While Jordan algebras are commutative, their non-associativity makes it so that the Jordan product operators do not necessarily commute. When the product operators of two elements commute, the elements are said to operator commute. In some…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{B}$ be JBW$^*$-algebras whose sets of unitaries are denoted by $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ and $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{B})$, respectively. We show that $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ is closed for Jordan…

The commutation principle proved by Ram\'irez, Seeger, and Sossa (SIAM J Optim 23:687-694, 2013) in the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras says that for a Fr\'echet differentiable function $\Theta$ and a spectral function $F$, any local…

The commutation principle of Ramirez, Seeger, and Sossa \cite{ramirez-seeger-sossa} proved in the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras says that when the sum of a Fr\'{e}chet differentiable function $\Theta(x)$ and a spectral function…

The main purpose of this article is to show that every commuting Jordan derivation on triangular rings (unital or not) is identically zero. Using this result, we prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a 2-torsion free ring such that it is either…

A classical theorem of Jordan asserts that if a group $G$ acts transitively on a finite set of size at least $2$, then $G$ contains a derangement (a fixed-point free element). Generalisations of Jordan's theorem have been studied…

The commutation principle of Ramirez, Seeger, and Sossa proved in the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras says that when the sum of a real valued function $h$ and a spectral function $\Phi$ is minimized/maximized over a spectral set $E$,…

Let $\mathcal{U}=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} \mathcal{A} & \mathcal{M} \mathcal{N}& \mathcal{B} \end{array} \right]$ be a generalized matrix ring, where $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are 2-torsion free. We prove that if $\phi…

We investigate linear operators between C$^\ast$-algebras which approximately preserve involution and orthogonality, the latter meaning that for some $\varepsilon>0$ we have $\|\phi(x)\phi(y)\|\leq\varepsilon\|x\|\|y\|$ for all positive…

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…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with a^2 in A for all a in A. In two recent papers by the authors and Neal, a theory for these spaces was developed. It was shown there that much of the theory…

The Peirce decomposition of a Jordan algebra with respect to an idempotent is well known. This decomposition was taken one step further and generalized recently by Hall, Rehren and Shpectorov, withtheir introduction of {\it axial algebras},…

A theorem of Hukuhara, Levelt, and Turrittin states that every formal differential operator has a Jordan decomposition. This theorem was generalised by Babbit and Varadarajan to the case of formal $G$-connections where $G$ is a semisimple…

In this article, we give a complete characterization of the bijective maps which commute with the mean transform under Jordan product. The main result is the following : Let $H,K$ be two complex Hilbert spaces and $\Phi :B(H) \to B(K)$ be a…

Let $\phi: A\to A$ be a (not necessarily linear, additive or continuous) map of a standard operator algebra. Suppose for any $a,b\in A$ there is an algebra automorphism $\theta_{a,b}$ of $ A$ such that \begin{align*} \phi(a)\phi(b) =…

I.M. Gelfand and V.A. Ponomarev (1969) proved that the problem of classifying pairs (A,B) of commuting nilpotent operators on a vector space contains the problem of classifying an arbitrary t-tuple of linear operators. Moreover, it contains…

In this work we establish several commutation principles for optimizers of shifts of spectral functions in the context of Euclidean Jordan Algebras (EJAs). For instance, we show that under certain assumptions, if $\bar x$ is a (local)…

A commutative loop is Jordan if it satisfies the identity $x^2 (y x) = (x^2 y) x$. Using an amalgam construction and its generalizations, we prove that a nonassociative Jordan loop of order $n$ exists if and only if $n\geq 6$ and $n\neq 9$.…

We give a description of pairs of complex rational functions $A$ and $U$ of degree at least two such that for every $d\geq 1$ the algebraic curve $A^{\circ d}(x)-U(y)=0$ has a factor of genus zero or one. In particular, we show that if $A$…

We expand on an idea of Vinberg to take a tensor space and the natural Lie algebra that acts on it and embed their direct sum into an auxiliary algebra. Viewed as endomorphisms of this algebra, we associate adjoint operators to tensors. We…
