Degenerations of Jordan Algebras and“Marginal”Algebras

We describe all degenerations of the variety ■3 of Jordan algebras of dimension three over C.In particular,we describe all irreducible components in ■3.For every n we define an n-dimensional rigid“marginal”Jordan algebra of level one.Moreover,we discuss marginal algebras in associative,alternative,left alternative,non-commutative Jordan,Leibniz and anticommutative cases.
