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…

Let $\mathcal{G}=[A & M N & B]$ be a generalized matrix algebra defined by the Morita context $(A, B,_AM_B,_BN_A, \Phi_{MN}, \Psi_{NM})$. In this article we mainly study the question of whether there exist proper Jordan derivations for the…

Suppose $f$ and $g$ are two post-critically finite polynomials of degree $d_1$ and $d_2$ respectively and suppose both of them have a finite super-attracting fixed point of degree $d_0$. We prove that one can always construct a rational map…

We present a construction of a Jordan scheme from an elementary abelian $2$-group of rank $n$ and a $\{1,-1\}$-matrix of order $2^n$ that satisfies a specified condition. We then prove that the orders of matrices with the specified…

Free extensions of commutative Artinian algebras were introduced by T. Harima and J. Watanabe. The Jordan type of a multiplication map $m$ by a nilpotent element of an Artinian algebra is the partition determining the sizes of the blocks in…

Let $W$ be a quasiprojective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Assume that $W$ is birational to a product of a smooth projective variety $A$ and the projective line. We prove that if $A$ contains no rational…

We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…

Let $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of the preordered set $X$ over the ring $R$. In the case of a finite connected partially ordered set $X$, we prove that the subgroup of inner multiplicative automorphisms is a direct factor of the group…

Let $X_1$ and $X_2$ be complex Banach spaces with dimension at least three, $\mathcal{A}_1$ and $\mathcal{A}_2$ be standard operator algebras on $X_1$ and $X_2$, respectively. For $k\geq2$, let $(i_1,...,i_m)$ be a sequence with terms…

Let $m,n\ge 2$ be integers. Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $\|\cdot\|_{(p,k)}$ be the $(p,k)$ norm on $M_{mn}$ with $1\leq k\leq mn$ and $2<p<\infty$. We show that a linear map $\phi:M_{mn}\rightarrow M_{mn}$…

We elucidate the geometry of matrix models based on simple formally real Jordan algebras. Such Jordan algebras give rise to a nonassociative geometry that is a generalization of Lorentzian geometry. We emphasize constructions for the…

Let A and A' be two alternative *-algebras with identities 1_A and 1_A', respectively, and e_1 and e_2 = 1_A - e_1 nontrivial symmetric idempotents in A. In this paper we study the characterization of multiplicative *-Jordan-type maps on…

We describe the complete set of pairwise non-isomorphic irreducible modules S(a) over the algebra R given by the defining relation xy-yx=yy, and the rule how they could be glued to indecomposables. Namely, we show that Ext_k^1(S(a),S(b))=0,…

We introduce the Jordan-strict topology on the multipliers algebra of a JB$^*$-algebra, a notion which was missing despite the fourty years passed after the first studies on Jordan multipliers. In case that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ is regarded…

An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…

Given a Jordan algebra $A$ and a vector space $V$, we describe and classify all Jordan algebras containing $A$ as a subalgebra of codimension ${\rm dim}_k (V)$ in terms of a non-abelian cohomological type object ${\mathcal J}_{A} \, (V, \,…

The Jacobian Conjecture would follow if it were known that real polynomial maps with a unipotent Jacobian matrix are injective. The conjecture that this is true even for $C^1$ maps is explored here. Some results known in the polynomial case…

Let $\phi:M_n\to B(H)$ be an injective, completely positive contraction with $\V\phi^{-1}:\phi(M_n)\to M_n\V_{cb}\leq1+\delta(\epsilon).$ We show that if either (i) $\phi(M_n)$ is faithful modulo the compact operators or (ii) $\phi(M_n)$…
