Abstract
Throughout this chapter (except in some of the exercises), A denotes a finite Baer ∗-ring with GC. For the most part, the Type I and Type II summands of A require different techniques and are treated separately. A salient feature of the exposition is that virtually all results are obtained without assuming the parallelogram law (P); it is only in the final section on modularity (Section 34) that (P) is invoked.
