Orbit decomposition of Jordan matrix algebras of order three under the automorphism groups

Abstract

The orbit decomposition is given under the automorphism group on the real split Jordan algebra of all hermitian matrices of order three corresponding to any real split composition algebra, or the automorphism group on the complexification, explicitly, in terms of the cross product of H. Freudenthal and the characteristic polynomial.Comment: v2, 32 pages, presentation improved, minor errors corrected, and the title changed as appeared in J. Math. Sci. Univ. Toky
