Jordan superalgebra

Urs Schreiber
superalgebra and (synthetic ) supergeometry The notion of Jordan superalgebra is the analog in superalgebra/supergeometry of that of Jordan algebra: A Jordan superalgebra is a supercommutative superalgebra with underlying -graded algebra , where: is an ordinary Jordan algebra, is a -bimodule with a “Lie bracket-like” product into , satisfying a super Jordan identity. Simple Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 were classified by Kac (Kac 77). The only...
