In (2), Allan denned a class of locally convex involution algebras called GB*-algebras, and proved that, in the commutative case, a GB*-algebra is (algebraically) isomorphic to an algebra of extended-complex-valued continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space. The main object of the present paper is to consider the non-commutative case. After a slight modification of Allan's definition, we shall characterize locally convex GB*-algebras as a certain class of algebras of closed operators on a Hilbert space. We shall first show how Allan's definition may be extended to non-locally-convex algebras, to include, for example, the algebra of measurable functions on a finite measure space. This is the subject of §§ 2-4. Sections 5-7 develop the main representation theorem (7.13) and associated results. The final section is devoted to the question of the continuity of positive functionals.
