Abstract

Let AA be a three-dimensional nonassociative division algebra over a finite field. Let AA act on the space A2A^2 by left multiplication. For a nonzero vector vv in A2A^2 we have a three-dimensional subspace AvAv in A2A^2. This paper concerns about possible dimension of the intersection of AvAv and AvAv' for v,vv, v' in A2A^2. One of our results is that there exists a two-dimensional intersection if and only if AA is isotopic to a commutative algebra. We use a classical theorem that A is a twisted field of Albert.
