What type of series is named after Gelfand?
Gelfand Series
Fourier Series
Taylor Series
Gelfand-Naimark
Answer
The Gelfand-Naimark theorem states that every C*-algebra is *-isomorphic to a concrete algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. In other words, every abstract C*-algebra can be represented as a concrete algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. This result is of fundamental importance in Theory of C*-algebras and has numerous applications in quantum mechanics and other areas of mathematics and physics.
