A self-map \(\ast : x \mapsto x^\ast\) on a complex quasi Jordan algebra \(\mathscr{A}\) is called an involution on \(\mathscr{A}\) if it satisfies \((i)~(x^\ast)^\ast=x\) \((ii)~(x+y)^\ast=x^\ast+y^\ast\) \((iii)~(\alpha x)^\ast=\overline{\alpha}x^\ast\) \((iv)~(x\triangleleft y)^\ast=x^\ast \triangleleft y^\ast\) for all \(x,y\in \mathscr{A}\) and \(\alpha\in \mathbb{C}\). In such a case, \(\mathscr{A}\) is called a quasi Jordan \(\ast-\)algebra. If, in addition, the algebra \(\mathscr{A}\) is normed satisfying the condition \(||x^\ast||=||x||\) for all \(x\in \mathscr{A}\), then \(\mathscr{A}\) is called an involutive quasi Jordan normed algebra. An element \(x\) in a quasi Jordan \(\ast\)algebra \(\mathscr{A}\) is said to be self-adjoint if \(x^\ast=x\). An element \(u\) in a unital quasi Jordan algebra with involution \(\ast\) is said to be \(e-\)unitary if it is invertible with respect to \(e\) with inverse \(u^\ast\). An element \(u\) is said to be unitary if it is \(e-\)unitary for all units \(e\in \mathscr{A}\). In this paper, the authors have initiated the study of involutions in the setting of complex quasi Jordan algebras \(\mathscr{A}\) and discussed the notions of self-adjoint and unitary elements. They obtained some interesting results and also proved that a quasi Jordan \(\ast-\)algebra \(\mathscr{A}\) may have nonself-adjoint zero elements. Additionally, they explored various properties of \(e-\)unitary element and obtain some appropriate analogue of the Russo-Dye theorem for unital involutive split quasi Jordan Banach algebras.
