Determinants in Jordan matrix algebras

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6160540




Abstract: We introduce a natural notion of determinant in matrix JB-algebras, i.e., for hermitian matrices of biquaternions and for hermitian 3imes3 matrices of complex octonions. We establish several properties of these determinants which are useful to understand the structure of the Cartan factor of type 6. As a tool we provide an explicit description of minimal projections in the Cartan factor of type 6 and a variety of its automorphisms.
