Jordan-algebra representation conjecture for convex state spaces
Jordan-algebra representation conjecture for convex state spaces
Let be a finite-dimensional convex compact set. A local regret function is a regret function defined locally on , and a transitive symmetry group is a group of symmetries acting transitively on .
Jordan-algebra representation conjecture. If has a local regret function and a transitive symmetry group, then can be represented as the positive elements of a Jordan algebra with trace .
This conjecture connects local Bregman-type information geometry and transitive symmetry with the Jordan-algebraic description of state spaces. The source presents it as a conjecture but gives no resolution or further conditions beyond finite dimensionality, compactness, locality of the regret function, and transitivity.
