We introduce and study flipped non-associative polynomial rings. In particular, we show that all Cayley-Dickson algebras naturally appear as quotients of a certain type of such rings; this extends the classical construction of the complex…

We study not necessarily associative (NNA) division algebras over the reals. We classify in this paper series those that admit a grading over a finite group $G$, and have a basis $\{v_g|g\in G\}$ as a real vector space, and the product of…

This article is an expository account of the theory of twisted commutative algebras, which simply put, can be thought of as a theory for handling commutative algebras with large groups of linear symmetries. Examples include the coordinate…

We argue that once octonions are formulated as soft Lie algebras, they may be safely used and the non-associativity can be overcame. The necessary points are: (a) Fixing the direction of action by introducing the \delta operator. (b)…

A physical applicability of normed split-algebras, such as hyperbolic numbers, split-quaternions and split-octonions is considered. We argue that the observable geometry can be described by the algebra of split-octonions. In such a picture…

This article is devoted to the investigation of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Cohomologies of wrap groups…

This article uses Clifford algebra of definite signature to derive octonions and the Lie exceptional algebra G2 from calibrations using Pin(7). This is simpler than the usual exterior algebra derivation and uncovers a subalgebra of Spin(7)…

Associated to any complex simple Lie algebra is a non-reductive complex Lie algebra which we call the intermediate Lie algebra. We propose that these algebras can be included in both the magic square and the magic triangle to give an…

A twisting system is one of the major tools to study graded algebras, however, it is often difficult to construct a (non-algebraic) twisting system if a graded algebra is given by generators and relations. In this paper, we show that a…

The structure of the unitary unit group of the group algebra ${\F}_{2^k} Q_{8}$ is described as a Hamiltonian group.

This paper examines a general method for producing twists of a comodule algebra by tensoring it with a torsor then taking co-invariants. We examine the properties that pass from the original algebra to the twisted algebra and vice versa. We…

We show that the truncation of twisted Yangians are isomorphic to finite W-algebras based on orthogonal or symplectic algebras. This isomorphism allows us to classify all the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quoted…

We study generically split octonion algebras over schemes using techniques of ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory. By combining affine representability results with techniques of obstruction theory, we establish classification results over…

We consider the permutation group algebra defined by Cameron and show that if the permutation group has no finite orbits, then no homogeneous element of degree one is a zero-divisor of the algebra. We proceed to make a conjecture which…

We compute the fundamental group of the Galois cover of a surface of degree~$8$, with singularities of degree $4$, whose degeneration envelope is isomorphic to an octahedron. The group is shown to be a metabelian group of order $2^{23}$.…

In this paper we first recall the definition of an octonion algebra and its algebraic properties. We derive the so called $e_4$-calculus and using it we obtain the list of generalized Cauchy-Riemann systems in octonionic monogenic…

A real representation theory of real Clifford algebra has been studied in further detail, especially in connection with Fierz identities. As its application, we have constructed real octonion algebras as well as related octonionic triple…

Let $M$ be an oriented manifold and let $\frak N$ be a set consisting of oriented closed manifolds of the same odd dimension. We consider the topological space $G_{\frak N, M}$ of commutative diagrams. Each commutative diagram consists of a…

We present an eight-dimensional even sub-algebra of the ${2^4=16}$-dimensional associative Clifford algebra ${\mathrm{Cl}_{4,0}}$ and show that its eight-dimensional multivectors ${\bf X}$ and ${\bf Y}$ respect the composition law ${||{\bf…

The second author showed how Katsura's construction of the C*-algebra of a topological graph E may be twisted by a Hermitian line bundle L over the edge space E. The correspondence defining the algebra is obtained as the completion of the…
