AbstractWe introduce the concept of a rare element in a non-associative normed algebra and show that the existence of such an element is the only obstruction to continuity of a surjective homomorphism from a non-associative Banach algebra to a unital normed algebra with simple completion. Unital associative algebras do not admit any rare elements, and hence automatic continuity holds.

AbstractThe paper [3] proved a necessary algebraic condition for a Banach algebra A with finite-dimensional radical R to have a unique complete (algebra) norm, and conjectured that this condition is also sufficient. We extend the above theorem. The conjecture is confirmed in the case where A is separable and A/R is commutative, but is shown to fail in general. Similar questions for derivations are discussed.

It is not known if a commutative, topologically simple, radical Banach algebra exists. If, however, every derivation on such an algebra is continuous, this yields the automatic continuity of all derivations on commutative, semiprime Banach algebras. Utilising techniques used by Thomas in his proof of the Singer-Wermer conjecture, we show that, if A is a commutative, topologically simple Banach algebra with a non-zero derivation on it, then a quotient of a certain localisation of A has a power series structure. A pivotal role is played by what we call ample sets of denominators.

The fact proved by Cleveland [4], that the topology of any (non-complete) algebra norm on a C*-algebra is stronger than the topology of the usual norm, is reencountered as a direct consequence of a theorem, which we prove in this note, stating that homomorphisms from certain non-complete normed (associative) algebras onto some semisimple Banach algebras are automatically continuous.

We establish the hyperstability of -Jordan homomorphisms from a normed algebra to a Banach algebra, and also we show that an -Jordan homomorphism between two commutative Banach algebras is an -ring homomorphism.

This paper surveys the known results on automatic continuity of positive functionals on topological *-algebras and then shows how two theorems on Banach *-algebras extend to complete metrizable topological *-algebras. The two theorems concerned are Loy's theorem on separable Banach *-algebras A with centre Z such that AZ is of countable codimension and Varopoulos' result on Banach *-algebras with bounded approximate identity. Both theorems have the conclusion that all positive functionals on such algebras are continuous. The extension of the second theorem requires the algebra to be locally convex and the approximate identity to be ‘uniformly bounded’. Neither extension requires the algebra to be LMC. This means that the proof of the first theorem is quite different from the corresponding Banach algebra result (which used spectral theory). The proof of the second is closer to the previously known LMC version, but actually neater by being more general. It is also shown that the well-known estimate of |f(a*ba)| for a positive functional f on a Banach *-algebra may be obtained without the usual use of spectral theory. The paper concludes with a list of open questions.

In this paper we consider automatic continuity of 3-homomorphism and anti-3-homomorphism between non-unital ternary Banach algebras. We show that every surjective 3-homomorphism (anti-3-homomorphism) from ternary Banach algebra A into semisimple ternary Banach algebra B is continuous.

We define the spectrum of an element a in a non-associative algebra A according to a classical notion of invertibility (a is invertible if the multiplication operators La and Ra are bijective). Around this notion of spectrum, we develop a basic theoretical support for a non-associative spectral theory. Thus we prove some classical theorems of automatic continuity free of the requirement of associativity. In particular, we show the uniqueness of the complete norm topology of m-semisimple algebras, obtaining as a corollary of this result a well-known theorem of Barry E. Johnson (1967). The celebrated result of C.E. Rickart (1960) about the continuity of dense-range homomorphisms is also studied in the non-associative framework. Finally, because non-associative algebras are very suitable models in genetics, we provide here a hint of how to apply this approach in that context, by showing that every homomorphism from a complete normed algebra onto a particular type of evolution algebra is automatically continuous.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a concept of a cone inner product space over Banach algebras. This is done by replacing the co-domain of the classical inner product space by an ordered Banach algebra. Some properties such as Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, parallelogram identity and Pythagoras theorem are established in this setting. Similarly, the notion of cone normed algebra was introduced. Some illustrative examples are given to support our findings.

Abstract Let $(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $(G_2,\omega _2)$ be weighted discrete groups and $0\lt p\leq 1$ . We characterise biseparating bicontinuous algebra isomorphisms on the p-Banach algebra $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ . We also characterise bipositive and isometric algebra isomorphisms between the p-Banach algebras $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(G_2,\omega _2)$ and isometric algebra isomorphisms between $\ell ^p(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(S_2,\omega _2)$ , where $(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $(S_2,\omega _2)$ are weighted discrete semigroups.

We prove that each surjective Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra [Formula: see text] onto a semiprime commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a homomorphism, and each 5-Jordan homomorphism from a unital Banach algebra [Formula: see text] into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a 5-homomorphism.
