Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00013.] By a Jordan two-graded algebra \(J\) it is understood a \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2\)-graded Jordan algebra. That is, \(J=J_ 0\oplus J_ 1\) is a Jordan algebra with \(J_ i J_ j\subseteq J_{i+j}\) (indices modulo 2). This should not be confused with a Jordan superalgebra. Notice that the map \(\varphi: J\to J\), which restricted to \(J_ 0\) is the identity and restricted to \(J_ 1\) is minus the identity, is an automorphism of \(J\) of order 2 and that Jordan two-graded algebras are exactly the same as Jordan algebras with an involutive automorphism. For a two-graded \(H^*\)-algebra it is required, apart from being \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2\)-graded and \(H^*\), that the even and odd part be selfadjoint closed orthogonal subspaces. In this paper, the investigation of the structure of two-graded \(H^*\)- algebras with continuous involution is reduced to the study of the topologically simple two-graded \(H^*\)-algebras. These are either isomorphic to an orthogonal direct sum \(B+B\), where \(B\) is a topologically simple \(H^*\)-algebra, or they are topologically simple ungraded \(H^*\)-algebras equipped with an involutive automorphism commuting with *, and conversely. With this in mind, the authors classify the topologically simple \(H^*\)- algebras equipped with such an involutive automorphism both in the complex and real cases. The algebras that appear include, among others, matrix algebras split into symmetric (even) and skew symmetric (odd) elements relative to an involution and Albert algebras decomposed according to \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2\)-gradings of octonions obtained from the Cayley- Dickson process.
