Title: Q-measures on the dual unit ball of a JB*-triple

Abstract: Let A be a JB^*-triple with Banach dual space A^* and bidual the JBW^*-triple A^{**}. Elements x of A^* of norm one may be regarded as normalised `Q-measures' defined on the complete ortho-lattice \tilde{\mathcal U}(A^{**}) of tripotents in A^{**}.

In this talk, we present recent results regarding the supports of Q-measures and analyse their implications in a classical case, that of the space of continuous complex functions on a compact Hausdorff space.


This is joint work with C.M. Edwards (The Queen's College, Oxford).
