+ A primitive idempotent is a non-zero idempotent that is not
+ the sum of two other non-zero idempotents. Remark 2.7.15 in
+ Baes shows that this is what he refers to as a "minimal
+ idempotent."
+
+ An element of a Euclidean Jordan algebra is a minimal idempotent
+ if it :meth:`is_idempotent` and if its Peirce subalgebra
+ corresponding to the eigenvalue ``1`` has dimension ``1`` (Baes,
+ Proposition 2.7.17).
