### A Few Conditions for a ${C}^{\ast}$-Algebra to Be Commutative

Lajos Molnár

#### Abstract

We present a few characterizations of the commutativity of ${C}^{\ast}$-algebras in terms of particular algebraic properties of power functions, the logarithmic and exponential functions, and the sine and cosine functions.
