Abstract:Let A and B be complete normed algebras with a unit such that B is simple and power-associative, and let  W A ! B be a dense-range homomorphism. We prove that if  is irreducible (that is, Â.I / ¤ B, for every closed proper ideal I of A), then  is continuous. The continuity of non-irreducible homomorphisms is also obtained provided that the set of «spectrally rare»elements in the range algebra is not dense in B. These results extend the classical Rickart's dense-range homomorphism theorem to the non-associat… Show more
“…In [16], I. Kaplansky proved that left division complete normed (non-associative) algebras are isomorphic to C. Many years ago, I. Kaplansky had obtained similar characterizations of the field of complex numbers in [15]. Inspired by these facts, in [22, Definition 2.1] (see also [21]) the following definition of an invertible element was established. This definition is nothing but [3, Proposition 1.19] free of the requirement of associativity.…”

In this paper we characterize the maximal modular ideals of an evolution algebra A in order to describe its Jacobson radical, Rad(A). We characterize semisimple evolution algebras (i.e. those such that Rad(A) = {0})as well as radical ones. We introduce two elemental notions of spectrum of an element a in an evolution algebra A, namely the spectrum σ A (a) and the m-spectrum σ A m (a) (they coincide for associative algebras, but in general σ A (a) ⊆ σ A m (a), and we show examples where the inclusion is strict). We prove that they are non-empty and describe σ A (a) and σ A m (a) in terms of the eigenvalues of a suitable matrix related with the structure constants matrix of A. We say A is m-semisimple (respectively spectrally semisimple) if zero is the unique ideal contained into the set of a in A such that σ A m (a) = {0} (respectively σ A (a) = {0}). In contrast to the associative case (where the notions of semisimplicity, spectrally semisimplicty and m-semisimplicity are equivalent) we show examples of m-semisimple evolution algebras A that, nevertheless, are radical algebras (i.e. Rad(A) = A). Also some theorems about automatic continuity of homomorphisms will be considered.

“…In this section we shall not develop the required framework to consider genetic algebras in a deeper way (a work addressed specifically to this question is [18]). In what follows, we simply provide a flavour of how to apply some of the above results in the framework of evolution algebras.…”

“…Nevertheless, in Section 5, we give an idea of how to obtain applications of some of these results in the framework of evolution algebras (very relevant algebras in non-Mendelian Genetics, and hence in Molecular Biology). For a wider study addressed specifically to the spectral theory of evolution algebras, see [18].…”
Abstract.We define the spectrum of an element a in a non-associative algebra A according to a classical notion of invertibility (a is invertible if the multiplication operators L a and R a are bijective). Around this notion of spectrum, we develop a basic theoretical support for a non-associative spectral theory. Thus we prove some classical theorems of automatic continuity free of the requirement of associativity. In particular, we show the uniqueness of the complete norm topology of m-semisimple algebras, obtaining as a corollary of this result a well-known theorem of Barry E. Johnson (1967).The celebrated result of C.E. Rickart (1960) about the continuity of dense-range homomorphisms is also studied in the non-associative framework.Finally, because non-associative algebras are very suitable models in genetics, we provide here a hint of how to apply this approach in that context, by showing that every homomorphism from a complete normed algebra onto a particular type of evolution algebra is automatically continuous.
