Review text

Let \(A\) be a complex normed algebra and let \(M_{a,b}: x\to axb\) be the two-sided multiplication on \(A\). The algebra is called ultraprime, if \[ K:=\inf\{\| M_{a,b}\|:\;a,b\in A,\;\| a\|=\| b\|=1\}>0. \] The author studied some basic properties of ultraprime algebras in [Proc. Centre Math. Anal. Austral. Nat. Univ. 21, 297-317 (1989; Zbl 0701.46027)]. Every ultraprime algebra can be enlarged to a normable algebra of quotients \(Q(A)\), which is also ultraprime. Following ideas of Passman, the author constructs here normable symmetric algebras of quotients \(Q_ s(A)\) and obtains various results for them. Also, he introduces a \(C^*\)-algebra of quotients for an arbitrary \(C^*\)-algebra.
