Linear isometries between real JB*-triples and C*-algebras
Abstract
Let be a (not necessarily surjective) linear isometry between two real JB-triples. Then for each there exists a tripotent in the bidual, of such that \begin{enumerate}[] \item , for all in the real JB-subtriple, generated by ; \item The mapping is a linear isometry. \end{enumerate} Furthermore, when is a real C-algebra, the projection satisfies that is an isometric triple homomorphism. When and are real C-algebras and is abelian of real type, then there exists a partial isometry such that the mapping is an isometric triple homomorphism. These results generalise, to the real setting, some previous contributions due to C.-H. Chu and N.-C. Wong, and C.-H. Chu and M. Mackey in 2004 and 2005. We give an example of a non-surjective real linear isometry which cannot be complexified to a complex isometry, showing that the results in the real setting can not be derived by a mere complexification argument.
