The fundamental formula for quadratic Jordan representations

The target of this module is the purely algebraic identity

`U (U a b) = U a * U b * U a`.

It is the central composition law for quadratic representations. This module is kept separate from the elementary definition of `U` and from ordered/JB positivity, because its proof uses the Jordan identity but no order or norm.

The inner derivation and the Jordan-triple-system fundamental identity

This section formalizes the standard Jordan-triple-system operator toolkit (`D_{a,b} := [L_a, L_b]`, `V_{a,b} := L_{a*b} + D_{a,b}`) and uses it to prove the linearized triple-product fundamental identity that direct polarization of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` cannot reach on its own (see `JB_ROADMAP.md` §7): a rank computation shows every *linear* substitution combination of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` spans too small a space; the missing ingredient is the *nonlinear* operator fact that `innerDerivation a b` is a genuine derivation of the Jordan product, from which the whole triple identity follows by mechanical (associative) operator algebra.

theorem

Cyclic Sum of Left Multiplication Commutators is Zero in Jordan Algebras

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements a,b,c,x∈Ea, b, c, x \in E, the following identity holds: (a⋅((b⋅c)⋅x)−(b⋅c)⋅(a⋅x))+(b⋅((c⋅a)⋅x)−(c⋅a)⋅(b⋅x))+(c⋅((a⋅b)⋅x)−(a⋅b)⋅(c⋅x))=0 (a \cdot ((b \cdot c) \cdot x) - (b \cdot c) \cdot (a \cdot x)) + (b \cdot ((c \cdot a) \cdot x) - (c \cdot a) \cdot (b \cdot x)) + (c \cdot ((a \cdot b) \cdot x) - (a \cdot b) \cdot (c \cdot x)) = 0 where ⋅\cdot denotes the Jordan product. This expression is the fully polarized degree-four Jordan identity, expressing that the cyclic sum of commutators of the form [La,Lb⋅c][L_a, L_{b \cdot c}] applied to an element xx vanishes.

theorem

Cyclic Sum Identity for Left Multiplication in Jordan Algebras

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements a,b,c,x∈Ea, b, c, x \in E, the following identity holds: a⋅((b⋅c)⋅x)+b⋅((c⋅a)⋅x)+c⋅((a⋅b)⋅x)=(b⋅c)⋅(a⋅x)+(c⋅a)⋅(b⋅x)+(a⋅b)⋅(c⋅x) a \cdot ((b \cdot c) \cdot x) + b \cdot ((c \cdot a) \cdot x) + c \cdot ((a \cdot b) \cdot x) = (b \cdot c) \cdot (a \cdot x) + (c \cdot a) \cdot (b \cdot x) + (a \cdot b) \cdot (c \cdot x) This expression is the fully polarized degree-four Jordan relation. It represents the cyclic commutator identity with its three commutators collected and rearranged, serving as a key identity in the operator normalization argument.

theorem

La⋅(b⋅c)=LaLb⋅c+LbLa⋅c+LcLa⋅b−LbLaLc−LcLaLbL_{a \cdot (b \cdot c)} = L_a L_{b \cdot c} + L_b L_{a \cdot c} + L_c L_{a \cdot b} - L_b L_a L_c - L_c L_a L_b

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements a,b,c∈Ea, b, c \in E, let LxL_x denote the left multiplication operator defined by Lx(y)=x⋅yL_x(y) = x \cdot y, where ⋅\cdot is the Jordan product. The multiplication operator associated with the element a⋅(b⋅c)a \cdot (b \cdot c) can be normalized to a combination of compositions of multiplication operators of single and double products via the following identity: La⋅(b⋅c)=(LaLb⋅c+LbLa⋅c+LcLa⋅b)−(LbLaLc+LcLaLb) L_{a \cdot (b \cdot c)} = (L_a L_{b \cdot c} + L_b L_{a \cdot c} + L_c L_{a \cdot b}) - (L_b L_a L_c + L_c L_a L_b) where the composition of operators is denoted by juxtaposition.

