Introduction to Normed *-Algebras and their Representations - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The present book is not intended as a first approach to the matter. This book treats:

• spectral theory of Banach *-algebras,
• basic representation theory of normed *-algebras,
• spectral theory of representations of commutative *-algebras.

A feature of the book is the construction of the enveloping C*-algebra of a general normed *-algebra. Stripped of the usual assumptions of presence of an approximate identity, completeness, and continuity of the involution. The 8th edition sports a new part on

• representations on separable Hilbert spaces and slightly beyond.
