``Banach *-algebra representation remark'' by asteroid on 2008-09-17 19:24:02
To bci1,

I've deleted the remark you added, because the second part of it doesn't really make sense to me.. I'll post it here anyway:

-----------------------------------------
"Recall that a Hilbert space is a Banach space in the norm induced by the inner product, and also that
a Banach *-algebra is a Banach algebra endowed with an involution (*); as the definition of a Banach
algebra also involves a Banach space with additional algebraic properties, the representation of a
Banach *-algebra on a Hilbert space is natural in the sense that the space underlying such a representation
is a Banach space both for the domain and range (codomain) of the *-homomorphism that defines $\pi$."
----------------------------------------

If you tell me what you are trying to say, I can work something out I guess..
