Normed Quasi *-Algebras: Basic Theory and Examples

subject

description

In this chapter we shall consider the case, where \({\mathfrak A}\) is endowed with a norm topology, making \(({\mathfrak A},{{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0})\) into a normed quasi *-algebra in the sense of Definition 3.1.1, below. This opens our discussion on locally convex quasi *-algebras, starting from the simplest situation. Nevertheless, as we shall see, simple does not mean trivial at all.
