The main purpose of this paper is to define types of positive linear functionals on abstract *-algebras, and to characterize them. For that, we introduce an order and an equivalence relation of positive linear functionals defined by GNS-representations. 1993 Academic Press. Inc.

✦ Synopsis
We show that any weakly closed algebra of bounded operators acting on a Banach space and different from the algebra of all bounded operators admits positive vector-functionals continuous in the essential operator norm. ᮊ 2000

We show that if a finite dimensional Hopf algebra H over ރ has a basis with respect to which all the structure constants are nonnegative, then H is isomorphic to the bi-cross-product Hopf algebra constructed by Takeuchi and Majid from a finite group G and a unique factorization G s G G of G into t
It is proved that for any vector space W, any set of parafermion-like vertex operators on W in a certain canonical way generates a generalized vertex algebra in the sense of Dong and Lepowsky with W as a natural module. As an application, generalized vertex algebras are constructed from the Lepowsky
