Abstract

Let O(F)\mathbf{O}(\mathbb{F}) be the split octonion algebra over an algebraically closed field F\mathbb{F}. For positive integers k1,k22k_1, k_2\geq 2, we study surjectivity of the map A1(xk1)+A2(yk2)O(F)x,yA_1(x^{k_1}) + A_2(y^{k_2}) \in \mathbf{O}(\mathbb{F})\langle x, y\rangle on O(F)\mathbf{O}(\mathbb{F}). For this, we use the orbit representatives of the G2(F){G}_2(\mathbb{F})-action on O(F)×O(F)\mathbf{O}(\mathbb{F}) \times \mathbf{O}(\mathbb{F}) for the tuple (A1,A2)(A_1, A_2), and characterize the ones which give a surjective map.
