In the present note we associate a certain algebra of finite rank over Q to each non-singular polarized algebraic variety defined over C. For a surface the algebra is a Jordan algebra with identity, and for an abelian variety A the algebra is canonically isomorphic to the Jordan algebra of symmetric elements in EndQ(A) with respect to the involution induced by the polarization. This algebra may be important for a polarized algebraic variety as much as EndQ(A) for an abelian variety A.
