Abstract:
We show that the Jordan bracket on an associative commutative superalgebra is extendable to the superalgebra of fractions. In particular, we prove that a unital simple abelian Jordan superalgebra is embedded into a simple superalgebra of a Jordan bracket. We also study the unital simple Jordan superalgebras whose even part is a field. We demonstrate that each of these superalgebras is either a superalgebra of a nondegenerate bilinear form, or a four-dimensional simple Jordan superalgebra, or a superalgebra of a Jordan bracket, or a superalgebra whose odd part is an irreducible module over a field.
