In this paper we completely describe the order isomorphisms between cones of atomic JBW-algebras. Moreover, we can write an atomic JBW-algebra as an algebraic direct summand of the so-called engaged and disengaged part. On the cone of the…
The famous Koecher-Vinberg theorem characterizes the Euclidean Jordan algebras among the finite dimensional order unit spaces as the ones that have a symmetric cone. Recently Walsh gave an alternative characterization of the Euclidean…
We prove that for a bijective, unital, linear map between absolute order unit spaces is an isometry if, and only if, it is absolute value preserving. We deduce that, on (unital) $JB$-algebras, such maps are precisely Jordan isomorphisms.…
Hilbert's and Thompson's metric spaces on the interior of cones in JB-algebras are important examples of symmetric Finsler spaces. In this paper we characterize the Hilbert's metric isometries on the interiors of cones in JBW-algebras, and…
We give an order-theoretic characterization of the essential image of the forgetful functor from the category of real/complex unital C*-algebras to the category of real/complex unital operator systems. It is based on the characterization of…
We show that any order isomorphism between ordered structures of associative unital JB-subalgebras of JBW algebras is implemented naturally by a Jordan isomorphism. Consequently, JBW algebras are determined by the structure of their…
We characterise the isomorphisms of Tits--Kantor--Koecher Lie algebras of JB*-triples as a class of surjective linear isometries and show how these algebras form a category equivalent to that of JB*-triples. We introduce the concepts of…
Order unit spaces with comparability and spectrality properties as introduced by Foulis are studied. We define continuous functional calculus for order unit spaces with the comparability property and Borel functional calculus for spectral…
A basic problem in the theory of partially ordered vector spaces is to characterise those cones on which every order-isomorphism is linear. We show that this is the case for every Archimedean cone that equals the inf-sup hull of the sum of…
In this paper a full description of order isomorphisms between effect algebras of atomic JBW-algebras is given. We will derive a closed formula for the order isomorphisms on the effect algebra of type I factors by proving that the…
An atomic decomposition is proved for Banach spaces which satisfy some affine geometric axioms compatible with notions from the quantum mechanical measuring process. This is then applied to yield, under appropriate assumptions, geometric…
Let $\Omega$ be a proper open cone in a real Banach space $V$. We show that the tube domain $V \oplus i\Omega$ over $\Omega$ is biholomorphic to a bounded symmetric domain if and only if $\Omega$ is a normal linearly homogeneous Finsler…
Every atomic JBW-algebra is known to be a direct sum of JBW-algebra factors of type I. Extending Kadison's anti-lattice theorem, we show that each of these factors is a disjointness free anti-lattice. We characterise disjointness, bands,…
We show that finite-dimensional order unit spaces equipped with a continuous sequential product as defined by Gudder and Greechie are homogeneous and self-dual. As a consequence of the Koecher-Vinberg theorem these spaces therefore…
In this note we collect some significant contributions on metric invariants for complex Banach algebras and Jordan--Banach algebras established during the last fifteen years. This note is mainly expository, but it also contains complete…
We characterise the positive cone of a real C*-algebra geometrically. Given an open cone $\Omega$ in a real Banach space $V$, with closure $\overline \Omega$, we show that $\Omega$ is the interior of the positive cone of a unital real…
A two-dimensional superintegrable system of singular oscillators with internal degrees of freedom is identified and exactly solved. Its symmetry algebra is seen to be the dual $-1$ Hahn algebra which describes the bispectral properties of…
In this paper we study the completely bounded anti-isomorphisms on operator algebras, that work similarly to the involutions with the exception for the property of being completely isometric. We elaborate the Blecher's characterization…
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…
