Moufang sets and jordan division algebras

We give a simple criterion which determines when a permutation group U and one additional permutation give rise to a Moufang set. We apply this criterion to show that every Jordan division algebra gives rise in a very natural way to a Moufang set, to provide sufficient conditions for a Moufang set to arise from a Jordan division algebra and to give a characterization of the projective Moufang sets over a commutative field of characteristic different from 2.
