Supporting sequences of pure states on JB algebras

Jan Hamhalter — 1999

Studia Mathematica

We show that any sequence ( φ n ) of mutually orthogonal pure states on a JB algebra A such that ( φ n ) forms an almost discrete sequence in the relative topology induced by the primitive ideal space of A admits a sequence ( a n ) consisting of positive, norm one, elements of A with pairwise orthogonal supports which is supporting for ( φ n ) in the sense of φ n ( a n ) = 1 for all n. Moreover, if A is separable then ( a n ) can be taken such that ( φ n ) is uniquely determined by the biorthogonality condition φ n ( a n ) = 1 . Consequences of this result improving...

Pure states on Jordan algebras

Jan Hamhalter — 2001

Mathematica Bohemica

We prove that a pure state on a C * -algebras or a JB algebra is a unique extension of some pure state on a singly generated subalgebra if and only if its left kernel has a countable approximative unit. In particular, any pure state on a separable JB algebra is uniquely determined by some singly generated subalgebra. By contrast, only normal pure states on JBW algebras are determined by singly generated subalgebras, which provides a new characterization of normal pure states. As an application we contribute...

The order topology for a von Neumann algebra

Emmanuel ChetcutiJan HamhalterHans Weber — 2015

Studia Mathematica

The order topology τ o ( P ) (resp. the sequential order topology τ o s ( P ) ) on a poset P is the topology that has as its closed sets those that contain the order limits of all their order convergent nets (resp. sequences). For a von Neumann algebra M we consider the following three posets: the self-adjoint part M s a , the self-adjoint part of the unit ball M ¹ s a , and the projection lattice P(M). We study the order topology (and the corresponding sequential variant) on these posets, compare the order topology to the other...
