Popis: The Gelfand–Mazur Theorem, a very basic theorem in the theory of Banach algebras states that: (Real version) Every real normed division algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of all real numbers R , the complex numbers C or the quaternions H ; (Complex version) Every complex normed division algebra is isometrically isomorphic to C . This theorem has undergone a large number of generalizations. We present a survey of these generalizations and also discuss some closely related unsettled issues.
