The fundamental formula

i. Overview

The quadratic representation satisfies the fundamental formula `U_{U_a b} = U_a U_b U_a`. The proof uses only the Jordan identity, through the inner derivations `[L_a, L_b]` and the triple operators.

ii. Key results

  • `JordanAlgebra.quadRep_quadRep_eq` : `U_{a²} = U_a²`.
  • `JordanAlgebra.quadRep_fundamental` : **the fundamental formula** `U_{U_a b} = U_a U_b U_a`.

A. Fundamental composition identity

B. Polarizing the cubic commutation law: the triple commutator identity

C. Normalizing the multiplication operator of a quadratic image

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

With the inner derivations `D_{a,b} = [L_a, L_b]` and the triple operators `V_{a,b} = L_{a ∘ b} + D_{a,b}`, the fundamental identity of Jordan triple systems follows from the fact that inner derivations are derivations of the Jordan product.

Cyclic Sum of Left Multiplication Commutators [La,Lb⋅c]x=0[L_a, L_{b \cdot c}]x = 0 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 This formula represents the polarized Jordan identity evaluated at a fourth element xx. In terms of the left multiplication operator La(x)=a⋅xL_a(x) = a \cdot x and the commutator [La,Lb]=LaLb−LbLa[L_a, L_b] = L_a L_b - L_b L_a, this can be written as the cyclic sum ∑cyc[La,Lb⋅c]x=0\sum_{cyc} [L_a, L_{b \cdot c}]x = 0.

Let EE be a Jordan algebra. For any elements a,b,c,x∈Ea, b, c, x \in E, the following identity involving cyclic sums 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) where ⋅\cdot denotes the Jordan product. This identity represents a polarized form of the Jordan identity with collected commutators.

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements a,b,c∈Ea, b, c \in E, the left multiplication operator La∘(b∘c)L_{a \circ (b \circ c)} corresponding to the triple product can be expressed in terms of the multiplication operators of single and double products as: La∘(b∘c)=LaLb∘c+LbLa∘c+LcLa∘b−LbLaLc−LcLaLbL_{a \circ (b \circ c)} = L_a L_{b \circ c} + L_b L_{a \circ c} + L_c L_{a \circ b} - L_b L_a L_c - L_c L_a L_b where ∘\circ denotes the Jordan product, LxL_x is the left multiplication operator defined by Lx(y)=x∘yL_x(y) = x \circ y, and the juxtaposition of operators (e.g., LbLaLcL_b L_a L_c) denotes operator composition.

The left multiplication operator La3L_{a^3} (defined by La3(x)=a3⋅xL_{a^3}(x) = a^3 \cdot x) can be expressed as a polynomial in the operators LaL_a and La2L_{a^2} according to the identity: La3=3La∘La2−2La3L_{a^3} = 3 L_a \circ L_{a^2} - 2 L_a^3 where ∘\circ denotes the composition of linear maps and La3=La∘La∘LaL_a^3 = L_a \circ L_a \circ L_a.

theorem

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements a,x∈Ea, x \in E, the left multiplication by (a2)2(a^2)^2 can be normalized and expanded in terms of the left multiplication operators LaL_a and La2L_{a^2}. Specifically, the following identity holds: ((a⋅a)⋅(a⋅a))⋅x=(a⋅a)⋅((a⋅a)⋅x)+4a⋅(a⋅((a⋅a)⋅x))−4a⋅(a⋅(a⋅(a⋅x))) ((a \cdot a) \cdot (a \cdot a)) \cdot x = (a \cdot a) \cdot ((a \cdot a) \cdot x) + 4 a \cdot (a \cdot ((a \cdot a) \cdot x)) - 4 a \cdot (a \cdot (a \cdot (a \cdot x))) where ⋅\cdot denotes the Jordan product and 44 denotes scalar multiplication by the real number 4.

theorem

In a Jordan algebra EE over R\mathbb{R}, for any element a∈Ea \in E, the quadratic representation of the square a2a^2 is equal to the square of the quadratic representation of aa. Specifically, if UaU_a denotes the quadratic representation map, then Ua2=Ua∘Ua U_{a^2} = U_a \circ U_a where ∘\circ denotes the composition of linear maps.

theorem

In a Jordan algebra EE, for any elements a,b∈Ea, b \in E, the quadratic representation of the square of their sum, U(a+b)2U_{(a+b)^2}, is equal to the composition of the operator Ua+2Ua,b+UbU_a + 2U_{a,b} + U_b with itself. This identity evaluates the general square identity Ux2=Ux2U_{x^2} = U_x^2 at the point x=a+bx = a + b, expanding Ua+bU_{a+b} into its constituent quadratic and bilinear parts. Mathematically, it is expressed as: U(a+b)2=(Ua+2Ua,b+Ub)∘(Ua+2Ua,b+Ub) U_{(a+b)^2} = (U_a + 2U_{a,b} + U_b) \circ (U_a + 2U_{a,b} + U_b) where UxU_x is the quadratic representation of xx, Ua,bU_{a,b} is the bilinear quadratic operator (the polarization of UU), and ∘\circ denotes the composition of linear endomorphisms.

This equation represents the fully expanded negative polarization (substituting a−ba-b for xx) of the fundamental Jordan identity Ux2=Ux2U_{x^2} = U_x^2. Adding this identity to its positive counterpart (`quadRep_add_square_polarized`) cancels the cubic terms.
