Let υ be a C*-algebra, α a *-anti-automorphism of order 2, and υα(±1) = {A; A ∈ υ, α(A) = ± A} the spectral subspaces of α. It follows that υα(+ 1) is a Jordan algebra and υα(− 1) is a Lie algebra. We begin the classification of pairs of Jordan and Lie algebras which can occur in this manner by examining υ = ℒ(ℋ), the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space ℋ.
