Dubois, Jacques; Hadjou, Brahim On the Lebesgue decomposition of the normal states of a JBW-algebra. (English) Zbl 0762.46061 Math. Bohem. 117, No. 2, 185-193 (1992). Summary: A theorem is proved asserting that any linear functional defined on a JBW-algebra admits a Lebesgue decomposition with respect to any normal state defined on the algebra. Then we show that the positivity (and the unicity) of this decomposition is insured for the trace states defined on the algebra. In fact, this property can be used to give a new characterization of the trace states amongst all the normal states.
