Extract

Throughout the paper, A will denote a unital Banach algebra with centre Z over the complex field ℂ. An element a of A is called quasi-central if, for some K ≥ 1,

The set of elements a satisfying (1) for a particular value of K will be denoted by Q(K) and Q = UK≥1Q(K) will be called the quasi-centre of A.
