Abstract
Let denote the lattice of projections of a JBW-algebra , and let be a Banach space. A bounded finitely additive -valued measure on is a mapping satisfying: , whenever in , . In this paper we establish a Mackey-Gleason-Bunce-Wright theorem by showing that if contains no type direct summand, every bounded finitely additive measure admits an extension to a bounded linear operator from to . This solves a long-standing open conjecture.
