Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, we define the notion of C*-affine maps in the
unital *-rings and we investigate the C*-extreme points of the graph
and epigraph of such maps. We show that for a C*-convex map f on a
unital *-ring R satisfying the positive square root axiom with an additional
condition, the graph of f is a C*-face of the epigraph of f. Moreover,
we prove some results about the C*-faces of C*-convex sets in *-rings.
