Conditional expectation and bicontractive projections on Jordan $$C^ *$$- algebras and their generalizations. (English) Zbl 0598.46044
A JB$${}^*$$-triple is a complex Banach space equipped with a compatible triple product structure. The class contains all Jordan $$C^*$$-algebras (also called JB$${}^*$$-algebras), including the exceptional one, as well as all $$C^*$$-algebras. According to W. Kaup [Math. Scand. 54, 95- 100 (1984; Zbl 0578.46066)], if P is a contractive projection on a $$JB^*$$-triple U, then P(U) is a $$JB^*$$-triple and $$P\{PabPc\}=P\{PaPbPc\}$$ for a,b,c in U.
By using these results of Kaup and their own previous work [Math. Scand. 52, 279-311 (1983; Zbl 0547.46048); J. Reine Angew. Math. 356, 67-89 (1985; Zbl 0547.46049)], the authors obtain additional structure of P(U) and prove a new conditional expectation formula. Specifically it is shown that P(U) is isomorphic to a JB$${}^*$$-subtriple of the bidual U”, which is a $$JBW^*$$-triple by work of Dineen [Math. Scand., to appear] and Barton-Timoney [Math. Scand., to appear]; and that $$P\{PaPbc\}=P\{PaPbPc\}$$ holds for a,b,c in U. These reslts are then used to solve the bicontractive projection problem for $$JB^*$$-triples: a contractive projection P on a $$JB^*$$-triple U is bicontractive if and only if $$P=(I+\theta)$$ where $$\theta$$ is an involutive isometry of U. This last result includes all known results on bicontractive projections on Banach spaces supporting an algebraic structure, i.e. $$C^*$$- algebras, $$J^*$$-algebras, JB algebras.
