Jan 18, 2019 at 12:28 comment added Yemon Choi Just to reply to the particular wording of the question: it is far more valuable to learn how to think about (Banach) algebras using basic logic and invention than to seek a ready-made list of counterexamples in "a good reference". Basically, if you cannot prove "all Banach algebras have property X", examine where your proof breaks down, and you may be led to construct a counterexample by yourself

Jan 17, 2019 at 21:12 comment added Uriya First Take the algebra of upper-triangular $3\times 3$ real matrices with $0$ on the diagonal and any non-central $a_0$. More generally, any non-commutative Banach algebra $A$ with $A^3=0$ will work.
