The theory of noncommutative involutive Banach algebras (briefly Banach *-algebras) owes its origin to Gelfand and Naimark, who proved in 1943 the fundamental representation theorem that a Banach *-algebra with C*-condition(C*)is *-isomorphic and isometric to a norm-closed self-adjoint subalgebra of all bounded operators on a suitable Hilbert space.At the same time they conjectured that the C*-condition can be replaced by the B*-condition.(B*)In other words any B*-algebra is actually a C*-algebra. This was shown by Glimm and Kadison [5] in 1960.

In 1943 Gelfand and Neumark (3) characterized uniformly closed self-adjoint algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert space as Banach algebras with an involution (a conjugate linear anti-isomorphism of period two) satisfying several additional conditions. The main purpose of this paper is to point out that if we consider algebras of bounded operators on complex Banach spaces more general than Hilbert space, then we can represent a larger class of algebras by essentially the same methods.

Let A be a complex unital Banach algebra. An element u∈A is a norm unitary if(For the algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space, the norm unitaries arethe invertible isometries.) Given a norm unitary u∈A, we have Sp(u)⊃Γ, where Sp(u) denotes the spectrum of u and Γ denotes the unit circle in C. If Sp(u)≠Γ we may suppose, by replacing eiθu, that . Then there exists h ∈ A such that

This work is devoted to the study of some properties of linear homogeneous differential equations of the first order in Banach algebras. It is found (for some types of Banach algebras), at what right-hand side of such an equation, from the invertibility of the initial condition it follows the invertibility of its solution at any given time. Associative Banach algebras over the field of real or complex numbers are considered. The right parts of the studied equations have the form [F(t)](x(t)), where {F(t)} is a family of bounded operators on the algebra, continuous with respect to t∈R. The problem is to find all continuous families of bounded operators on algebra, preserving the invertibility of elements from it, for a given Banach algebra. In the proposed article, this problem is solved for only three cases. In the first case, the algebra consists of all square matrices of a given order. For this algebra, it is shown that all continuous families of operators, preserving the invertibility of elements from the algebra at zero must be of the form [F(t)](y)=a(t)⋅y+y⋅b(t), where the families {a(t)} and {b(t)} are also continuous. In the second case, the algebra consists of all continuous functions on the segment. For this case, it is shown that all families of operators, preserving the invertibility of elements from the algebra at any time must be of the form [F(t)](y)=a(t)⋅y, where the family {a(t)} is also continuous. The third case concerns those Banach algebras in which all nonzero elements are invertible. For example, the algebra of complex numbers and the algebra of quaternions have this property. In this case, any continuous families of bounded operators preserves the invertibility of the elements from the algebra at any time. The proposed study is in contact with the research of the foundations of quantum mechanics. The dynamics of quantum observables is described by the Heisenberg equation. The obtained results are an indirect argument in favor of the fact, that the known form of the Heisenberg equation is the only correct one.

Let R be a prime ring, U the Utumi quotient ring of R, C = Z(U) the extended centroid of R, L a non-central Lie ideal of R, and H, G nonzero generalized derivations of R. Suppose that there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that H(un)un + unG(un) ∈ C for all u ∈ L, then either there exists a ∈ U such that H(x) = xa and G(x) = -ax, or R satisfies the standard identity s4 and one of the following holds: (i) char (R) = 2; (ii) n is even and there exist a′ ∈ U, α ∈ C and derivations d, δ of R such that H(x) = a′ x + d(x) and G(x) = (α-a′)x + δ(x); (iii) n is even and there exist a′ ∈ U and a derivation δ of R such that H(x)=xa′ and G(x) = -a′ x + δ(x); (iv) n is odd and there exist a′, b′ ∈ U and α, β ∈ C such that H(x) = a′ x + x(β-b′) and G(x) = b′ x+x(α-a′); (v) n is odd and there exist α, β ∈ C and a derivation d of R such that H(x) = α x+d(x) and G(x) = β x + d(x); (vi) n is odd and there exist a′ ∈ U and α ∈ C such that H(x) = xa′ and G(x) = (α - a′)x. As an application of this purely algebraic result, we obtain some range inclusion results of continuous or spectrally bounded generalized derivations H and G on Banach algebras R satisfying the condition H(xn)xn + xnG(xn) ∈ rad (R) for all x ∈ R, where rad (R) is the Jacobson radical of R.

Abstract Based on Katznelson–Tzafriri Theorem on power bounded operators, we prove in this paper a theorem, which applies to the most of the classical Banach algebras of harmonic analysis associated with locally compact groups, to deal with the problems when a given Banach algebra A is Arens regular and when A is an ideal in its bidual. In the second part of the paper, we study the topological center of the bidual of a class of Banach algebras with a multiplier bounded approximate identity.

The theory of *-representations of Banach *-algebras on Hilbert space is one of the most useful and most successful parts of the theory of Banach algebras. However, there are only scattered results concerning the representations of general Banach algebras on Banach spaces. It may be that a comprehensive representation theory is impossible. Nevertheless, for some special algebras interesting and worthwhile results can be proved. This is true for (Y), the algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space Y, and for (Y), the subalgebra of (Y) consisting of operators with finite dimensional range. The representations of (Y) are studied in a recent paper by H. Porta and E. Berkson (6), and in another recent paper (8), P. Chernoff determines the structure of the representations of (Y) (and also of some more general algebras of operators). In both these papers, (Y), which is the socle of the algebras under consideration, plays an important role in the theory. This suggests the possibility that a more general representation theory can be formulated in the case of a normed algebra with a nontrivial socle. This we attempt to do in this paper.
