contents Let $\mathcal{P} (\mathfrak{J})$ denote the lattice of projections of a JBW$^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{J}$, and let $X$ be a Banach space. A bounded finitely additive $X$-valued measure on $\mathcal{P}(\mathfrak{J})$ is a mapping $μ: \mathcal{P}(\mathfrak{J}) \rightarrow X$ satisfying: $(a)$ $μ(p +q) = μ(p) + μ(q)$, whenever $p \circ q = 0$ in $\mathcal{P} (\mathfrak{J})$, $(b)$ $\sup \{ \| μ(p)\| \, : \, p \in \mathcal{P} (\mathfrak{J})\} < \infty$. In this paper we establish a Mackey-Gleason-Bunce-Wright theorem by showing that if $\mathfrak{J}$ contains no type $I_2$ direct summand, every bounded finitely additive measure $μ: \mathcal{P}(\mathfrak{J}) \rightarrow X$ admits an extension to a bounded linear operator from $\mathfrak{J}$ to $X$. This solves a long-standing open conjecture.

Let $\mathcal{P} (\mathfrak{J})$ denote the lattice of projections of a JBW$^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{J}$, and let $X$ be a Banach space. A bounded finitely additive $X$-valued measure on $\mathcal{P}(\mathfrak{J})$ is a mapping $μ: \mathcal{P}(\mathfrak{J}) \rightarrow X$ satisfying: $(a)$ $μ(p +q) = μ(p) + μ(q)$, whenever $p \circ q = 0$ in $\mathcal{P} (\mathfrak{J})$, $(b)$ $\sup \{ \| μ(p)\| \, : \, p \in \mathcal{P} (\mathfrak{J})\} < \infty$. In this paper we establish a Mackey-Gleason-Bunce-Wright theorem by showing that if $\mathfrak{J}$ contains no type $I_2$ direct summand, every bounded finitely additive measure $μ: \mathcal{P}(\mathfrak{J}) \rightarrow X$ admits an extension to a bounded linear operator from $\mathfrak{J}$ to $X$. This solves a long-standing open conjecture.
