Streszczenie
We continue our study of topological partial $^*$-algebras, focusing on the interplay between various partial multiplications. The special case of partial $^*$-algebras of operators is examined first, in particular the link between strong and weak multiplications, on one hand, and invariant positive sesquilinear (ips) forms, on the other. Then the analysis is extended to abstract topological partial $^*$-algebras, emphasizing the crucial role played by appropriate bounded elements, called $\cal M$-bounded. Finally, some remarks are made concerning representations in terms of so-called partial $GC^*$-algebras of operators.
