The extended Freudenthal magic square and Jordan algebras (Q2385059)

In a previous paper [Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 20, No. 2, 475--491 (2004; Zbl 1106.17011)] \textit{A. Elduque} has shown that everyone of the elements of the Freudenthal magic square can be obtained from two symmetric composition algebras. This construction has the advantage over the more classical Tits construction of being valid too in characteristic 3, although in this characteristic the obtained Lie algebras are not simple or semisimple in some exceptional cases. Nevertheless, they are always closely related to simple Lie algebras. Another special feature of the characteristic 3 is that only in this characteristic nontrivial composition superalgebras appear in the unitary and symmetric cases [\textit{A. Elduque} and \textit{S. Okubo}, Commun. Algebra 30, No. 11, 5447--5471 (2002; Zbl 1015.17002)]. So, in addition to the symmetric composition algebras over the given field, there exist two symmetric composition superalgebras in characteristic 3, which have dimension 3 and 6. This suggest an extension of the Freudenthal magic square by two new rows and columns taking as ingredients two symmetric composition superalgebras in place of the symmetric composition algebras. This was done by the authors in a previous paper [\textit{I. Cunha} and \textit{A. Elduque}, J. Algebra 317, No. 2, 471--509 (2007; Zbl 1172.17010)]. Now the elements in the Freudenthal magic supersquare are Lie superalgebras. The paper under review is devoted to prove that the Lie superalgebras obtained from a three-dimensional symmetric composition superalgebra and a symmetric composition algebra are among the Lie superalgebras defined by simple orthogonal triple systems, while those constructed from a six dimensional symmetric composition superalgebra and a symmetric composition algebra are among those defined by simple symplectic triple systems. Furthermore, some hints are given on the simple Lie superalgebras coming from two nontrivial symmetric superalgebras.
