Extract

An element a of a Banach algebra A over ࠶ will be called quasi-central if, for some K ≥ 1,

The set Q(A) of all quasi-central elements of A will be called the quasi-centre of A and the set of elements a which satisfy (1) for a particular value of K will be denoted by Q(K, A). The motivation for these definitions is the result of Le Page ([1], proposition 3) that Q(1, A) coincides with the centre Z(A) of A. The reader is referred to [2] and [3] for a study of the properties of quasi-central elements.
