Arithmetics in Cayley's algebra

P. J. C. Lamont · Proceedings of the Glasgow Mathematical Association · 1963

Let C denote Cayley's algebra defined over the field of rational numbers. This paper contains a simple characterization of arithmetics of C in terms of a given basis i0 = 1, i1, i2, …, i7. We deduce that certain of the arithmetics of C are isomorphic. The result that the maximal arithmetics are isomorphic is also contained in the work of van der Blij and Springer [2].
