The universal-envelope conjecture for simple associative triple systems

Let Ap,qA_{p,q} (pqp \le q) be the simple associative triple system consisting of (p+q)×(p+q)(p+q) \times (p+q) block matrices of the form

[0p×qq×p0].\begin{bmatrix} 0 & p \times q \\ q \times p & 0 \end{bmatrix}.

Let ω\omega be one of the following trilinear operations: Jordan (q=0,1,12q = 0, 1, \frac12), anti-Jordan (q=,1,2q = \infty, -1, 2), the fourth family (all cases), cyclic commutator, weakly commutative, or weakly anticommutative. Universal-envelope conjecture. With finitely many exceptions, U(Aω)U(A^\omega) is finite dimensional and semisimple and is isomorphic to

FMp+q(F).F \oplus M_{p+q}(F).

The conjecture arises from computations suggesting that the universal associative envelopes are generally finite dimensional and have only the trivial and natural irreducible representations. The finitely many exceptional cases and a general proof remain to be determined.
