Abstract: We study two types of series over a real alternative ∗-algebra A. The first type are series of the form sumn(x−y)puntonan, where an and y belong to A and (x−y)punton denotes the n--th power of x−y w.r.t. the usual product obtained by requiring commutativity of the indeterminate x with the elements of A. In the real and in the complex cases, the sums of power series define, respectively, the real analytic and the holomorphic functions. In the quaternionic case, a series of this type produces, in the interior of its set of convergence, a function belonging to the recently introduced class of slice regular functions. We show that also in the general setting of an alternative algebra A, the sum of a power series is a slice regular function. We consider also a second type of series, the spherical series, where the powers are replaced by a different sequence of slice regular polynomials. It is known that on the quaternions, the set of convergence of these series is an open set, a property not always valid in the case of power series. We characterize the sets of convergence of this type of series for an arbitrary alternative ∗-algebra A. In particular, we prove that these sets are always open in the quadratic cone of A. Moreover, we show that every slice regular function has a spherical series expansion at every point.