theorem

La3=3LaLa2−2La3L_{a^3} = 3 L_a L_{a^2} - 2 L_a^3

In a Jordan algebra EE over the real numbers R\mathbb{R}, let LxL_x denote the left multiplication operator by an element x∈Ex \in E, defined as Lx(y)=x⋅yL_x(y) = x \cdot y. For any element a∈Ea \in E, the multiplication operator of the third Jordan power a3=a⋅(a⋅a)a^3 = a \cdot (a \cdot a) can be expressed as a polynomial in the operators LaL_a and La2L_{a^2}. Specifically, the following identity holds: La3=3LaLa2−2La3 L_{a^3} = 3 L_a L_{a^2} - 2 L_a^3 where LaLa2L_a L_{a^2} and La3L_a^3 denote the composition of operators. This identity is a specialization of the more general normalization identity for the operator La⋅(b⋅c)L_{a \cdot (b \cdot c)}.

theorem

L(a2)2=La22+4La2La2−4La4L_{(a^2)^2} = L_{a^2}^2 + 4 L_a^2 L_{a^2} - 4 L_a^4

In a Jordan algebra EE over the real numbers R\mathbb{R}, for any elements a,x∈Ea, x \in E, let a2=a⋅aa^2 = a \cdot a denote the Jordan product of aa with itself. The multiplication by the element (a2)2(a^2)^2 is related to the multiplication operators LaL_a and La2L_{a^2} by the identity: ((a2)2)⋅x=a2⋅(a2⋅x)+4a⋅(a⋅(a2⋅x))−4a⋅(a⋅(a⋅(a⋅x))) ((a^2)^2) \cdot x = a^2 \cdot (a^2 \cdot x) + 4 a \cdot (a \cdot (a^2 \cdot x)) - 4 a \cdot (a \cdot (a \cdot (a \cdot x))) This formula constitutes a normalization step that reduces the operator L(a2)2L_{(a^2)^2} to a linear combination of the compositions of the commuting operators LaL_a and La2L_{a^2}.

theorem

Ua2=(Ua)2U_{a^2} = (U_a)^2

In a Jordan algebra EE over the real numbers R\mathbb{R}, let UaU_a denote the quadratic representation of an element a∈Ea \in E. For any element a∈Ea \in E, the quadratic representation of its Jordan square a2=a⋅aa^2 = a \cdot a is equal to the square (the composition with itself) of the quadratic representation of aa. That is, Ua2=Ua∘Ua U_{a^2} = U_a \circ U_a where ∘\circ denotes the composition of linear operators.

theorem

U(a+b)2=(Ua+2Ua,b+Ub)2U_{(a+b)^2} = (U_a + 2 U_{a,b} + U_b)^2

In a Jordan algebra EE over the real numbers R\mathbb{R}, for any elements a,b∈Ea, b \in E, the quadratic representation of the square of their sum (a+b)2(a+b)^2 is equal to the composition of the operator Ua+2Ua,b+UbU_a + 2 U_{a,b} + U_b with itself: U(a+b)2=(Ua+2Ua,b+Ub)∘(Ua+2Ua,b+Ub) U_{(a+b)^2} = (U_a + 2 U_{a,b} + U_b) \circ (U_a + 2 U_{a,b} + U_b) where UxU_x is the quadratic representation Ux=2Lx2−Lx2U_x = 2L_x^2 - L_{x^2}, and Ua,bU_{a,b} is the bilinear quadratic operator Ua,b=LaLb+LbLa−La∘bU_{a,b} = L_a L_b + L_b L_a - L_{a \circ b}. Here, LxL_x denotes the left multiplication operator Lx(y)=x∘yL_x(y) = x \circ y and ∘\circ represents the composition of linear maps.

theorem

Positive polarization of the quadratic representation square identity U(a+b)2U_{(a+b)^2}

