An overview on real division algebras
Gabriel Longatto Clemente · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2023
In this paper, we expose initial concepts of real division algebras, providing historical notes on $\R$, $\C$, $\Ham$ and $\Oct$. This is done to emphasize the relevance of topological K-theory through the Bott-Milnor-Kervaire Theorem, which is at the end. For completeness, we also present some classical results about the main algebras.
