### On classifying involutive locally $m$-convex algebras, via cones

#### Abstract

We show that any hermitian $^{\ast}$-$l.m.c.a.$, the set of positive elements of which is a locally bounded cone, is necessarily a $Q$-algebra (the converse is not true). We also obtain that the algebra of complex numbers is the unique locally $C^{\ast}$-algebra without zero-divisors.
