We prove that the predual of any JBW$^*$-algebra is a complex $1$-Plichko space and the predual of any JBW-algebra is a real $1$-Plichko space. I.e., any such space has a countably $1$-norming Markushevich basis, or, equivalently, a…

We show that the predual of a JBW$^*$-triple has the weak Banach-Saks property, that is, reflexive subspaces of a JBW$^*$-triple predual are super-reflexive. We also prove that JBW$^*$-triple preduals satisfy the Koml\'os property (which…

We prove, among other results, that three standard measures of weak non-compactness coincide in preduals of JBW$^*$-triples. This result is new even for preduals of von Neumann algebras. We further provide a characterization of…

We prove that a subspace of a real JBW$^*$-triple is an $M$-summand if and only if it is a weak$^*$-closed triple ideal. As a consequence, $M$-ideals of real JB$^*$-triples correspond to norm-closed triple ideals. As in the setting of…

We prove that the predual of any von Neumann algebra is $1$-Plichko, i.e., it has a countably $1$-norming Markushevich basis. This answers a question of the third author who proved the same for preduals of semifinite von Neumann algebras.…

We describe the one-dimensional \v{C}eby\v{s}\"{e}v subspaces of a JBW$^*$-triple $M,$ by showing that for a non-zero element $x$ in $M$, $\mathbb{C}x$ is a \v{C}eby\v{s}\"{e}v subspace of $M$ if, and only if, $x$ is a Brown-Pedersen…

We study two natural preorders on the set of tripotents in a JB$^*$-triple defined in terms of their Peirce decomposition and weaker than the standard partial order. We further introduce and investigate the notion of finiteness for…

The preduals of $W^*$-algebras are 1-Plichko spaces. A natural question arises: does every predual possess a projectional skeleton (PS) $\{P_s:s\in J\}$ such that each $P_s^*$ is a conditional expectation? In this note, we answer this…

In a recent paper we showed that a subspace of a real JBW*-triple is an M-summand if and only if it is a weak*-closed triple ideal. As a consequence, M-ideals of real JB*-triples, including real C*-algebras, real JB*-algebras and real TROs,…

We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple satisfies the complex Mazur--Ulam property. Thanks to the representation theory, we can identify commutative JB$^*$-triples as spaces of complex-valued continuous functions on a principal…

This paper aims to determine the predual of the Bergman space $A_\lambda^1$ on the Siegel upper half-space. To achieve this, a Bloch-type space $\widetilde{\calB}$ is introduced and studied, and some of its essential properties are…

The main goal of this paper is to introduce and explore an appropriate notion of weakly Rickart JB$^*$-triples. We introduce weakly order Rickart JB$^*$-triples, and we show that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ is a weakly (order) Rickart JB$^*$-triple…

The aim of this note is to study \v{C}eby\v{s}\"ev JB$^*$-subtriples of general JB$^*$-triples. It is established that if $F$ is a non-zero \v{C}eby\v{s}\"ev JB$^*$-subtriple of a JB$^*$-triple $E$, then exactly one of the following…

We prove that for every JBW$^*$-triple $E$ of rank $>1$, the symmetric part of its predual reduces to zero. Consequently, the predual of every infinite dimensional von Neumann algebra $A$ satisfies the linear biholomorphic property, that…

We investigate possible preduals of the measure algebra $M(G)$ of a locally compact group and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a separable compact group. Both of these algebras are canonically dual spaces and the canonical preduals make the…

We show that both separable preduals of $L_{1}$ and non-type I $C^*$-algebras are strictly extremal with respect to the minimal displacement of $k$-Lipschitz mappings acting on the unit ball of a Banach space. In particular, every separable…

We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple has numerical index one. We also revisit the notion of commutativity in JB$^*$-triples to show that a JBW$^*$-triple $M$ has numerical index one precisely when it is commutative, while…

We prove that every JBW$^*$-triple $M$ with rank one or rank bigger than or equal to three satisfies the Mazur--Ulam property, that is, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of $M$ onto the unit sphere of another Banach space $Y$…

We conjecture that whenever $M$ is a metric space of density at most continuum, then the space of Lipschitz functions is $w^*$-separable. We prove the conjecture for several classes of metric spaces including all the Banach spaces with a…

Let $M$ and $N$ be two unital JB$^*$-algebras and let $\mathcal{U} (M)$ and $\mathcal{U} (N)$ denote the sets of all unitaries in $M$ and $N$, respectively. We prove that the following statements are equivalent: $(a)$ $M$ and $N$ are…
