Definition talk:B-Algebra

Hi LF. I can't find that either. Looking at: http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/20015256?uid=3738032&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&sid=48424650154377 It may be Boolean Algebra. Other sources abbreviate Banach Algebra to B-Algebra (but I don't think that's anything to do with them).

There's not that much research on B-Algebras in general. ProofWiki can lead the way with them then. --Jshflynn 08:52, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * PM not LF. Boolean algebras are something different, and Banach algebras are something different again. I found a few papers on them, but so far as you say there's little out there. Go for it. --prime mover 08:58, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry. LF was doing a lot of work last night cleaning up this new section (which I am thankful for) and I just assumed it was him. They seem like a very arbitrary structure but they have a connection to group theory which I will get to eventually. --Jshflynn 10:58, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * B-algebras appear to be generalisations of Boolean algebras, having the $x \circ x = 0$ axiom. That's where I'd put my money on. --Lord_Farin 09:03, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * To add to the confusion there are also Borel algebras which are a different thing yet again. --prime mover 21:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
