Sixteen-dimensional Sedenion-like Associative Algebra

In this article, we construct a $16$-dimensional sedenion-like associative algebra, which is an even subalgebra of $2^5$-dimensional Clifford algebra $Cl_{5,0}$. We define the norm on sedenion-like algebra and show that its sixteen-dimensional elements preserves the norm relation $\lVert ST \rVert=\lVert S \rVert \lVert T \rVert$ under the condition $S_rS_d^\dagger + S_r^\dagger S_d=0$, where $S_r,~S_d$ denote the real and dual part of an octonion-like number $S$ respectively and $S^\dagger$ is the transpose of $S$. The elements of this sedenion-like algebra can be written as dual octonion like numbers called split bioctonion-like algebra and $S S^\dagger$ is commutative [i.e. $S S^\dagger=S^\dagger S $ and $(S S^\dagger) T=T(S S^\dagger )$], for any two octonion-like/sedenion-like numbers $S$ and $T$. We define the operations coproduct $\bigtriangleup$, counit $ε$ and antipode $S$ on octonion-like/sedenion-like algebra to construct the Hopf algebra structure on it. We also show that $8$-dimensional octonion-like associative seminormed division algebra is a $\mathbb{Z}_2^4/2$-graded quasialgebra and $16$ dimensional sedenion-like algebra is a $\mathbb{Z}_2^5/2$-graded quasialgebra.
