A note on banach partial *-algebras

A Banach partial *-algebra is a locally convex partial *-algebra whose total space is a Banach space. A Banach partial *-algebra is said to be of type (B) if it possesses a generating family of multiplier spaces that are also Banach spaces. We describe the basic properties of such objects and display a number of examples, namely Lp-like function spaces and spaces of operators on Hilbert scales.
