Extremally rich JB^*-triples

Abstract: We introduce and study the class of extremally rich JB-triples. We establish new results to determine the distance from an element a in an extremally rich JB-triple E to the set partiale(E1) of all extreme points of the closed unit ball of E. More concretely, we prove that hbox{dist} (a,partial_e (E_1)) =max { 1, |a|-1}, for every ainE which is not Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible. As a consequence, we determine the form of the lambda-function of Aron and Lohman on the open unit ball of an extremally rich JB-triple E, by showing that lambda(a)=frac12 for every non-BP quasi-invertible element a in the open unit ball of E. We also prove that for an extremally rich JB-triple E, the quadratic connorm gammaq(.) is continuous at a point ainE if, and only if, either a is not von Neumann regular { m(}i.e. gammaq(a)=0{ m)} or a is Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible.
