On unitary convex decompositions of vectors in a J B * -algebra

Akhlaq A. Siddiqui (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

By exploiting his recent results, the author further investigates the extent to which variation in the coefficients of a unitary convex decomposition of a vector in a unital J B * -algebra permits the vector decomposable as convex combination of fewer unitaries; certain C * -algebra results due to M. Rørdam have been extended to the general setting of J B * -algebras.

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...

Quadro-quadric Cremona transformations in low dimensions via the  J C -correspondence

Luc Pirio, Francesco Russo (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

It has been previously established that a Cremona transformation of bidegree (2,2) is linearly equivalent to the projectivization of the inverse map of a rank 3 Jordan algebra. We call this result the “ J C -correspondence”. In this article, we apply it to the study of quadro-quadric Cremona transformations in low-dimensional projective spaces. In particular we describe new very simple families of such birational maps and obtain complete and explicit classifications in dimension 4 and 5.

Range tripotents and order in JBW*-triples

Lina Oliveira (2010)

Banach Center Publications

In a JBW*-triple, i.e., a symmetric complex Banach space possessing a predual, the set of tripotents is naturally endowed with a partial order relation. This work is mainly concerned with this partial order relation when restricted to the subset 𝓡(A) of tripotents in a JBW*-triple B formed by the range tripotents of the elements of a JB*-subtriple A of B. The aim is to present recent developments obtained for the poset 𝓡(A) of the range tripotents relative to A, whilst also providing the necessary...
