Abstract
We seek the generalization of the Gelfand-Naimark theorems for locally C*-algebras. Precisely, if A is a unital commutative locally C*-algebra, then it is shown that A is *-isomorphic (topologically and algebraically) to C({Delta}). Further, if A is any locally C*-algebra, then it is realized as a closed *-subalgebra of some L(H) up to a topological algebraic *-isomorphism. Also, a brief exposition of the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction is given and some of its consequences are discussed. (author). 16 refs.
