On triple algebras and ternary cubic forms

On ternary cubic forms that determine central simple algebras of degree 3

Fixing a field F of characteristic different from 2 and 3, we consider pairs (A, V ) consisting of a degree 3 central simple F -algebra A and a 3-dimensional vector subspace V of the reduced trace zero elements of A which is totally isotropic for the trace quadratic form. Each such pair gives rise to a cubic form mapping an element of V to its cube; therefore we call it a cubic pair over F . Us...

Equivalence of F-Algebras and Cubic Forms

We study the isomorphism problem of two “natural” algebraic structures – F-algebras and cubic forms. We prove that the F-algebra isomorphism problem reduces in polynomial time to the cubic forms equivalence problem. This answers a question asked in [AS05]. For finite fields of the form 3 6 |(#F − 1), this result implies that the two problems are infact equivalent. This result also has the follo...

Lie ternary $(sigma,tau,xi)$--derivations on Banach ternary algebras

Let $A$ be a Banach ternary algebra over a scalar field $Bbb R$ or $Bbb C$ and $X$ be a ternary Banach $A$--module. Let $sigma,tau$ and $xi$ be linear mappings on $A$, a linear mapping $D:(A,[~]_A)to (X,[~]_X)$ is called a Lie ternary $(sigma,tau,xi)$--derivation, if $$D([a,b,c])=[[D(a)bc]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}-[[D(c)ba]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}$$ for all $a,b,cin A$, where $[abc]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}=ata...

Hopf algebras for ternary algebras and groups

We construct an universal enveloping algebra associated to the ternary extension of Lie (super)algebras called Lie algebra of order three. A Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem is proven is this context. It this then shown that this universal enveloping algebra can be endowed with a structure of Hopf algebra. The study of the dual of the universal enveloping algebra enables to define the parameters ...
