Abstract

Let (A,Ao)(A, A_o) be a topological quasi *-algebra, which means in particular that AoA_o is a topological *-algebra, dense in AA. Let πo\pi^o be a *-representation of AoA_o in some pre-Hilbert space DH{\cal D} \subset {\cal H}. Then we present several ways of extending πo\pi^o, by closure, to some larger quasi *-algebra contained in AA, either by Hilbert space operators, or by sesquilinear forms on D{\cal D}. Explicit examples are discussed, both abelian and nonabelian, including the CCR algebra.
