A bilinear form f on a nonassociative triple system T is said to be invariant if and only if f( abc ,d) = f(a, dcb ) = f(c, bad ) for all a,b,c,d ∈ T . (T ,f) is called a pseudo-metric triple system if f is non-degenerate and invariant. A decomposition theory for triple systems and pseudo-metric triple systems is established. Moreover, the ?nite-dimensional metric Lie triple systems are characterized in terms of the structure of the non-degenerate, invariant and symmetric bilinear forms on them.
