Abstract

We study a series of real nonassociative algebras Op,q\mathbb{O}_{p,q} introduced in [5][5]. These algebras have a natural Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-grading, where n=p+qn=p+q, and they are characterized by a cubic form over the field Z2\mathbb{Z}_2. We establish all the possible isomorphisms between the algebras Op,q\mathbb{O}_{p,q} preserving the structure of Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-graded algebra. The classification table of Op,q\mathbb{O}_{p,q} is quite similar to that of the real Clifford algebras Clp,q\mathrm{Cl}_{p,q}, the main difference is that the algebras On,0\mathbb{O}_{n,0} and O0,n\mathbb{O}_{0,n} are exceptional.
