We construct Jordan algebras over a locally ringed space using generalizations of the Tits process and the first Tits construction by Achhammer. Some general results on the structure of these algebras are obtained. Examples of Albert…
Albert algebras, a specific kind of Jordan algebra, are naturally distinguished objects among commutative non-associative algebras and also arise naturally in the context of simple affine group schemes of type $F_4$, $E_6$, or $E_7$. We…
Let $F$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. The first Tits construction is a well-known tripling process to construct separable cubic Jordan algebras, especially Albert algebras. We generalize the first Tits construction by choosing…
We study exceptional Jordan algebras and related exceptional group schemes over commutative rings from a geometric point of view, using appropriate torsors to parametrize and explain classical and new constructions, and proving that over…
Freudenthal algebras over a field are basically the same as Jordan algebras of degree $3$ remaining simple under all base field extensions. These algebras are intimately linked, via their automorphism groups and structure groups, to simple…
The classical Tits construction of the exceptional simple Lie algebras has been extended in a couple of directions by using either Jordan superalgebras or composition superalgebras. These extensions are reviewed here. The outcome has been…
An axial algebra over the field $\mathbb F$ is a commutative algebra generated by idempotents whose adjoint action has multiplicity-free minimal polynomial. For semisimple associative algebras this leads to sums of copies of $\mathbb F$.…
We generalize Albert's twisted field construction, applying it to unital division algebras with a multiplicative norm. We give conditions for the resulting algebras to be division algebras.Four- and eight-dimensional real unital and…
This document presents the solutions to the exercises in the book "Albert algebras over commutative rings" published by Cambridge University Press, 2024, as well as errata and addenda. The addenda include proofs, in the style of the book,…
The classical Tits construction provides models of the exceptional simple Lie algebras in terms of a unital composition algebra and a degree three simple Jordan algebra. A couple of actions of the symmetric group of degree 4 on this…
We study a noncommutative generalization of Jordan algebras called Jordan dialgebras. These are algebras that satisfy the identities $[x_1 x_2]x_3= 0$, $(x_1^2,x_2,x_3)=2(x_1,x_2,x_1x_3)$, $x_1(x_1^2 x_2)=x_1^2(x_1 x_2)$; they are related…
A finite-dimensional unital and associative algebra over $\mathbb{R}$, or what we shall call simply "an algebra" in this paper for short, generalities the construction by which we derive the complex numbers by "adjoining an element $i$" to…
The notion of axial algebra is closely related to $3$-transposition groups, the Monster group and vertex operator algebras. In this work we continue our previous works and compete the proof that all algebras generated by a set of primitive…
Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space which are closed under the Jordan product. The discovery of the present paper is that there exists a huge and tractable theory of possibly nonselfadjoint Jordan…
We give a uniform construction of the finite simple groups $E_6(q)$, $F_4(q)$ and ${}^2E_6(q)$, which does not require any special treatment for characteristics 2 or 3, and in particular avoids any mention of quadratic Jordan algebras.…
Axial algebras of Jordan type $\eta$ are a special type of commutative non-associative algebras. They are generated by idempotents whose adjoint operators have the minimal polynomial dividing $(x-1)x(x-\eta)$, where $\eta$ is a fixed value…
We show that any order isomorphism between ordered structures of associative unital JB-subalgebras of JBW algebras is implemented naturally by a Jordan isomorphism. Consequently, JBW algebras are determined by the structure of their…
Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. The main aim of this paper is to prove the Tits-Weiss conjecture for Albert division algebras over $k$ which are pure first Tits constructions. This conjecture asserts that for an Albert division algebra $A$…
Axial algebras are commutative nonassociative algebras generated by a finite set of primitive idempotents which action on an algebra is semisimple, and the fusion laws on the products between eigenvectors for these idempotents are…
In this paper we address the celebrated Albert problem for exceptional Jordan algebras (i.e. Albert algebras): Does every Albert division algebra contain a cubic cyclic subfield? We prove that for any Albert division algebra $A$ over a…
