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 e −1 ≤ n(M ) ≤ 2 −1 otherwise. Consequently, a JB * -triple E is commutative if and only if n(E * ) = 1 (equivalently, n(E * * ) = 1). In the general setting we prove that the numerical index of each JB * -triple E admitting a non-commutative element also satisfies e −1 ≤ n(M ) ≤ 2 −1 , and the same holds when the bidual of E contains a Cartan factor of rank ≥ 2 in its atomic part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
