Extract

Let A be a *-algebra of operators on a Hilbert space H, and let Ah, A+ denote respectively the sets of self-adjoint and positive operators in A. A+ is a positive cone in Ah and it induces a partial ordering in Ah. The lattice properties of Ah were studied by R. Archbold in (1) and (2), and Chu Cho-Ho gave a different proof of some of his results in (3).
