Classical and quantum dynamics of noncanonically coupled oscillators, and Lie superalgebras (Q1267435)

The author presents a new ternary algebra arising in physics. Linear spaces \(V_1,\) \(V_2\) over a field of characteristic \(\neq 2\) are isotopic if there exist linear maps \[ m_1:V_2\otimes (V_1\wedge V_1)\to V_1,\quad m_2:V_1\otimes (V_2\wedge V_2)\to V_2 \] such that if \(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2\), then \[ \begin{aligned} & 2m_i(m_j(z,a,b),x,y)=m_i(b,m_i(a,x,z),y)+ m_i(b,m_i(a,x,y),z)+\\ & m_i(b,m_i(a,z,y),x)- m_i(a,m_i(b,x,z),y)-m_i(a,m_i(b,x,y),z)-\\ & m_i(a,m_i(b,z,y),x). \end{aligned} \] An isotopic pair of spaces \(V_1,V_2\) is an anti-Jordan pair if the maps \(m_1,m_2\) satisfy the identity \[ \begin{aligned} & m_i(m_j(z,a,b),x,y)=m_i(b,m_i(a,x,z),y)+ \\ & m_i(b,m_i(a,z,y),x)-m_i(a,m_i(b,x,y),z). \end{aligned} \] A ternary algebra \((V,[xyz])\) is an anti-Lie triple system if \[ [xyz] - [xzy] = [xyz] + [yzx] + [zxy] = [[xyz]uv] - [[xuv]yz] - [x[yuv]z] - [xy[zuv]] = 0. \] The author introduces the notion of a representation of these algebras. Although the paper does not contain new results, it is interesting for mathematicians because of some examples of the mentioned systems related to noncanonically coupled oscillators (classical and quantum dynamics) and Lie superalgebras. The author introduces the notion of representations of these algebras. Despite the fact that the paper does not contain new results it is well worth reading.
