Abstract |
|
A Banach ∗-algebra is called symmetric, if the spectra of elements of the form a∗a contain only nonnegative real numbers. Symmetric Banach ∗-algebras have a series of important properties, especially with respect to their representation theories. Here it is proved that lensoring with finite dimensional matrix rings preserves symmetry. As an application it is shown that the category of locally compact groups with symmetric L1-a1gebras is closed under finite extensions. |
