Generically algebraic Jordan algebras over commutative rings
The theory of the generic minimum polynomial, norm and trace is
developed for
quadratic Jordan algebras which are finitely generated and projective modules
over an arbitrary commutative base ring, using scheme-theoretic methods. We
recover, with new proofs, most of the classical theory over fields, and also
obtain a number of results which are new even in the classical setting.
