Polynomial Identities and Non-identities of split Jordan Pairs.
We show that split Jordan pairs over rings without 2-torsion can be
distinguished by polynomial identities. In particular, this holds for simple
finite-dimensional Jordan pairs over algebraically closed fields of
characteristic not 2. We also generalize results of Drensky-Racine and
Rached-Racine on polynomial identities of Jordan algebras respectively Jordan
triple systems.
