In den Nachrichten der k. Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Gottingen vom Jahre 1898, S. 309–316 [diese Werke, Bd. II, S. 365 – 571] habe ich die folgende Aufgabe behandelt: Es seien φ, ψ, χ gegebene quadratische Formen von je n Variablen. Die Determinanten der drei Formen seien von Null verschieden. Man soll nun die Gleichung $$\varphi \left( {{x_1},{x_2},...,{x_n}} \right) \cdot \Psi \left( {{y_1},{y_2},...,{y_n}} \right) = \chi \left( {{z_1},{z_2},...,{z_n}} \right)$$ (1) auf die… Expand

In [15] the authors have reformulated, in the language of Clifford algebras, the Hurwitz problem[10] of finding all the pairs of positive integers (n, p) and all the systems $$\mathopExpand Gastineau-Hills’ Quasi-Clifford Algebras and Plug-In Constructions for Hadamard Matrices The quasi-Clifford algebras as described by Gastineau-Hills in 1980 and 1982, should be better known, and have only recently been rediscovered. These algebras and their representation theory provideExpand An Asymptotic Bound on the Composition Number of Integer Sums of Squares Formulas • Mathematics • Canadian Mathematical Bulletin • 2013 Abstract Let {{\sigma }_{\mathbb{Z}}}\left( k \right) be the smallest n such that there exists an identity$$\left( x_{1}^{2}\,+\,x_{2}^{2}\,+\,\cdot \cdot \cdot \,+\,x_{k}^{2} \right)\,\cdotExpand
We introduce O-systems (Definition \ref{DO}) of orthogonal transformations of ${\Bbb R}^{m}$, and establish $1-1$ correspondences both between equivalence classes of Clifford systems and that ofExpand
Sextonions, Zorn matrices, and $$\mathbf {e}_{\mathbf{7} \frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{2}}}$$e712

By exploiting suitably constrained Zorn matrices, we present a new construction of the algebra of sextonions (over the algebraically closed field $$\mathbb {C}$$C). This allows for an explicitExpand
A Series of Algebras Generalizing the Octonions and Hurwitz-Radon Identity

We study non-associative twisted group algebras over $${(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n}$$ with cubic twisting functions. We construct a series of algebras that extend the classical algebra of octonions in the sameExpand

Let $m,n\geq 3$, $(m-1)(n-1)+2\leq p\leq mn$, and $u=mn-p$. The set $\mathbb{R}^{u\times n\times m}$ of all real tensors with size $u\times n\times m$ is one to one corresponding to the set ofExpand

We consider a family, $\mathcal{F}$, of subsets of an $n$-set such that the cardinality of the symmetric difference of any two elements $F,F'\in\mathcal{F}$ is not a multiple of 4. We prove that theExpand

It is conjecture that $\hbox{rk} (e_{1}^{2})+\hbox(e_{2}^{ 2)+\cdots+\ hbox{ rk}(e_k}^2})\leq O(n\log n)$, and some results in this direction are proved. Expand

A connection between the (non)existence of real orthogonal tensors of order three and the classical Hurwitz problem on composition algebras can be established: existence of Orthogonal Tensors of size is equivalent to the admissibility of the triple $[\ell,m,n]$ to the Hurwitzproblem. Expand
