Idea

The notion of Jordan superalgebra is the analog in superalgebra/supergeometry of that of Jordan algebra:

A Jordan superalgebra is a supercommutative superalgebra with underlying /2\mathbb{Z}/2-graded algebra J=J 0J 1J = J_0 \oplus J_1, where:

Classification

Simple Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 were classified by Kac (Kac 77). The only exceptional finite-dimensional example is the 10-dimensional Jordan superalgebra K 10K_{10}.
