A nilpotency question on $C^{*}$ algebras

I'm not sure if this is useful: If your $C^*$-algebra also has a non-zero nilpotent element, then it will have nilpotent elements of all orders, it is not (algebraically) of bounded index, so does not …

Orthogonality in non-inner product spaces

Concerning your follow-up question (iii) there is the following very nice result: For Birkhoff-James orthogonality it is easy to find examples where $y\perp x$ but $\left\|x\right\|/\left\|x+\alpha …
