Abstract

We study Lie brackets and Jordan products derived from associative operations ,\circ, \bullet satisfying the interchange identity (wx)(yz)(wy)(xz)(w \bullet x ) \circ ( y \bullet z ) \equiv (w \circ y ) \bullet ( x \circ z ). We use computational linear algebra, based on the representation theory of the symmetric group, to determine all polynomial identities of degree 7\le 7 relating (i) the two Lie brackets, (ii) one Lie bracket and one Jordan product, and (iii) the two Jordan products. For the Lie-Lie case, there are two new identities in degree 6 and another two in degree 7. For the Lie-Jordan case, there are no new identities in degree 6\le 6 and a complex set of new identities in degree 7. For the Jordan-Jordan case, there is one new identity in degree 4, two in degree 5, and complex sets of new identities in degrees 6 and 7.
