Classification and GNS-construction for general universal products

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219025715500046Cited by:4 (Source: Crossref)

    It is known that there are exactly five natural products, which are universal products fulfilling two normalization conditions simultaneously. We classify universal products without these extra conditions. We find a two-parameter deformation of the Boolean product, which we call (r, s)-products. Our main result states that, besides degnerate cases, these are the only new universal products. Furthermore, we introduce a GNS-construction for not necessarily positive linear functionals on algebras and study the GNS-construction for (r, s)-product functionals.
