Involutive gradings of JBW-triple factors

Let ( B + , B − ) be an involutive grading of a JBW * -triple factor A with associated involutive triple automorphism φ . When the JBW * -subtriple B + of A is not a JBW * -triple factor there exists a non-zero Peirce weak * -closed inner ideal J in A with Peirce spaces J 0 , J 1 , and J 2 such that...

Description
Summary:Let ( B + , B − ) be an involutive grading of a JBW * -triple factor A with associated involutive triple automorphism φ . When the JBW * -subtriple B + of A is not a JBW * -triple factor there exists a non-zero Peirce weak * -closed inner ideal J in A with Peirce spaces J 0 , J 1 , and J 2 such that When both B + and B − are JBW * -triple factors it is shown that either the situation reduces to that above with J 0 or J 2 equal to zero or, in the case that B + (or, by symmetry, B − ) contains a unitary tripotent v , that v is unitary in A , and where H ( A 2 ( v ), φ ) is the JBW * -algebra of φ -invariant elements in the JBW * -algebra A 2 ( v ), and S ( A 2 ( v ), φ ) is the JBW * -triple of − φ -invariant elements of A 2 ( v ). In the special case in which A is a discrete W * -factor it is shown that such a unitary tripotent always exists in B + (or B − ), thereby completing the description of involutive gradings in this case.
