Abstract

We attach a Jordan algebra Lx to any ad-nilpotent element x of index of nilpotence at most 3 in a Lie algebra L. This Jordan algebra has a behavior similar to that of the local algebra of a Jordan system at an element. Thus, Lx inherits nice properties from L and keeps relevant information about the element x.
