On Inner Ideals in Ternary Algebras.
In this article, a theorem is proved asserting that any linear functional defined on a JBW-algebra admits a Lebesque decomposition with respect to any normal state defined on the algebra. Then we show that the positivity (and the unicity) of this decomposition is insured for the trace states defined on the algebra. In fact, this property can be used to give a new characterization of the trace states amoungst all the normal states.
The Banach-Lie algebras ℌκ of all holomorphic infinitesimal isometries of the classical symmetric complex Banach manifolds of compact type (κ = 1) and non compact type (κ = −1) associated with a complex JB*-triple Z are considered and the Lie ideal structure of ℌκ is studied.
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 -algebra permits the vector decomposable as convex combination of fewer unitaries; certain -algebra results due to M. Rørdam have been extended to the general setting of -algebras.
We study various Banach space properties of the dual space E* of a homogeneous Banach space (alias, a JB*-triple) E. For example, if all primitive M-ideals of E are maximal, we show that E* has the Alternative Dunford-Pettis property (respectively, the Kadec-Klee property) if and only if all biholomorphic automorphisms of the open unit ball of E are sequentially weakly continuous (respectively, weakly continuous). Those E for which E* has the weak* Kadec-Klee property are characterised by a compactness...
