A linear subspace M of a Jordan algebra J is said to be a Lie triple ideal of J if [M,J,J] ⊆ M, where [·,·,·] denotes the associator. We show that every Lie triple ideal M of a nondegenerate Jordan algebra J is either contained in the center of J or contains the nonzero Lie triple ideal [U,J,J], where U is the ideal of J generated by [M,M,M]. Let H be a Jordan algebra, let J be a prime nondegenerate Jordan algebra with extended centroid C and unital central closure Ĵ, and let...
