Leibniz algebras and their connection to Jordan pair disystems

Abstract

In this paper we present a generalization of Jordan pairs, called Jordan pair disystem, which appear naturally as the wings of a Leibniz algebra with a finite $\mathbb{Z}$-grading; conversely, we give the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction for Jordan pair disystems, obtaining a Leibniz algebra with a short $\mathbb{Z}$-grading. This construction extends the construction given by Gubarev and Kolesnikov for Jordan dialgebras (arXiv:0907.1740). We introduce homotopes for Jordan pair disystems at elements and we show that we obtain again a Jordan dialgebra. Moreover, we introduce abelian inner ideals and their kernels for Leibniz algebras, and prove that the subquotient of a Leibniz algebra with respect to an abelian inner ideal is a Jordan pair disystem. This notion of subquotient extends the construction of Jordan dialgebras at $Q$-Jordan elements given by Felipe and Velásquez.
