Abstract
In this homage to the late I M Gelfand, we try to give an overview of some of his contributions to the theories of Banach algebras in general and C*-algebras in particular, and briefly elaborate on the celebrated Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction which gives a way of passing from positivity-preserving linear functionals to representations on Hilbert space.
