Jordan pairs and Hopf algebras

[摘要] A (quadratic) Jordan pair is constructed from a Z-graded Hopf algebra having divided power sequences over all primitive elements and with three terms in the Z-grading of the primitive elements. The notion of a divided power representation of a Jordan pair is introduced and the universal object is shown to be a suitable Hopf algebra. This serves a replacement for the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
