  • In a previous paper we discussed the duals of generic hypersurfaces: both smooth hypersurfaces in ℝn and algebraic hypersurfaces in real or complex projective space ℙn. In this note we show how to extend the methods of [1] to cover the case of complete intersections in ℙn and preface this with a brief discussion on the contact of space curves in ℝn with planes. We shall use the notation of [1].

  • Let X be a metric space with metric d and for each x in X let Bλ[x] denote the closed ball of radius λ about x. Following Valentine [15] if K⊂X and λ is positive, then we call the set Bλ[K]=∪x∈KBλ[x] the λ-parallel body of K. The following fact is obvious.

  • It is known that if in a Banach*-algebra with unit the following holds:

    then it is a C*-algebra (see [3]).

    We shall show that the above theorem can be sharpened in the following way: we replace the submultiplicativity of the norm by the weaker assumption

    Observe that under this assumption even the existence of exp(ih) is not at all obvious, but it will be proved to be true below. Our main result is Theorem 2 which depends on Theorem 1. Our last remark is the equivalent-norm-version of the statement.
