26 A look at the rows of Tits construction T (C, J) = der C (C 0 J 0 ) der J (C a composition algebra, J a suitable Jordan algebra.) First row dim C = 1, T (C, J) = der J. Second row dim C = 2, T (C, J) J 0 der J str 0 (J).

27 A look at the rows of Tits construction T (C, J) = der C (C 0 J 0 ) der J (C a composition algebra, J a suitable Jordan algebra.) First row dim C = 1, T (C, J) = der J. Second row dim C = 2, T (C, J) J 0 der J str 0 (J). Third row dim C = 4, so C = Q is a quaternion algebra and T (C, J) = ad Q0 (Q 0 J 0 ) der J (Q 0 J) der J. (This is Tits version (1962) of the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction T KK(J))

38 Fourth row, characteristic 3

39 Fourth row, characteristic 3 If the characteristic is 3 and dim C = 8, then der C is no longer simple, but contains the simple ideal ad C 0 (a form of psl 3 ). It makes sense to consider: T (C, J) = ad C 0 (C 0 J 0 ) der J (C 0 J) der J.

It makes sense to consider: T (C, J) = ad C 0 (C 0 J 0 ) der J (C 0 J) der J. T (C, J) becomes a Lie algebra if and only if J is a commutative and alternative algebra (these conditions imply the Jordan identity).

T (C, J) becomes a Lie algebra if and only if J is a commutative and alternative algebra (these conditions imply the Jordan identity).

These are more difficult, for two related reasons. First, it is not always true that the group of isometries with determinant 1 is equal to its
