Algebras carrying maps of degree n

We discuss classes of algebras which carry a map of degree n into one of their subalgebras. Some of these maps permit some weak type of (Jordan) composition and can be viewed as generalizations of a norm form. For instance, several classes of algebras recently obtained carry what we call a semi-multiplicative map. Their elements satisfy a polynomial identity over one of their subalgebras, thus behaving similar to algebras with norm forms.
