   • In this section, which is not necessary for the following, we elaborate on the Jordanization of M, paying attention successively to the symplectic structure, the 'energy-scaling' block and the 'horizontal-vertical' decomposition...2005 March, Alain Chenciner, Jacques Féjoz, Richard Montgomery, “Rotating Eights: I. the three Γᵢ families”, in Nonlinearity, volume 8, number 3
   • Let us recall here some known results [3; 7] on the "Jordanization" of diffeomorphisms (directly issued from the corresponding ones for vector fields) and on the relationship between unipotent diffeomorphisms and nilpotent vector fields.2005, Javier Ribòn, “Families of diffeomorphisms without periodic curves”, in The Michigan Mathematical Journal, volume 53, number 2, page 244
2. (usually) The affiliation of the Arab population of the West Bank to Jordan, standing in contrast to Palestinian nationhood or affiliation with Israel.
   • In many ways, though, it is an academic issue, as the process of Jordanization was cut short by the June 1967 war.2014, Joseph Nevo, Jordan in the Middle East, 1948-1988: The Making of Pivotal State
