Commutativity of C*-algebras and associativity of JB*-algebras
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2011
Abstract
A n.c. JB*-algebra is associative and commutative if and only if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. This generalizes the analogous theorem of Kaplansky for C*-algebras. Different characterizations of associativity are given.
