How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Jordan algebra over a field of characteristic not two

Definition

Let $k$ be a field with $char (k) \neq 2$ (Field) and let $J$ be a $k$ -vector space (Vector space over a field). A Jordan $k$ -algebra is a bilinear product $\circ : J \times J \to J$ (linear in each argument) such that $x \circ y = y \circ x$ and

$x \circ (y \circ x^{2}) = (x \circ y) \circ x^{2}$

for all $x, y \in J$ , where $x^{2} : = x \circ x$ . Associativity is not required. The algebra is unital if there is an element $1_{J}$ such that $1_{J} \circ x = x$ for every $x \in J$ .

Dependency tree · two levels

8 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
