Abstract
We study the left version of core inverses in \(*\)-rings. An example is given to show that there exists a \(*\)-ring in which a left \((a, a^{*})\)-invertible element a need not be regular. Based on this fact, the left core inverse which is different from the left \((a, a^{*})\)-inverse is introduced and studied. For any \(*\)-ring R and \(a, x \in R\), x is called a left core inverse of a if \(axa=a, xax=x,(ax)^{*}=ax\) and \(xa^2=a\). It is proved that x is a left core inverse of a if and only if x is both a left \((a,a^{*})\)-inverse and a \(\{1\}\)-inverse of a.
