Normal contractive projections preserve type
Given a JBW*-triple Z and a normal contractive projection P on Z, we show that the (Murray-von Neumann) type of each summand of P(Z) is dominated by the type of Z.

We prove that an operator space is completely isometric to a ternary ring of operators if and only if the open unit balls of all of its matrix spaces are bounded symmetric domains. From this we obtain an operator space characterization of C*-algebras.
