Abstract

The simple 7-dimensional Malcev algebra MM is isomorphic to the irreducible sl(2,C)\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})-module V(6) with binary product [x,y]=α(xy)[x,y] = \alpha(x \wedge y) defined by the sl(2,C)\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})-module morphism α ⁣:Λ2V(6)V(6)\alpha\colon \Lambda^2 V(6) \to V(6). Combining this with the ternary product (x,y,z)=β(xy)z(x,y,z) = \beta(x \wedge y) \cdot z defined by the sl(2,C)\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})-module morphism β ⁣:Λ2V(6)V(2)\s\beta\colon \Lambda^2 V(6) \to V(2) \approx \s gives MM the structure of a generalized Lie triple system, or Lie-Yamaguti algebra. We use computer algebra to determine the polynomial identities of low degree satisfied by this binary-ternary structure.
