The peak algebra $$mathfrak{P}_{n}$$ is a unital subalgebra of the symmetric group algebra, linearly spanned by sums of permutations with a common set of peaks. By exploiting the combinatorics of sparse subsets of [n−1] (and of certain classes of compositions of n called almost-odd and thin), we construct three new linear bases of $$mathfrak{P}_{n}$$. We discuss two peak analogs of the first Eulerian idempotent and construct a basis of semi-idempotent elements for the peak algebra. We use these bases to describe the Jacobson radical of $$mathfrak{P}_{n}$$ and to characterize the elements of $$mathfrak{P}_{n}$$ in terms of the canonical action of the symmetric groups on the tensor algebra of a vector space. We define a chain of ideals $$mathfrak{P}_{n}^{j}$$ of $$mathfrak{P}_{n}$$, j = 0,..., $${lfloor frac{n}{2}
floor}$$, such that $$mathfrak{P}_{n}^{0}$$ is the linear span of sums of permutations with a common set of interior peaks and $$smash{mathfrak{P}_{n}{lfloor frac{n}{2}
floor}}$$ is the peak algebra. We extend the above results to $$mathfrak{P}_{n}^{j}$$, generalizing results of Schocker (the case j = 0).
