Abstract: | We show that most of the theory of Hermitian Banach algebras can be proved for normed *-algebras without the assumption of
completeness. The conditionr(x)≤p(x) for allx (wherep(x)=r(x
*
x)
1/2
is the Pták function), which is essential in the theory of Hermitian Banach algebras, is replaced for normed *-algebras by
the conditionr(x+y)≤p(x)+p(y) for allx, y. In case of Banach *-algebras these conditions are equivalent.
