Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} be an algebra, and let A2=\mathcal{A}^2 = span{ab:a,bA}\{ab : a, b \in \mathcal{A}\} be a subalgebra of A\mathcal{A}. In this paper, we prove that if A2\mathcal{A}^2 has infinite codimension in A\mathcal{A} iff A\mathcal{A} has discontinuous square annihilation property (DSAP). In fact, in this case, the algebra A\mathcal{A} admits infinitely many non-equivalent algebra norms.
