Extract

A JB-algebra A is a real Jordan algebra, which is also a Banach space, the norm in which satisfies the conditions that

and

for all elements a and b in A. It follows from (1.1) and (l.2) that

for all elements a and b in A. When the JB-algebra A possesses an identity element then A is said to be a unital JB-algebra and (1.2) is equivalent to the condition that

for all elements a and b in A. For the general theory of JB-algebras the reader is referred to (2), (3), (7) and (10).
