On Unitification of $*$-rings

Sanjay More, Anil Khairnar, B. N. Waphare

Abstract

S. K. Berberian raised the open problem ``Can every weakly Rickart $*$-ring be embedded in a Rickart $*$-ring? with preservation of right projections?" Berberian has given a partial solution to this problem. Khairnar and Waphare raised a similar problem for p.q.-Baer $*$-rings and gave a partial solution. In this paper, we give more general partial solutions to both the problems.
