3-Graded Lie algebras with Jordan finiteness conditions

A notion of socle is introduced for 3-graded Lie algebras (over a ring of scalars containing 1/6) whose associated Jordan pairs are non-degenerate. The socle turns out to be a 3-graded ideal and is the sum of some minimal 3-graded inner ideals, each of which being a central extension of the TKK-algebra of a division Jordan pair. Non-degenerate 3-graded Lie algebras having a large socle are essentially determined by TKK-algebras of simple Jordan pairs with minimal inner ideals and their derivation algebras, which are also 3-graded.
