Algebra with Involution

Let ( R , 0 , + , − , ∗ , ⋆ ) 𝑅 0 ⋆ (R,0,+,-,*,\star) be a commutative Involutive Ring. An algebra with involution over R 𝑅 R is a (potentially non-associative) Algebra over a Ring A 𝐴 A equipped with an involution ( − ) † : A → A : superscript † → 𝐴 𝐴 (-)^{\dagger}:A\to A that satisfies the following law:
