$C^*$-algebras which are closed sub-algebras of Banach algebras have been studied many years ago. In this note we extend the main definition of $C^*$-algebras to metrizable topological algebras.

Graph C*-algebras C*(E) are the universal C*-algebras generated by partial isometries satisfying the Cuntz-Krieger relations determined by directed graphs E, and it is known that a simple graph C*-algebra is extremally rich in sense that it contains enough extreme consider a sufficient condition on a graph for which the associated graph algebra(possibly nonsimple) is extremally rich. We also present examples of nonextremally rich prime graph C*-algebras with finitely many ideals and with real rank zero.

We study continuous fields and K-groups of crossed products of C＊-algebras. It is shown under a reasonable assumption that there exist continuous fields of C＊ -algebras between crossed products of C＊ -algebras by amenable locally compact groups and tensor products of C＊ -algebras with their group C＊ -algebras, and their K-groups are the same under the additional assumptions.

We estimate the stable rank, connected stable rank and general stable rank of the multiplier algebras of $C^{＊}$-algebras under some conditions and prove that the ranks of them are infinite. Moreover, we show that for any $\sigma$-unital subhomogeneous $C^{＊}$-algebra, its stable rank is equal to that of its multiplier algebra.

We estimate the real rank of CCR C*-algebras under some assumptions. A applications we determine the real rank of the reduced group C*-algebras of non-compac connected, semi-simple and reductive Lie groups and that of the group C*-algebras of connected nilpotent Lie groups.

We analysis spectral subspaces of $C^*$-algebras for a compacr group action. And we prove the condition that the fixed point algebra of the product action is the tensor product of the fixed point algebras.

We prove that the reduced free product of $k\;{\times}\;k$ matrix algebras over abelian $C^*$-algebras is not the minimal tensor product of reduced free products of $k\;{\times}\;k$ matrix algebras over abelian $C^*$-algebras. It is shown that the reduced group $C^*$-algebra associated with a group having the property T of Kazhdan is not isomorphic to a reduced free product of abelian $C^*$-algebras or the minimal tensor product of such reduced free products. The infinite tensor product of reduced free products of abelian $C^*$-algebras is not isomorphic to the tensor product of a nuclear $C^*$-algebra and a reduced free product of abelian $C^*$-algebra. We discuss the freeness of free product $II_1$-factors and solidity of free product $II_1$-factors weaker than that of Ozawa. We show that the freeness in a free product is related to the existence of Cartan subalgebras in free product $II_1$-factors. Finally, we give a free product factor which is not solid in the weak sense.

Let X and Y be vector spaces. It is shown that a mapping $f:X{\rightarrow}Y$ satisfies the functional equation ${\ddag}$ $$2df(\frac{x_1+{\sum}_{j=2}^{2d}(-1)^jx_j}{2d})-2df(\frac{x_1+{\sum}_{j=2}^{2d}(-1)^{j+1}x_j}{2d})=2\sum_{j=2}^{2d}(-1)^jf(x_j)$$ if and only if the mapping $f:X{\rightarrow}Y$ is additive, and prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of the functional equation (${\ddag}$) in Banach modules over a unital $C^*$-algebra, and in Poisson Banach modules over a unital Poisson $C^*$-algebra. Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be unital $C^*$-algebras, Poisson $C^*$-algebras, Poisson $JC^*$-algebras or Lie $JC^*$-algebras. As an application, we show that every almost homomorphism $h:\mathcal{A}{\rightarrow}\mathcal{B}$ of $\mathcal{A}$ into $\mathcal{B}$ is a homomorphism when $h(d^nuy)=h(d^nu)h(y)$ or $h(d^nu{\circ}y)=h(d^nu){\circ}h(y)$ for all unitaries $u{\in}\mathcal{A}$, all $y{\in}\mathcal{A}$, and n = 0, 1, 2, ${\cdots}$. Moreover, we prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of homomorphisms in $C^*$-algebras, Poisson $C^*$-algebras, Poisson $JC^*$-algebras or Lie $JC^*$-algebras, and of Lie $JC^*$-algebra derivations in Lie $JC^*$-algebras.

It is shown that every almost linear mapping h : A\longrightarrowB of a unital $C^{*}$ -algebra A to a unital $C^{*}$ -algebra B is a homomorphism under some condition on multiplication, and that every almost linear continuous mapping h : A\longrightarrowB of a unital $C^{*}$ -algebra A of real rank zero to a unital $C^{*}$ -algebra B is a homomorphism under some condition on multiplication. Furthermore, we are going to prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of *-homomorphisms between unital $C^{*}$ -algebras, and of C-linear *-derivations on unital $C^{*}$ -algebras./ -algebras.

In this paper, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of bi-homomorphisms in $C^*$-ternary algebras and of bi-derivations on $C^*$-ternary algebras for the following bi-additive functional equation f(x + y, z - w) + f(x - y, z + w) = 2f(x, z) - 2f(y, w). This is applied to investigate bi-isomorphisms between $C^*$-ternary algebras.
