Abstract

We study the series of complex nonassociative algebras On and real nonassociative algebras Op,qO_{p,q} introduced in [10]. These algebras generalize the classical algebras of octonions and Clifford algebras. The algebras OnO_{n} and Op,qO_{p,q} with p+q=np + q = n have a natural Zn2Z_n^2-grading, and they are characterized by cubic forms over the field Z2Z_2. We establish a periodicity for the algebras OnO_{n} and Op,qO_{p,q} similar to that of the Clifford algebras Cln and Clp,qCl_{p,q}.
