WEAK BANACH-SAKS PROPERTY AND KOMLÓS' THEOREM FOR PREDUALS OF JBW*-TRIPLES.

We show that the predual of a JBW*-triple has the weak Banach- Saks property, that is, reflexive subspaces of a JBW*-triple predual are superreflexive. We also prove that JBW*-triple preduals satisfy the Koml'os property (which can be considered an abstract version of the weak law of large numbers). The results rely on two previous papers from which we infer the fact that, like in the classical case of L¹, a subspace of a JBW*-triple predual contains 1 as soon as it contains uniform copies of ℓ1n.
