A note about algebras obtained by the Cayley-Dickson process

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the concepts of level and sublevels of a composition algebra to algebras obtained by the Cayley-Dickson process. In 1967, R. B. Brown constructed, for every t∈N,t\in \Bbb{N}, a division algebra AtA_{t} of dimension 2t2^{t} over the power-series field K{X1,X2,...,Xt}.K\{X_{1},X_{2},...,X_{t}\}. This gives us the possibility to construct a division algebra of dimension 2t^{t} and prescribed level 2k^{k} k,t∈N∗. k, t\in \Bbb{N}^{*}.
