Kantor–Koecher–Tits construction In algebra, the Kantor–Koecher–Tits construction is a method of constructing a Lie algebra from a Jordan algebra, introduced by , , and . If ''J'' is a Jordan algebra, the Kantor–Koecher–Tits construction puts a Lie algebra structure on ''J ...

Kantor double In mathematics, the Kantor double is a Jordan superalgebra structure on the sum of two copies of a Poisson algebra. It is named after Isaiah Kantor Isaiah Kantor (or Issai Kantor, or Isai Lʹvovich Kantor) (1936–2006) was a mathematician who int ...

Poisson algebra In mathematics, a Poisson algebra is an associative algebra together with a Lie bracket that also satisfies Leibniz's law; that is, the bracket is also a derivation. Poisson algebras appear naturally in Hamiltonian mechanics, and are also centr ...
