While every matrix admits a singular value decomposition, in which the terms are pairwise orthogonal in a strong sense, higher-order tensors typically do not admit such an orthogonal decomposition. Those that do have attracted attention…

We use the octonion algebra to construct singular solutions of Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in 21 or more dimensions. The regularity of these solutions is the least possible one. The same is proven for Isaacs…

We introduce the general polynomial algebras characterizing a class of higher order superintegrable systems that separate in Cartesian coordinates. The construction relies on underlying polynomial Heisenberg algebras and their defining…

We present a simple construction of the instantonic type equation over octonions where its similarities and differences with the quaternionic case are very clear. We use the unified language of Clifford Algebra. We argue that our approach…

We consider $\G$-graded commutative algebras, where $\G$ is an abelian group. Starting from a remarkable example of the classical algebra of quaternions and, more generally, an arbitrary Clifford algebra, we develop a general viewpoint on…

Clifford algebras are used for constructing spin groups, and are therefore of particular importance in the theory of quantum mechanics. But the spin group is not the only subgroup of the Clifford algebra. An algebraist's perspective on…

The article is devoted to affine and wrap algebras over quaternions and octonions. Residues of functions of quaternion and octonion variables are studied. They are used for construction of such algebras. Their structure is investigated.

We study a series of real nonassociative algebras $\mathbb{O}_{p,q}$ introduced in $[5]$. These algebras have a natural $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-grading, where $n=p+q$, and they are characterized by a cubic form over the field $\mathbb{Z}_2$. We…

In this article we generalize the discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics on Lie groups to non-associative objects generalizing Lie groups (smooth loops). This shows that the associativity assumption is not crucial for mechanics and…

The 8 $\times$ 8 matrix representation of SO(8) Symmetry has been defined by using the direct product of Pauli matrices and Gamma matrices. These 8 $\times$ 8 matrices are being used to describe the rotations in SO(8) symmetry. The…

It is shown that the supersymmetric quantum mechanics has an octonionic generalization. The generalization is based on the inclusion of quaternions into octonions. The elements from the coset octonions/quaternions are unobservables bacause…

Affiliated and normal operators in octonion Hilbert spaces are studied. Theorems about their properties and of related algebras are demonstrated. Spectra of unbounded normal operators are investigated.

This work presents and studies Riccati equations over finite-dimensional normed division algebras. We prove that a Riccati equation over a finite-dimensional normed division algebra $A$ is a particular case of conformal Riccati equation on…

Following [1] we further apply the octonionic structure to supersymmetric D=11 $M$-theory. We consider the octonionic $2^{n+1} \times 2^{n+1}$ Dirac matrices describing the sequence of Clifford algebras with signatures ($9+n,n$) ($n=0,1,2,…

In this paper we explore graded algebras of quotients of Lie algebras with special emphasis on the 3-graded case and answer some natural questions concerning its relation to maximal Jordan systems of quotients.

The space K^n of all n-dimensional { Lie} algebras has a natural non-Hausdorff topology k^n, which has characteristic limits, called transitions, A -> B, between distinct Lie algebras A and B. The entity of these transitions are the natural…

I present here some new results which make explicit the role of the division algebras R,C,H,O in the construction and classification of, respectively, N=1,2,4,8 global supersymmetric quantum mechanical and classical dynamical systems. In…

The nonassociativity of the octonion algebra necessitates a bimodule representation, in which each element is represented by a left and a right multiplier. This representation can then be used to generate gauge transformations for the…

We prove that the alternative Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate ternary quadratic form is an octonion algebra over the ring of polynomials in one variable over the field of definition.

We consider a polynomial version of the Cayley numbers. Namely, we define the ring of Cayley polynomials in terms of generators and relations in the category of alternative algebras. The ring turns out to be an octonion algebra over an…
