Generalized sharped cubic form and split spin factor algebra

Abstract

There is a well-known construction of a Jordan algebra via a sharped cubic form. We introduce a generalized sharped cubic form and prove that the split spin factor algebra is induced by this construction and satisfies the identity $((a,b,c),d,b) + ((c,b,d),a,b) + ((d,b,a),c,b) = 0$. The split spin factor algebras have recently appeared in the classification of 2-generated axial algebras of Monster type fulfilled by T. Yabe; their properties were studied by J. McInroy and S. Shpectorov.
