%0 Journal Article %T Spectral and polar decomposition in AW*-algebras %A Michael Frank %J Mathematics %D 1993 %I arXiv %X We show the possibility and the uniqueness of polar decomposition of elements of arbitrary AW*-algebras inside them. We prove that spectral decomposition of normal elements of normal AW*-algebras is possible and unique inside them. The possibility of spectral decomposition of normal elements does not depend on the normality of the AW*-algebra under consideration. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/funct-an/9303001v1
