Title: Composition algebras and Cayley-Dickson doubling
Time, day and date: 4:00:00 PM - 5:30:00 PM, Wednesday, July 22
Venue: Room No .105
Abstract: Composition algebras are finite dimensional real algebras endowed with a positive-definite multiplicative quadratic form. We see the classification of such algebras using the Cayley-Dickson doubling process.
