Abstract/Summary

Abstract. We prove that the vast majority of JC∗-triples satisfy the condition of universal reversibility. Our characterisation is that a JC∗-triple is universally reversible if and only if it has no triple homomorphisms onto Hilbert spaces of dimension greater than two nor onto spin factors of dimension greater than four. We establish corresponding characterisations in the cases of JW∗-triples and of TROs (regarded as JC∗-triples). We show that the distinct natural operator space structures on a universally reversible JC∗-triple E are in bijective correspondence with a distinguished class of ideals in its universal TRO, identify the Shilov boundaries of these operator spaces and prove that E has a unique natural operator space structure precisely when E contains no ideal isometric to a nonabelian TRO. We deduce some decomposition and completely contractive properties of triple homomorphisms on TROs.
