摘要
A fairly complete account will be given of what is presently known about Albert algebras over commutative rings. In particular, we sketch a novel approach to the two Tits constructions of cubic Jordan algebras that yields new insights even when the base ring is a field. The paper concludes with a discussion of cohomological invariants and with a number of open problems.
