Glennie's identity

In mathematics, Glennie's identity is an identity used by Charles M. Glennie to establish some s-identities that are valid in special Jordan algebras but not in all Jordan algebras. A Jordan s-identity ("s" for special) is a Jordan polynomial[1] which vanishes in all special Jordan algebras but not in all Jordan algebras. What is now known as Glennie's identity first appeared in his 1963 Yale PhD thesis with Nathan Jacobson as thesis advisor.

Formal definition

Let • denote the product in a special Jordan algebra . For all X, Y, Z in A, define the Jordan triple product

  1. {X,Y,Z} = X•(Y•Z) − Y•(Z•X) + Z•(X•Y) then Glennie's identity G8 holds in the form:
  2. 2{ {Z,{X,Y,X},Z}, Y, Z•X} − {Z, {X, {Y, X•Z, Y}, X}, Z} = 2{ X•Z, Y, {X, {Z,Y,Z}, X} } − {X, {Z, {Y,X•Z,Y}, Z}, X}.[2]

gollark: PotatOS is 17000 but a lot of it isn't mine.
gollark: SPUDNET is only 700 or so.
gollark: Well, no, but large projects lead to 🐝ness for me.
gollark: This is a troublingly large amount.
