In the study of homology cobordisms, knot concordance and link concordance, the following technical problem arises frequently: let ${\pi}$ be a group and let M ${\rightarrow}$ N be a homomorphism between projective $\mathbb{Z}[{\pi}]$-modules such that $\mathbb{Z}_p\;{\otimes}_{\mathbb{Z}[{\pi}]}M{\rightarrow}\mathbb{Z}_p{\otimes}_{\mathbb{Z}[{\pi}]}\;N$ is injective; for which other right $\mathbb{Z}[{\pi}]$-modules V is the induced map $V{\otimes}_{\mathbb{Z}[{\pi}]}\;M{\rightarrow}\;V{\otimes}_{\mathbb{Z}[{\pi}]}\;N$ also injective? Our main theorem gives a new criterion which combines and generalizes many previous results.

Injective JW-algebras are defined and are characterized by the existence of projections of norm 1 onto them. The relationship between the injectivity of a JW-algebra and the injectivity of its universal enveloping von Neumann algebra is established. The Jordan analgue of Theorem 3 of [3] is proved, that is, a JC-algebra A is nuclear if and only if its second dual $A^{**}$ is injective.
