A Kaplansky Theorem for JB*-triples
Francisco J. Fernández-Polo, Jorge J. Garcés, Antonio M. Peralta
Abstract
Let $T:E\rightarrow F$ be a non-necessarily continuous triple homomorphism from a (complex) JB$^*$-triple (respectively, a (real) J$^*$B-triple) to a normed Jordan triple. The following statements hold: (1) $T$ has closed range whenever $T$ is continuous (2) $T$ has closed range whenever $T$ is continuous This result generalises classical theorems of I. Kaplansky and S.B. Cleveland in the setting of C$^*$-algebras and of A. Bensebah and J.Pérez, L. Rico and A. Rodr'\iguez Palacios in the setting of JB$^*$-algebras.
