Abstract:

McCrimmon has defined a class of quadratic Jordan algebras of degree 3 obtained from a cubic form, a quadratic mapping and a base point. The structure of such an algebra containing no absolute zero-divisor is determined directly. A simple proof of Springer’s Theorem on isomorphism of reduced simple exceptional quadratic Jordan algebras is given.
