contents We endow the Banach-Lie structure group $Str(V)$ of an infinite dimensional JB-algebra $V$ with a left-invariant connection and Finsler metric, and we compute all the quantities of its connection. We show how this connection reduces to $G(Ω)$, the group of transformations that preserve the positive cone $Ω$ of the algebra $V$, and to $Aut(V)$, the group of Jordan automorphisms of the algebra. We present the cone $Ω$ as an homogeneous space for the action of $G(Ω)$, therefore inducing a quotient Finsler metric and distance. With the techniques introduced, we prove the minimality of the one-parameter groups in $Ω$ for any symmetric gauge norm in $V$. We establish that the two presentations of the Finsler metric in $Ω$ give the same distance there, which helps us prove the minimality of certain paths in $G(Ω)$ for its left-invariant Finsler metric.
