Abstract

We show that, in a symmetric m-convex algebra without algebraic zero-divisors, any self-adjoint and invertible element is either positive or negative. as a consequence we obtain that a symmetric m-convex algebra containing no algebraic zero-divisors and for which every positive element has a positive square root is isomorphic to C + Rad(A).
