On continuous Peirce decompositions, Schur multipliers and the perturbation of triple functional calculus

Every odd continuous function f on the real line induces by a functional calculus on every JB*-triple E (= hermitian Banach Jordan triple system) a continuous map fE  from E into itself. The vector map fE  may not be differentiable even if the scalar function f has continuous derivatives. We introduce for every element a in E a Peirce spectrum (= a certain compact subset of the real plane) and show for a big class of scalar functions f that the derivative of fE  in a exists and is a Schur multiplier with respect to this spectrum.
