Composition algebras | Octonions

Octonion

In mathematics, the octonions are a normed division algebra over the real numbers, a kind of hypercomplex number system. The octonions are usually represented by the capital letter O, using boldface O or blackboard bold . Octonions have eight dimensions; twice the number of dimensions of the quaternions, of which they are an extension. They are noncommutative and nonassociative, but satisfy a weaker form of associativity; namely, they are alternative. They are also power associative. Octonions are not as well known as the quaternions and complex numbers, which are much more widely studied and used. Octonions are related to exceptional structures in mathematics, among them the exceptional Lie groups. Octonions have applications in fields such as string theory, special relativity and quantum logic. Applying the Cayley–Dickson construction to the octonions produces the sedenions. (Wikipedia).

How to construct an Octahedron

How the greeks constructed the 2nd platonic solid: the regular octahedron Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 14. In geometry, an octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces, twelve edges, and six vertices. The term is most commonly used to refer to the regular octahedron, a Plat

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras: Lesson 2 - Quaternions

This video is about Lie Groups and Lie Algebras: Lesson 2 - Quaternions We study the algebraic nature of quaternions and cover the ideas of an algebra and a field. Later we will discover how quaternions fit into the description of the classical Lie Groups. NOTE: An astute viewer noted th

Alberto Elduque: Triality

Duality in projective geometry is a well-known phenomenon in any dimension. On the other hand, geometric triality deals with points and spaces of two different kinds in a sevendimensional projective space. It goes back to Study (1913) and Cartan (1925), and was soon realizedthat this pheno

Abstract: One of the most amazing discoveries of John Milnor is an exotic sphere in dimension 7. For the layman, a sphere of dimension 7 may not only look exotic but even esoteric... It took a long time for mathematicians to gradually accept the existence of geometries in dimensions higher

Dominique HULIN - Harmonic coarse embeddings

The Schoen conjecture, recently proved by V. Markovic, states that any quasi-isometric map from the hyperbolic plane to itself is within bounded distance from a unique harmonic map. We generalize this result to coarse embeddings between two Hadamard manifolds with pinched curvature. This

Quaternions EXPLAINED Briefly

This is a video I have been wanting to make for some time, in which I discuss what the quaternions are, as mathematical objects, and how we do calculations with them. In particular, we will see how the fundamental equation of the quaternions i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk=-1 easily generates the rule for
