Isotopy and invariants of Albert algebras

Let k be a field with characteristic different from 2 and 3. Let B be a central simple algebra of degree 3 over a quadratic extension K/k, which admits involutions of second kind. In this paper, we prove that if the Albert algebras and have same and invariants, then they are isotopic. We prove that for a given Albert algebra J, there exists an Albert algebra J' with , and . We conclude with a construction of Albert division algebras, which are pure second Tits' constructions. Received: December 9, 1997.     

Albert algebras over curves of genus zero and one

Albert algebras and other Jordan algebras are constructed over curves of genus zero and one, using a generalization of the Tits process and the first Tits construction due to Achhammer.     

Jordan zero-product preserving additive maps on operator algebras

Let Φ:A→B be an additive surjective map between some operator algebras such that AB+BA=0 implies Φ(A)Φ(B)+Φ(B)Φ(A)=0. We show that, under some mild conditions, Φ is a Jordan homomorphism multiplied by a central element. Such operator algebras include von Neumann algebras, C^∗-algebras and standard operator algebras, etc. Particularly, if H and K are infinite-dimensional (real or complex) Hilbert spaces and A=B(H) and B=B(K), then there exists a nonzero scalar c and an invertible linear or conjugate-linear operator U:H→K such that either Φ(A)=cUAU⁻¹ for all A∈B(H), or Φ(A)=cUA^∗U⁻¹ for all A∈B(H).     

Construction of high-rank elliptic curves with a nontrivial torsion point

We construct a family of infinitely many elliptic curves over with a nontrivial rational 2-torsion point and with rank 6, which is parametrized by the rational points of an elliptic curve of rank 1.

     

On Composition series relative to a module

ABSTRACT

A commutative algebra with the identity (a * b) * (c * d) ? (a * d) * (c * b) = (a, b, c) * d ? (a, d, c) * b is called Novikov–Jordan. Example: K[x] under multiplication a * b = ?(ab) is Novikov–Jordan. A special identity for Novikov–Jordan algebras of degree 5 is constructed. Free Novikov–Jordan algebras with q generators are exceptional for any q ≥ 1.

     

套代数上高阶导子的刻画

设N是Banach空间X上的套,AlgN是相应的套代数。本文证明了,若套N中存在一个非平凡元在X中可补,那么AlgN上的每个可加Jordan高阶导子和每个可加三重Jordan高阶导子都是高阶导子。     

Multiplicative Semiprimeness of Skew Lie Algebras

Abstract

Let A be a semiprime associative algebra with an involution over a field of characteristic not 2, let K be the Lie algebra of all skew elements of A, and let Z _{[K, K]} denote the annihilator of the Lie algebra [K, K]. We will prove that the multiplication algebra of the semiprime Lie algebra [K, K]/Z _{[K, K]} is also semiprime. As a consequence, the multiplication algebra of [K, K]/Z _{[K, K]} is prime, whenever [K, K]/Z _{[K, K]} is prime. We will obtain similar results for the Lie algebra K/Z _K whenever the base field has characteristic zero.     

The classification of N-dimensional non-associative Jordan algebras with (N − 3)-dimensional annihilator

The paper is devoted to give a complete classification of all n-dimensional non-associative Jordan algebras with (n?3)-dimensional annihilator over an algebraically closed field of characteristic ≠2. We also give a complete classification of all n-dimensional Jordan algebras with (n?1)- and (n?2)-dimensional annihilator.
