Jordan- and Lie Geometries

چکیده
In these lecture notes we report on research aiming at understanding the relation beween algebras and geometries, by focusing on the classes of Jordan algebraic and of associative structures and comparing them with Lie structures. The geometric object sought for, called a generalized projective, resp. an associative geometry, can be seen as a combination of the structure of a symmetric space, resp. of a Lie group, with the one of a projective geometry. The text is designed for readers having basic knowledge of Lie theory – we give complete definitions and explain the results by presenting examples, such as Grassmannian geometries.

Generalized projective geometries: general theory and equivalence with Jordan structures
In this work we introduce generalized projective geometries which are a natural generalization of projective geometries over a field or ring K but also of other important geometries such as Grassmannian, Lagrangian or conformal geometry (see [3]). We also introduce the corresponding generalized polar geometries and associate to such a geometry a symmetric space over K. In the finite-dimensional...
متن کاملOn the Hermitian projective line as a home for the geometry of Quantum Theory
In the paper “Is there a Jordan geometry underlying quantum physics?” [Be08], generalized projective geometries have been proposed as a framework for a geometric formulation of Quantum Theory. In the present note, we refine this proposition by discussing further structural features of Quantum Theory: the link with associative involutive algebras A and with Jordan-Lie and Lie-Jordan algebas. The...
متن کاملAssociative Geometries. I: Grouds, Linear Relations and Grassmannians
We define and investigate a geometric object, called an associative geometry, corresponding to an associative algebra (and, more generally, to an associative pair). Associative geometries combine aspects of Lie groups and of generalized projective geometries, where the former correspond to the Lie product of an associative algebra and the latter to its Jordan product. A further development of t...
متن کاملJordan structures and non-associative geometry
We give an overview over constructions of geometries associated to Jordan structures (algebras, triple systems and pairs), featuring analogs of these constructions with the Lie functor on the one hand and with the approach of noncommutative geometry on the other hand.
متن کاملInner ideals and intrinsic subspaces in linear pair geometries
We introduce the notion of intrinsic subspaces of linear and affine pair geometries, which generalizes the one of projective subspaces of projective spaces. We prove that, when the affine pair geometry is the projective geometry of a Lie algebra introduced in [BeNe04], such intrinsic subspaces correspond to inner ideals in the associated Jordan pair, and we investigate the case of intrinsic sub...
