Title
Jordan Operator Algebras
Abstract: We will start off with a brief introduction to Jordan algebras. Then, we move on to JB-algebras (and JC-algebras), which are the Jordan algebra counterparts of C*-algebras. Most of the talk will focus on JBW-algebras, which are the Jordan algebra counterparts of von Neumann algebras. The major results will be Sakai's theorem for JBW-algebras and Kaplansky's density theorem.
