Algèbres à bases bornées. (Algebras with bounded bases) (Q1113429)

We introduce a new class of locally-convex algebras containing the one of unital uniformly A-convex algebras. It is the collection of those separated locally-convex algebras which have an algebraic basis whose idempotent hull is bounded. Such algebras are said to be ``with m-bounded bases''. Under different notions of completeness, we endow these algebras with a complete algebra norm which has the same bounded sets of different kinds. Different questions on the factorization and commutativity are considered.
