consider the problem of a double fixed point of pairs of continuous mappings defined on a convex closed bounded subset of a Banach space. It is shown that if one of the mappings is completely continuous and the other is continuous, then the property of the existence of fixed points is stable under contracting perturbations of the mappings. We obtain estimates for the distance from a given pair of points to double fixed points of perturbed mappings. We consider the problem of a fixed point of a completely continuous mapping on a convex closed bounded subset of a Banach space. It is shown that the property of the existence of a fixed point of a completely continuous map is stable under contracting perturbations. Estimates of the distance from a given point to a fixed point are obtained. As an application of the obtained results, the solvability of a difference equation of a special type is proved.

The present note is concerned with the existence and properties of certain types of extensions of Banach algebras which allow a faithful representation as the normed ring C(E) of all bounded continuous real functions on some topological space E. These Banach algebras can be characterized intrinsically in various ways (1); they will be called function rings here. A function ring E will be called a normal extension of a function ring G if E is directly indecomposable, contains C as a Banach subalgebra and possesses a group G of automorphisms for which C is the ring of invariants, that is, the set of all elements fixed under G. G will then be called a group of automorphisms of E over C. If E is a normal extension of C with precisely one group of automorphisms over C, which is then the invariance group of C in E, then E will be called a Galois extension of C. Such an extension will be called finite if its group is finite.
