Let \({\mathcal A}\) be a von Neumann algebra acting on a complex infinite-dimensional Hilbert space \(H\). Let \(J\in{\mathcal A}\) be a selfadjoint unitary operator. Given \(x\in{\mathcal A}\), the operator \(Jx^*J\) is called \(J\)-adjoint. If \(x,y\in{\mathcal A}\) satisfy \([x\xi,\xi]\leq [y\xi,\xi]\) for all \(\xi\in H\), where \([\xi,\eta]: (J\xi,\eta)\), \(\xi,\eta\in H\), then we write \(x\leq_Jy\). A \(J\)-selfadjoint operator \(x\in{\mathcal A}\) is called \(J\)-effect, if and only if \(0\leq_J x\leq_J J\). This paper is concerned with the description of finitely additive, signed measures on the set of all \(J\)-effects and on the set of all \(J\)-selfadjoint idempotents in \({\mathcal A}\). The results are somewhat similar to the Gleason theorem. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0943.00054].
