contents Let $M_n$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ complex matrices. We consider arbitrary subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ of $M_n$ which contain the algebra of all upper-triangular matrices (i.e.\ block upper-triangular subalgebras), and their Jordan embeddings. We first describe Jordan embeddings $ϕ: \mathcal{A} \to M_n$ as maps of the form $ϕ(X)=TXT^{-1}$ or $ϕ(X)=TX^tT^{-1}$, where $T\in M_n$ is an invertible matrix, and then we obtain a simple criteria of when one block upper-triangular subalgebra Jordan-embeds into another (and in that case we describe the form of such embeddings). As a main result, we characterize Jordan embeddings $ϕ: \mathcal{A} \to M_n$ (when $n\geq 3$) as continuous injective maps which preserve commutativity and spectrum. We show by counterexamples that all these assumptions are indispensable (unless $\mathcal{A} = M_n$ when injectivity is superfluous).

Let $M_n$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ complex matrices. We consider arbitrary subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ of $M_n$ which contain the algebra of all upper-triangular matrices (i.e.\ block upper-triangular subalgebras), and their Jordan embeddings. We first describe Jordan embeddings $ϕ: \mathcal{A} \to M_n$ as maps of the form $ϕ(X)=TXT^{-1}$ or $ϕ(X)=TX^tT^{-1}$, where $T\in M_n$ is an invertible matrix, and then we obtain a simple criteria of when one block upper-triangular subalgebra Jordan-embeds into another (and in that case we describe the form of such embeddings). As a main result, we characterize Jordan embeddings $ϕ: \mathcal{A} \to M_n$ (when $n\geq 3$) as continuous injective maps which preserve commutativity and spectrum.
