Noncommutative Jordan superalgebras of degree \(n \geq 2\) (Q606549)

In the paper under review the authors announce results on noncommutative Jordan superalgebras whose proofs can be found in the authors' article [''Noncommutative Jordan superalgebras of degree \(n>2\).'' Algebra Logic 49, No. 1, 18--42 (2010); translation from Algebra Logika 49, No. 1, 26--59 (2010; Zbl 1195.17025)]. Noncommutative Jordan superalgebras generalize the notion of Jordan superalgebras. The finite-dimensional simple Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 was considered by \textit{V. Kac} [Commun. Algebra 5, 1375--1400 (1977; Zbl 0367.17007)] and \textit{I. L. Kantor} [ Transl., Ser. 2, Am. Math. Soc. 151, 55-80 (1989; Zbl 0803.17012)]. The study of Jordan superalgebras of positive characteristic was initiated by I. ~Kaplansky. The modular simple Jordan superalgebras with non-semisimple even part were classified by \textit{C. Martínez} and \textit{E. Zelmanov} [J. Algebra 236, No. 2, 575--629 (2001; Zbl 0988.17024)]. The remaining case of simple Jordan superalgebras with semisimple even part was considered by \textit{M. Racine} and \textit{E. I. Zel'manov} [J. Algebra 270, No. 2, 374--444 (2003; Zbl 1036.17026)]. A noncommutative Jordan superalgebra \(U\) is said to have degree \(n\) if \(n\) is the maximum number of mutually orthogonal idempotents in \(U\otimes\bar{\Phi},\) where \(\bar{\Phi}\) is the algebraic closure of the ground field \(\Phi.\) In the paper under review the central simple finite-dimensional noncommutative Jordan superalgebras of characteristic 0 and degree \(n>2\) are classified. It is proved that for a simple finite-dimensional noncommutative Jordan superalgebra \(U\) of characteristic 0 and degree \(n>1\) the symmetrized Jordan superalgebra \(U^{(+)}\) is simple. In conclusion some description of the central simple finite-dimensional noncommutative Jordan superalgebras of characteristic 0 (Theorem 4) is given. Note that this description is not complete, one can find a thorough description in the above cited article by the authors. As a preliminary result an analogue of \textit{K. McCrimmon}'s coordinatization theorem [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 121, 187--199 (1966; Zbl 0142.27401)] for noncommutative Jordan superalgebras with \(n\geq 3\) ``connected'' idempotents is proved in the paper. It is shown that such superalgebras are either Jordan superalgebras or split quasi-associative superalgebras.
