Goldie Theory for Jordan Algebras,

It is shown that Zelmanovʹs version of Goldieʹs conditions still characterizes quadratic Jordan algebras having an artinian algebra of quotients which is nondegenerate. At the same time, Jordan versions of the main notions of the associative theory, such as those of the uniform ideal, uniform element, singular ideal, and uniform dimension, are studied. Moreover, it is proved that the nondegenerate unital Jordan algebras of finite capacity are precisely the algebras of quotients of nondegenerate Jordan algebras having the property that an inner ideal is essential if and only if it contains an injective element.
