Local–global principles for embedding of fields with involution into simple algebras with involution

Normed algebras with involution

We show that most of the theory of Hermitian Banach algebras can be proved for normed ∗-algebras without the assumption of completeness. The condition r(x) ≤ p(x) for all x (where p(x) = r(x∗x)1/2 is the Pták function), which is essential in the theory of Hermitian Banach algebras, is replaced for normed ∗-algebras by the condition r(x + y) ≤ p(x) + p(y) for all x, y. In case of Banach ∗-algebr...

Generic Algebras with Involution of Degree 8m

The centers of the generic central simple algebras with involution are interesting objects in the theory of central simple algebras. These fields also arise as invariant fields for linear actions of projective orthogonal or symplectic groups. In this paper, we prove that when the characteristic is not 2, these fields are retract rational, in the case the degree is 8m and m is odd. We achieve th...

On centralizers of prime rings with involution

‎Let $R$ be a ring with involution $*$‎. ‎An additive mapping $T:Rto R$ is called a left(respectively right) centralizer if $T(xy)=T(x)y$ (respectively $T(xy)=xT(y)$) for all $x,yin R$‎. ‎The purpose of this paper is to examine the commutativity of prime rings with involution satisfying certain identities involving left centralizers.

2-local Mappings on Algebras with Involution

We investigate 2-local ∗-automorphisms, 2-local ∗-antiautomorphisms, and 2-local Jordan ∗-derivations on certain algebras with involution.
