Abstract

Consideration of quotient-bounded elements in a locally convex GB*-algebra leads to the study of proper GB *-algebras viz those that admit nontrivial quotient-bounded elements. The construction and structure of such algebras are discussed. A representation theorem for a proper GB *-algebra representing it as an algebra of unbounded Hilbert space operators is obtained in a form that unifies the well-known Gelfand-Naimark representation theorem for C*-algebra and two other representation theorems for b*-algebras (also called LMC*-algebras), one representinga b *-algebra as an algebra of quotient bounded operators and the other as a weakly unbounded operator algebra. A number of examples are discussed to illustrate quotient-bounded operators. An algebra of unbounded operators constructed out of noncommutative L p-spaces on a regular probability gauge space and the convolution algebra of periodic distributions are analyzed in detail; whereas unbounded Hilbert algebras and Lw-integral of a measurable field of C*-algebras are discussed briefly.
