Abstract: The famous Koecher-Vinberg theorem characterizes the Euclidean Jordan algebras among the finite dimensional order unit spaces as the ones that have a symmetric cone. Recently Walsh gave an alternative characterization of the Euclidean Jordan algebras. He showed that the Euclidean Jordan algebras correspond to the finite dimensional order unit spaces $(V,C,u)$ for which there exists a bijective map $gcolon{C}^{c}irco{C}^{c}irc$ with the property that $g$ is antihomogeneous, i.e., $g(lambdax)=lambd{a}^{-1}g(x)$ for all $lambda>0$ and $xin{C}^{c}irc$, and $g$ is an order-antimorphism, i.e., $xle{q}_{C}y$ if and only if $g(y)le{q}_{C}g(x)$. In this paper we make a first step towards extending this order theoretic characterization to infinite dimensional JB-algebras. We show that if $(V,C,u)$ is a complete order unit space with a strictly convex cone and $dimVgeq3$, then there exists a bijective antihomogeneous order-antimorphism $gcolon{C}^{c}irco{C}^{c}irc$ if and only if $(V,C,u)$ is a spin factor.
