چکیده
In this paper we give methods to construct zero divisors in the Cayley–Dickson algebras An=R 2 for n larger than 4. Also we relate the set of zero divisors with suitable Stiefel manifolds.

Large Annihilators in Cayley-dickson Algebras
Cayley-Dickson algebras are non-associative R-algebras that generalize the well-known algebras R, C, H, and O. We study zero-divisors in these algebras. In particular, we show that the annihilator of any element of the 2n-dimensional Cayley-Dickson algebra has dimension at most 2n−4n+4. Moreover, every multiple of 4 between 0 and this upper bound occurs as the dimension of some annihilator. Alt...

We establish many previously unknown properties of zero-divisors in Cayley-Dickson algebras. The basic approach is to use a certain splitting that simplifies computations surprisingly.

متن کاملThe zero divisors of the Cayley–Dickson algebras over the real numbers
In this paper we describe algebraically the zero divisors of the Cayley Dickson algebras An = R n for n ≥ 4 over the real numbers. Introduction. The Cayley–Dickson algebra An over R is an algebra structure on R2n given inductively by the formulae: Let x = (x1, x2) and y = (y1, y2) in R n = R2 × R2 then xy = (x1y1 − y2x2, y2x1 + x2y1) where x = (x1,−x2). Therefore A0 = R,A1 = C complex numbers, ...
متن کاملMonomorphisms between Cayley-Dickson Algebras
In this paper we study the algebra monomorphisms from Am = R 2m into An = R 2n for 1 ≤ m ≤ n, where An are the Cayley-Dickson algebras. For n ≥ 4, we show that there are many types of monomorphisms and we describe them in terms of the zero divisors in An.
