Abstract |
|
Several variants of the classical Gelfand-Neumark characterization of complex C∗-algebras are here extended to characterize real C∗-algebras up to isometric*-isomorphism and also up to homeomorphic ∗-isomorphism. The proofs depend on norming the complexification of the real algebra and applying the author’s characterization of complex C∗-algebras to the result. L. Ingelstam has obtained similar but weaker results by an entirely different method. |
