This category contains results about the Cayley-Dickson construction on $*$-algebras.
Let $A = \struct {A_F, \oplus}$ be a $*$-algebra.
The Cayley-Dickson Construction on $A$ is the procedure which generates a new algebra $A'$ from $A$ as follows.
Let:
- $A' = \struct {A'_F, \oplus'} = \struct {A, \oplus}^2$
where $\struct {A, \oplus}^2$ denotes the Cartesian product of $\struct {A, \oplus}$ with itself.
Then $\oplus'$ and $*'$ are defined on $A'$ as follows:
- $\tuple {a, b} \oplus' \tuple {c, d} = \tuple {a \oplus c - d \oplus b^*, a^* \oplus d + c \oplus b}$
- ${\tuple {a, b}^*}' = \tuple {a^*, -b}$
where:
- $\tuple {a, b}, \tuple {c, d} \in A'$
- $a^*$ is the conjugation of $a \in A$.
