topologically irreducible representations are algebrically irreducible for C*-algebras


Theorem - Every topologically irreducible representationPlanetmathPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/BanachAlgebraRepresentation) of a C*-algebraPlanetmathPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/CAlgebra) is algebraically irreducible.

Remark- It follows easily from the definition that algebraically irreducible of any Banach *-algebra are always topologically irreducible. The above theorem says that for C*-algebras the converse is also true.
