Local PI theory of Jordan systems II

This paper continues a previous study of Jordan systems having nonzero PI-elements, that is elements at which the local algebra is PI. We prove an analogue of Martindale's theorem on prime associative algebras with a generalized identity. To do that, we first introduce the extended centroid of a nondegenerate Jordan system, and define the scalar extension naturally attached to it, which we call the extended central closure. The main theorem of the paper asserts that a strongly prime Jordan system with a nonzero PI-element has a primitive extended central closure which has therefore nonzero socle.
