Abstract
We prove that all Rota–Baxter operators on a quadratic division algebra are trivial. For nonzero weight, we state that all Rota–Baxter operators on the simple odd-dimensional Jordan algebra of bilinear form are projections on a subalgebra along another one. For weight zero, we find a connection between the Rota–Baxter operators and the solutions to the alternative Yang–Baxter equation on the Cayley–Dickson algebra. We also investigate the Rota–Baxter operators on the matrix algebras of order two, the Grassmann algebra of plane, and the Kaplansky superalgebra.
