Determining the Jordan canonical form of the tensor product of Jordan blocks has many applications including to the representation theory of algebraic groups, and to tilting modules. Although there are several algorithms for computing this…

Jordan algebras arise naturally in (quantum) information geometry, and we want to understand their role and their structure within that framework. Inspired by Kirillov's discussion of the symplectic structure on coadjoint orbits, we provide…

The orbit decomposition is given under the automorphism group on the real split Jordan algebra of all hermitian matrices of order three corresponding to any real split composition algebra, or the automorphism group on the complexification,…

Over a field of characteristic $0$ we give a concrete, computation--ready description of Jordan algebra structures and their low--order deformation theory. The Jordan identity is quartic in the elements and cubic in the multiplication, and…

In this paper, we connect two well established theories, the Fibonacci numbers and the Jordan algebras. We give a series of matrices, from literature, used to obtain recurrence relations of second-order and polynomial sequences. We also…

We study the quantum degeneracies of BPS black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions that is defined by the exceptional Jordan algebra. We define the quantum degeneracy purely number theoretically as the number of…

An algebra A not encountered in either the usual algebraic varieties or supervarieties is introduced. A is a graded and deformed version of the quaternions, with structure similar to that of a Jordan-Lie superalgebra as defined by Okubo and…

We fill in the "hole" in the exceptional series of Lie algebras that was observed by Cvitanovic, Deligne, Cohen and deMan. More precisely, we show that the intermediate Lie algebra between $E_7$ and $E_8$ satisfies some of the decomposition…

Quantum bits can be isolated to perform useful information-theoretic tasks, even though physical systems are fundamentally described by very high-dimensional operator algebras. This is because qubits can be consistently embedded into…

Here we demonstrate the emergence of Grassmann variables in matrix models based on the exceptional Jordan algebra. The Grassmann algebras are built naturally using the octonion algebra. We argue the appearance of Grassmann variables…

The review of modern study of algebraic, geometric and differential properties of quaternionic (Q) numbers with their applications. Traditional and "tensor" formulation of Q-units with their possible representations are discussed and groups…

Let $\lambda$ be a partition of an integer $n$ and ${\mathbb F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. Let $P_\lambda(q)$ be the number of strictly upper triangular $n\times n$ matrices of the Jordan type $\lambda$. It is known that the…

Semispecial quasi-Jordan algebras (also called Jordan dialgebras) are defined by the polynomial identities $a(bc) = a(cb)$, $(ba)a^2 = (ba^2)a$, and $(b,a^2,c) = 2(b,a,c)a$. These identities are satisfied by the product $ab = a \dashv b + b…

On the set H_n(K) of symmetric n by n matrices over the field K we can define various binary and ternary products which endow it with the structure of a Jordan algebra or a Lie or Jordan triple system. All these non-associative structures…

Quadratic Jordan algebras are defined by identities that have to hold strictly, i.e that continue to hold in every scalar extension. In this paper we show that strictness is not required for quadratic Jordan division algebras.

It is known that black hole charge vectors of N=8 and magic N=2 supergravity in four and five dimensions can be represented as elements of Jordan algebras of degree three over the octonions and split-octonions and their Freudenthal triple…

It is demonstrated how a set of particle representations, familiar from the Standard Model, collectively form a superalgebra. Those representations mirroring the internal behaviour of the Standard Model's gauge bosons, and three generations…

We compute minimal sets of generators for the S_n-modules (n <= 4) of multilinear polynomial identities of arity n satisfied by the Jordan product and the Jordan diproduct (resp. pre-Jordan product) in every triassociative (resp.…

Let $J_r$ denote a full $r \times r$ Jordan block matrix with eigenvalue $1$ over a field $F$ of characteristic $p$. For positive integers $r$ and $s$ with $r \leq s$, the Jordan canonical form of the $r s \times r s$ matrix $J_{r} \otimes…

There must exist a reformulation of quantum field theory, even at low energies, which does not depend on classical time. The octonionic theory proposes such a reformulation, leading to a pre-quantum pre-spacetime theory. The ingredients for…
