Abstract

We prove that if A is a prime non-commutative JB*-algebra which is neither quadratic nor commutative, then there exist a prime C*-algebra B and a real number λ with ½ < λ [les ] 1 such that A = B as involutive Banach spaces, and the product of A is related to that of B (denoted by ∘, say) by means of the equality xy = λxy + (1 − λ)yx.