Let EE be a Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. For any element a∈Ea \in E, let UaU_a denote the quadratic representation Ua=2La2−La2U_a = 2 L_a^2 - L_{a^2}, where LaL_a is the left multiplication operator and a2a^2 is the Jordan square. For any a,b∈Ea, b \in E, let Ua,bU_{a,b} denote the bilinear quadratic operator LaLb+LbLa−La∘bL_a L_b + L_b L_a - L_{a \circ b}. Then the positive polarization of the square identity for the quadratic representation holds: (Ua)2+4Ua∘b+(Ub)2+4Ua2,a∘b+2Ua2,b2+4Ua∘b,b2=(Ua)2+4(Ua,b)2+(Ub)2+UaUb+UbUa+2(UaUa,b+Ua,bUa+UbUa,b+Ua,bUb)(U_a)^2 + 4 U_{a \circ b} + (U_b)^2 + 4 U_{a^2, a \circ b} + 2 U_{a^2, b^2} + 4 U_{a \circ b, b^2} = (U_a)^2 + 4 (U_{a,b})^2 + (U_b)^2 + U_a U_b + U_b U_a + 2(U_a U_{a,b} + U_{a,b} U_a + U_b U_{a,b} + U_{a,b} U_b) where U∘VU \circ V (or simply UVUV) denotes the composition of linear maps, U2U^2 denotes U∘UU \circ U, and a∘ba \circ b denotes the Jordan product.

theorem

Let EE be a Jordan algebra. For any elements a,b∈Ea, b \in E, let UaU_a denote the quadratic representation of aa (defined as Ua=2La2−La2U_a = 2L_a^2 - L_{a^2}) and let Ux,yU_{x, y} denote the bilinear quadratic operator associated with xx and yy (defined as Ux,y=LxLy+LyLx−Lx⋅yU_{x,y} = L_x L_y + L_y L_x - L_{x \cdot y}). The following operator identity holds: Ua2+4Ua⋅b+Ub2−4Ua2,a⋅b+2Ua2,b2−4Ua⋅b,b2=Ua2+4Ua,b2+Ub2+UaUb+UbUa−2(UaUa,b+Ua,bUa+UbUa,b+Ua,bUb)U_a^2 + 4 U_{a \cdot b} + U_b^2 - 4 U_{a^2, a \cdot b} + 2 U_{a^2, b^2} - 4 U_{a \cdot b, b^2} = U_a^2 + 4 U_{a,b}^2 + U_b^2 + U_a U_b + U_b U_a - 2(U_a U_{a,b} + U_{a,b} U_a + U_b U_{a,b} + U_{a,b} U_b) where ⋅\cdot denotes the Jordan product and operator juxtaposition (or X2X^2) denotes the composition of linear maps. This identity serves as the signed companion to the additive polarization identity; subtracting the two cancels cubic terms and isolates specific mixed quadratic coefficients.

For any elements a,b∈Ea, b \in E, let UxU_x denote the quadratic representation Ux=2Lx2−Lx2U_x = 2L_x^2 - L_{x^2} and Ux,yU_{x,y} denote the bilinear quadratic operator Ux,y=LxLy+LyLx−Lx∘yU_{x,y} = L_x L_y + L_y L_x - L_{x \circ y}, where LxL_x is the left multiplication operator and ∘\circ (or juxtaposition) is the Jordan product. Then the following identity holds: 4(Ua,b∘Ua,b)=4Ua∘b+2Ua2,b2−(Ua∘Ub+Ub∘Ua) 4 (U_{a,b} \circ U_{a,b}) = 4 U_{a \circ b} + 2 U_{a^2, b^2} - (U_a \circ U_b + U_b \circ U_a) where ∘\circ between operators denotes their composition.

Vx,y(Uxz)=2Vx,z(Uxy)−Ux({y,x,z})V_{x, y}(U_x z) = 2 V_{x, z}(U_x y) - U_x(\{y, x, z\})

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements x,y,z∈Ex, y, z \in E, the Jordan triple operator VV and the quadratic representation UU satisfy the following identity: Vx,y(Uxz)=2Vx,z(Uxy)−Ux({y,x,z}) V_{x, y}(U_x z) = 2 V_{x, z}(U_x y) - U_x(\{y, x, z\}) where Va,bV_{a, b} is the operator defined by the Jordan triple product Va,b(c)={a,b,c}V_{a, b}(c) = \{a, b, c\}, UaU_a is the quadratic representation Ua(b)={a,b,a}U_a(b) = \{a, b, a\}, and {y,x,z}\{y, x, z\} denotes the Jordan triple product. This identity serves as an intermediate step toward proving the fundamental formula UUxy=UxUyUxU_{U_x y} = U_x U_y U_x.
