Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 February 2012

Synopsis

A result proved elsewhere concerning the structure of linear algebras of genus one is used (i) to classify Jordan algebras of genus one, and (ii) to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an algebra of genus one to be simple. The class of simple Jordan algebras of genus one and dimension not less than 4 over an algebraically closed field is shown to coincide with the class of simple Jordan algebras of degree two.
