Abstract

Strong Jordan systems are certain subspaces of associative algebras closed under inversion and with many units. Every strong Jordan system gives rise to a chain space. We show that every homotopism of Jordan systems yields a morphism between the associated chain spaces and vice versa. By this, we obtain an isomorphy of categories.
