If V is a simple complex euclidean Jordan algebra and G the subgroup of GL(V) fixing the determinant of V, we give a unified description of the invariant algebras C[pV]^G, for p not greater than three.

Let $\phi$ be a positive unital normal map of a von Neumann algebra $M$ into itself, and assume there is a family of normal $\phi$-invariant states which is faithful on the von Neumann algebra generated by the image of $\phi$. It is shown…

We characterise all Jordan triple product homomorphisms, that is, mappings $\Phi$ satisfying $$ \Phi(ABA) = \Phi(A)\Phi(B)\Phi(A) $$ on the set of all Hermitian $2 \times 2$ complex matrices.

We prove that the group of birational automorphisms of a geometrically irreducible algebraic surface over a finite field is Jordan. We show that the analogous statement fails in higher dimensions. Finally, we prove that groups of birational…

A tripotent of a generalized triple system of second order defines a decomposition of the space of the space which consist of 10 components. It gives a generalization of the Peirce decomposition n for the Jordan triple system which consists…

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…

We call a group $G$ nilpotently Jordan of class at most $c$ $(c\in\mathbb{N})$ if there exists a constant $J\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ such that every finite subgroup $H\leqq G$ contains a nilpotent subgroup $K\leqq H$ of class at most $c$ and index…

In 1934, Jordan et al. gave a necessary algebraic condition, the Jordan identity, for a sensible theory of quantum mechanics. All but one of the algebras that satisfy this condition can be described by Hermitian matrices over the complexes…

A representation of the exceptional Lie algebras is presented. It reflects a simple unifying view and it is realized in terms of Zorn-type matrices. The role of the underlying Jordan pair and Jordan algebra content is crucial in the…

For von Neumann algebras M, N not isomorphic to C^2 and without type I_2 summands, we show that for an order-isomorphism f:AbSub(M)->AbSub(N) between the posets of abelian von Neumann subalgebras of M and N, there is a unique Jordan…

Let C be a commutative ring with unity. In this article, we show that every Jordan derivation over an upper triangular matrix algebra T_n(C) is an inner derivation. Further, we extend the result for Jordan derivation on full matrix algebra…

We announce here a number of results concerning representation theory of the algebra $R=k<x,y>/ (xy-yx-y^2)$, known as Jordan plane (or Jordan algebra). We consider the question on 'classification' of finite-dimensional modules over the…

The Jacobson Coordinatization Theorem describes the structure of unitary Jordan algebras containing the algebra $H_n(F)$ of symmetric nxn matrices over a field F with the same identity element, for $n\geq 3$. In this paper we extend the…

We show that the $\imath$Hall algebra of the Jordan quiver is a polynomial ring in infinitely many generators and obtain transition relations among several generating sets. We establish a ring isomorphism from this $\imath$Hall algebra to…

We study Jordan types of linear forms for graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras having arbitrary codimension. We introduce rank matrices of linear forms for such algebras that represent the ranks of multiplication maps in various degrees. We…

A $G$-grading on an algebra is called multiplicity free if each homogeneous component of the grading is 1-dimensional, where $G$ is an abelian group. We introduce skew root systems of Lie type and skew root systems of Jordan type…

We describe all degenerations of the variety $\mathfrak{Jord}_3$ of Jordan algebras of dimension three over $\mathbb{C}.$ In particular, we describe all irreducible components in $\mathfrak{Jord}_3.$ For every $n$ we define an…

We show that if $M$ is a compact smooth manifold diffeomorphic to the total space of an orientable $S^2$ bundle over the torus $T^2$, then its diffeomorphism group does not have the Jordan property, i.e., Diff$(M)$ contains a finite…

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…

In the article we study the simple unital communitative three-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2. It is proved that every simple unital communitative three-dimensional algebra of…
