Orthogonality in WBJ algebras (Q1316192)

A Bernstein-Jordan algebra is weak (WBJ) if it has a decomposition \(A= Ke\oplus S\) where \(e\) is idempotent and for every \(x\in S\): \(ex=2e(ex)\); \(x^ 2= ex^ 2+ 2(ex)x\); \(x^ 3=0\). If \(A= Ke\oplus U\oplus V\) is the Peirce decomposition of a WBJ algebra, \(A\) is orthogonal if \(U^ 3= \{0\}\), \(A\) is quasiorthogonal if \(U^ 2 (UV)= \{0\}\), and \(A\) is strongly orthogonal if \(U^ 3= \{0\}\) and \(U(UV)= \{0\}\). The authors work on the minimal dimension with respect to these three notions, and establish classification theorems.
