The decomposition theorems in Baer *-rings
Abstract
We show a general decomposition theorem in Baer *-rings. As a consequence the vast majority of decompositions known in the algebra of bounded Hilbert space operators are generalized to Baer *-rings. There are also results which are new in the algebra of bounded Hilbert space operators. The model of summands in Wold-Soci\'nski decomposition in Baer *-rings is given.
