Fixed elements of Jordan automorphisms of associative rings

Wallace Smith Martindale, III and Susan Montgomery

Vol. 72 (1977), No. 1, 181–196
Abstract

Let R be an associative ring, and let G be a group of Jordan automorphisms of R. Let RG be the set of elements in R fixed by all g G; that is, RG = {x R|xg = x, all g G}. Although RG is not necessarily a subring of R, it is a Jordan subring of R. In this paper, we will study the relationship between the structure of RG as a Jordan ring and the structure of R, where G will usually be a finite group of order |G| and the ring R has no additive |G|-torsion.
