p-Banach algebras with generalized involution and C-algebra structure
p-Banach algebras with generalized involution and C-algebra structure
In this paper, we consider p-Banach algebras endowed with a generalized involution. We show that various $C^ast$-like conditions force the algebra to be $C^ast$-algebra under an equivalent norm.
