Summary:
We introduce the concept of a pseudo-Kleene algebra which is a non-distributive modification of a Kleene algebra introduced by J. A. Kalman [Kalman, J. A.: Lattices with involution. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 87 (1958), 485–491.]. Basic properties of pseudo-Kleene algebras are studied. For pseudo-Kleene algebras with a fix-point there are determined subdirectly irreducible members.
