Abstract

Let ee and vv be minimal tripotents in a JBW^*-triple MM. We introduce the notion of triple transition pseudo-probability from ee to vv as the complex number TTP(e,v)=φv(e),TTP(e,v)= \varphi_v(e), where φv\varphi_v is the unique extreme point of the closed unit ball of MM_* at which vv attains its norm. In the case of two minimal projections in a von Neumann algebra, this correspond to the usual transition probability. We prove that every bijective transformation Φ\Phi preserving triple transition pseudo-probabilities between the lattices of tripotents of two atomic JBW^*-triples MM and NN admits an extension to a bijective {\rm(}complex{\rm)} linear mapping between the socles of these JBW^*-triples. If we additionally assume that Φ\Phi preserves orthogonality, then Φ\Phi can be extended to a surjective (complex-)linear {\rm(}isometric{\rm)} triple isomorphism from MM onto NN. In case that MM and NN are two spin factors or two type 1 Cartan factors we show, via techniques and results on preservers, that every bijection preserving triple transition pseudo-probabilities between the lattices of tripotents of MM and NN automatically preserves orthogonality, and hence admits an extension to a triple isomorphism from MM onto NN.
