Algebra

An algebra is a vector space A over a field (we will assume R) with a


bilinear multiplication. Given x, y , z ∈ A, an algebra is
commutative if xy = yx,
associative if x (yz) = (xy ) z,
alternative if x (yy ) = (xy ) y ,
flexible if x (yx) = (xy ) x and
power-associative if x (xx) = (xx) x.

Remark:

associative ⇒ alternative ⇒ flexible ⇒ power-associative.

Preliminaries

A is division algebra if xy = 0 then x = 0 or y = 0.


if it exists an element 1 ∈ X such that 1x = x1 = x for all x ∈ X
then the algebra is unital.
if we can define norm, such that

n (xy ) = n (x) n (y ) ,

for every x, y ∈ A, then the algebra is called a composition


algebra with the norm n.

The Cayley-Dickson construction

Let A be a ∗−algebra, i.e. with a conjugation ∗ anti-homomorphism


and involution

a∗∗ = a, (ab) = b∗ a∗ ,
for all a, b ∈ A. Then we define A′ with elements (a, b) ∈ A × A, and
product
(a, b) · (c, d) = (ac − d ∗ b, da + bc ∗ ) ,
and with a new conjugation given by

(a, b) = (a∗ , −b)

Is again a ∗−algebra. Iteration of the process from the real algebra R


yields to four division Hurwitz algebras, i.e.

R → C → H → O.

Symmetric Composition Algebras

There are non-unital composition algebras. E.g. From any Hurwitz


algebra K consider the product

x ◦ y = x · y,

that, again, is composition in respect to the norm, i.e.


n (x ◦ y ) = n (x) n (y ).
The algebra (K, ◦, n) is called para-Hurwitz.
Remark: 1 ◦ x = x ◦ 1 = x thus para-Hurwitz algebras are not unital,
but they are flexible.
When an algebra is flexible and composition is called symmetric
composition and satisfies

x ◦ (y ◦ x) = (x ◦ y ) ◦ x = n (x) y .

Symmetric Composition Algebras

A similar approach was already explored by Petersson (1969) who


used an homomorphism of order three τ defining

x ∗ y = τ (x) · τ 2 (y ) ,

starting from split Octonions Os and discovering an algebra that is a


symmetric composition algebra, i.e.

n (x ∗ y ) = n (x) n (y ) ,
x ∗ (y ∗ x) = (x ∗ y ) ∗ x = n (x) y ,

which was later identified as the Okubo algebra.

Problem:
A standard definition of the projective plane KP 2 over the algebra
K ∈ {R, C, H} is given by

KP 2 = K3 ∖ {0} / ∼,


where x ∼ y iff λx = y , for every λ ∈ K× , x, y ∈ K3 .


But in case of O if λ, µ ∈ O then (λµ) x ̸= λ (µx) so the relation
x ∼ y = λx, is not transitive, i.e. y ∼ z = µy does not imply x ∼ z
since
z = µy = µ (λx) ̸= (λµ) x.

from Okubo to Octonions

Octonions O can be obtained as a deformation from the Okubo


algebra O through the use of the new product

x · y = (e ∗ x) ∗ (y ∗ e) ,

where x, y ∈ O and e is an idempotent of O.


Proof. Since e ∗ e = e and n (e) = 1, for every x ∈ O the element e
acts as a left and right identity, i.e.

x · e = (e ∗ x) ∗ e = n (e) x = x,
e · x = e ∗ (x ∗ e) = n (e) x = x,
n (x · y ) = n ((e ∗ x) ∗ (y ∗ e)) = n (x) n (y ) ,

which means that (O, ·, n) is a unital composition algebra of real


dimension 8 and therefore isomorphic to the algebra of Octonions O.

The Okubic Affine Plane

We define the Okubic affine plane as the set of points, lines and
incidence rules defined by
A point is identified by two coordinates (x, y ) with x, y ∈ O,
a line [s, t] of the affine plane is the set {(x, s ∗ x + t) : x ∈ O} ,
a vertical line is identified by [c] and denotes the set {c} × O,

A point (x, y ) is incident to a line [s, t] iff (x, y ) ∈ [s, t].

The Okubic Affine Plane

for any two points (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) there is a unique line
joining, namely [s, y1 − s ∗ x1 ], where s is determined by

s ∗ (x1 − x2 ) = (y1 − y2 ) ,

when x1 ̸= x2 and to the line [x1 ] when x1 = x2 .


Two lines [s1 , t1 ] and [s2 , t2 ] of different slope, i.e. s1 ̸= s2 , have a
unique point of intersection {(x, s1 ∗ x + t1 )}
Two lines with the same slope are disjoint and therefore are
called parallel.
For each line [s, t] and each point (x, y ) there is a unique line
which passes through (x, y ) and is parallel to [s, t], i.e.
[s, y − s ∗ x].
