The octonions form an Azumaya algebra in certain braided linear Gr-categories

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

By applying the idea of viewing the octonions as an associative algebra in certain tensor categories, or more precisely as a twisted group algebra by a 2-cochain, we show that the octonions form an Azumaya algebra in some suitable braided linear Gr-categories.
