Abstract
We prove that every biorthogonality preserving linear surjection from a weakly compact $JB^*$-triple containing no infinite-dimensional rank-one summands onto another $JB^*$-triple is automatically continuous. We also show that every biorthogonality preserving linear surjection between atomic $JBW^*$-triples containing no infinite-dimensional rank-one summands is automatically continuous. Consequently, two atomic $JBW^*$-triples containing no rank-one summands are isomorphic if and only if there exists a (not necessarily continuous) biorthogonality preserving linear surjection between them.
