Synopsis

An Archimedean unital f-algebra A is called a U-algebra if, for every a∊A, there exists an invertible element u∊A such that a = u |a|. Characterisations of a U-algebra are established. As an application, an extension theorem of Hahn–Banach type on modules over a U-algebra and over the complexification of a Dedekind complete unital f-algebra is given.
