Zero triple product determined matrix algebras. (Q411132)

Summary: Let \(A\) be an algebra over a commutative unital ring \(\mathcal C\). We say that \(A\) is zero triple product determined if for every \(\mathcal C\)-module \(X\) and every trilinear map \(\{\cdot,\cdot,\cdot\}\), the following holds: if \(\{x,y,z\}=0\) whenever \(xyz=0\), then there exists a \(\mathcal C\)-linear operator \(T\colon A^3\to X\) such that \(\{x,y,z\}=T(xyz)\) for all \(x,y,z\in A\). If the ordinary triple product in the aforementioned definition is replaced by Jordan triple product, then \(A\) is called zero Jordan triple product determined. This paper mainly shows that matrix algebra \(M_n(B)\), \(n\geq 3\), where \(B\) is any commutative unital algebra even different from the above mentioned commutative unital algebra \(\mathcal C\), is always zero triple product determined, and \(M_n(F)\), \(n\geq 3\), where \(F\) is any field with \(\text{ch\,}F\neq 2\), is also zero Jordan triple product determined.
