Sunto

Presentiamo qui alcuni problemi aperti sulle algebre topologiche. Questo articolo è una versione leggermente modificata di [25] (un articolo scritto in polacco che dovrebbe apparire negli Atti di un congresso locale tenuto a Szczin nell'autunno 1988). Abbiamo aggiunto qui una proposizione che afferma che ogni algebra reale o complessa può essere topologizzata in modo da renderla un'algebra semi-topologica localmente convessa, e abbiamo fatto molte piccole modifiche.

Gran parte dei problemi riportati qui o in [25] sono pubblicati per la prima volta.

Summary

We present here a number of open problems concerning topological algebras. This is a slightly modified version of [25] (a paper written in Polsh and supposed to be edited in the Proceedings of a local conference held in Szczecin in fall 1988). We added here a proposition stating that every real or complex algebra can be so topologized that it becomes a locally convex semi-topological algebra, and made several small changes. Most of the problems stated here or in [25] are published for the first time.
