we have devided the thesis in to five chapters. the first recollects facts from purely algebraic theory of jordan algebras and also basic properties of jb and jb* - algebras which are needed in the sequel. in the second chapter we extend to jb* - algebras, a classical result due to cleveland [8]. this result shows shows the weakness of jb* - norm topology on a jb* - algebera. in chapter three, ...
In this paper, we determine the character space of vector-valued Lipschitz algebra Lipd(X, E), where (X, d) is any metric and E a certain unital semisimple commutative *-Banach algebra.
