Abstract

We prove a Kadec-Pelczyński dichotomy-type theorem for bounded sequences in the predual of a JBW*-algebra, showing that for each bounded sequence (ϕ n ) in the predual of a JBW*-algebra M, there exist a subsequence (ϕ τ(n), and a sequence of mutually orthogonal projections (p n ) in M such that:

  1. (a)

    the set \(\{ {\phi _{\tau (n)}} - {\phi _{\tau (n)}}{P_2}({p_n}):n \in {\Bbb N}\} \) is relatively weakly compact

  2. (b)

    ϕ τ(n) = ξ n + ψ n , with ξ n := ϕ τ(n)ϕ τ(n) P 2(p n ), and ψ n := ϕ τ(n) P 2(p n ), (ξ n Q(p n ) = 0 and ψ n Q(p n )2 = ψ n ) for every n.
