The Hermitian Level of Composition Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
The hermitian level of composition algebras with involution over a ring is studied. In particular, it is shown that the hermitian level of a composition algebra with standard involution over a semilocal ring, where two is invertible, is always a power of two when finite. Furthermore, any power of two can occur as the hermitian level of a composition algebra with nonstandard involution. Some bounds are obtained for the hermitian level of a composition algebra with involution of the second kind.

Weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued bounded functions
In this paper, we study weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued bounded functions on metric spaces, not necessarily compact. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the injectivity and the surjectivity of these operators. We also obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for a weighted composition operator between these spaces to be compact.
متن کاملProjective planes over quadratic 2-dimensional algebras
The split version of the Freudenthal-Tits magic square stems from Lie theory and constructs a Lie algebra starting from two split composition algebras [5, 20, 21]. The geometries appearing in the second row are Severi varieties [24]. We provide an easy uniform axiomatization of these geometries and related ones, over an arbitrary field. In particular we investigate the entry A2 × A2 in the magi...
متن کاملA Generalized Composition of Quadratic Forms based on Quadratic Pairs
For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on quadratic pairs and determine the degrees of minimal compositions for any given quadratic pair.
متن کاملMagic Squares and Matrix Models of Lie Algebras
This paper is concerned with the description of exceptional simple Lie algebras as octonionic analogues of the classical matrix Lie algebras. We review the Tits-Freudenthal construction of the magic square, which includes the exceptional Lie algebras as the octonionic case of a construction in terms of a Jordan algebra of hermitian 3× 3 matrices (Tits) or various plane and other geometries (Fre...
متن کاملWeighted Composition Operators Between Extended Lipschitz Algebras on Compact Metric Spaces
In this paper, we provide a complete description of weighted composition operators between extended Lipschitz algebras on compact metric spaces. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the injectivity and the sujectivity of these operators. We also obtain some sufficient conditions and some necessary conditions for a weighted composition operator between these spaces to be compact.
