On symmetry in certain group algebras

Duane W. Bailey

Vol. 24 (1968), No. 3, 413–419
Abstract

A complex Banach algebra A with involution x x is symmetric if Sp (xx) [0,) for each x A. It is shown that (i) if A is symmetric, the algebra of all n × n matrices with elements from A is symmetric, and (ii) the group algebra of any semi-direct product of a finite group with a locally compact group having a symmetric group algebra is again symmetric.
