Abstract

The Jacobson Coordinatization Theorem describes the structure of unitary Jordan algebras containing the algebra Hn(F)H_n(F) of symmetric nxn matrices over a field F with the same identity element, for n3n\geq 3. In this paper we extend the Jacobson Coordinatization Theorem for n=2. Specifically, we prove that if J is a unitary Jordan algebra containing the Jordan matrix algebra H2(F)H_2(F) with the same identity element, then J has a form J=H2(F)A0+kA1J=H_2(F)\otimes A_0+k\otimes A_1, where A=A0+A1A=A_0+A_1 is a Z2Z_2-graded Jordan algebra with a partial odd Leibniz bracket {,} an k=e12e21M2(F)k=e_{12}-e_{21}\in M_2(F) with the multiplication given by (ab)(cd)=acbd+[a,c]{b,d},(a\otimes b)(c\otimes d)=ac\otimes bd + [a,c]\otimes \{b,d\}, the commutator [a,c] is taken in M2(F)M_2(F).
