Abstract:

We show that the range of a norm one projection on a commutative ${C^\ast }$-algebra has a ternary product structure (Theorem 2). We describe and characterize all such projections in terms of extreme points in the unit ball of the image of the dual (Theorem 1). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the range to be isometric to a ${C^\ast }$-algebra (Theorem 4) and we show that the range is a ${C_\sigma }$-space (Theorem 5).
