On the order continuous bidual of \(f\)-Banach lattice algebras (Q689804)

A real Banach algebra is called an almost Banach \(f\)-algebra, if \(\inf(a,b) =0\) always implies \(ab=0\). The main theorem says: Let \(A\) be an almost Banach \(f\)-algebra. Then the order-continuous bidual of \(A\) equipped with the Arens product is again an algebra of this type. A similar result for Banach \(f\)-algebras was proved by the author in: Acta Sci. Math. (Sz.) 55, No. 1/2, 167-179 (1991; Zbl 0759.46029).
