Abstract

We construct and investigate certain (unbalanced) superalgebra structures on EndK(V)\text{End}_K(V), with KK a field of characteristic 00 and VV a finite dimensional KK-vector space (of dimension n2n\geq 2). These structures are induced by a choice of non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form BB on VV and a choice of non-zero base vector wVw\in V. After exploring the construction further, we apply our results to certain questions concerning integer matrix factorization and isometry of integral lattices.
