Homomorphisms of B∗-algebras

James DeWitt Stein

Vol. 28 (1969), No. 2, 431–439
Abstract

This paper is divided into two sections. The first deals with Banach algebra homomorphisms of a von Neumann algebra A, and extends the Bade-Curtis theory for commutative B-algebras to von Neumann algebras, as well as characterizing the separating ideal in the closure of the range of the homomorphism. The second section concerns homomorphisms of B-algebras; the chief result being the existence of an ideal with cofinite closure such that the restriction of the homomorphism to any closed, two-sided ideal contained in is continuous.
