Abstract: A self-adjoint element in a finite AW*-factor is spectrally symmetric, if its spectral measure under the quasitrace is invariant under the change of variables $tlongmapsto-t$. We show that if $mathcalA$ is an AW*-factor of type II_1, a self-djoint element in $mathcalA$, without full support, has quasitrace zero, if and only if it can be written as a sum of at most three commuting spectrally symmetric elements.
