In this second paper by these authors on this topic, Zelmanov's classification of real prime Jordan triples is again applied to real and complex \(\text{JB}^*\)-triples. Their results refine those of their earlier paper and, in addition, connect their classification of \(\text{JBW}^*\)-factors with the more familiar classification of \textit{G. Horn} and \textit{E. Neher} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 306, 553--578 (1988; Zbl 0659.46063)]. In particular they show that a \(\text{JBW}^*\)-factor \(A\) lies in one of the following sets: the set of exceptional Cartan factors; the set of spin factors; the set of subtriples of \(\text{W}^*\)-factors \(B\) of the form \(eB(1- e)\), where \(e\) is a projection in \(B\); the set of \(\text{JBW}^*\)-factors of the form \(H(eB\alpha(e), \alpha)\), where \(B\) is a \(\text{W}^*\)-factor, \(\alpha\) is a *-anti-automorphism of \(B\) of order two, \(e\) is a projection in \(B\) such that \(\alpha(e)\) coincides with \(1- e\), and \(H(eB\alpha(e), \alpha)\) is the family of elements of \(eB\alpha(e)\) invariant under \(\alpha\). The real situation is slightly more complicated but essentially the same. The authors require some subtle techniques in order to show that the last two sets above coincide up to isomorphism with those given by Horn and Neher (loc. cit.).
