Classification of the direct limits of involution simple associative algebras and the corresponding dimension groups. (Q375192)

Let \(\mathbb F\) be a ground field which is algebraically closed of arbitrary characteristic and let \(A\) be an involution associative algebra over \(\mathbb F\). \(A\) is called involution simple if \(A^2\neq 0\) and it has no non-trivial *-invariant ideals. An infinite dimensional algebra \(A\) is locally (semi)simple if any finite subset of \(A\) is contained in a finite dimensional (semi)simple subalgebra. If \(A\) has an involution and these subalgebras can be chosen involution simple with respect to the inherited involution, then \(A\) is called locally involution simple. In the paper under review, the author mainly gives a classification of locally involution simple algebras of countable dimension over \(\mathbb F\). In addition, the dimension groups corresponding to the locally involution simple algebras also are classified completely.
