Octave recurrence relations
We define a type of biquandle which is a generalization of symplectic quandles. We use the extra structure of these bilinear biquandles to define new knot and link invariants and give some examples.
It is well known that for the ring H(ℤ) of integral quaternions the unit group U(H(ℤ) is finite. On the other hand, for the rational quaternion algebra H(ℚ), its unit group is infinite and even contains a nontrivial free subgroup. In this note (see Theorem 1.5 and Corollary 2.6) we find all intermediate rings ℤ ⊂ A ⊆ ℚ such that the group of units U(H(A)) of quaternions over A contains a nontrivial free subgroup. In each case we indicate such a subgroup explicitly. We do our best to keep the arguments...
Let A ⊆ ℚ be any subring. We extend our earlier results on unit groups of the standard quaternion algebra H(A) to units of certain rings of generalized quaternions H(A,a,b) = ((-a,-b)/A), where a,b ∈ A. Next we show that there is an algebra embedding of the ring H(A,a,b) into the algebra of standard Cayley numbers over A. Using this embedding we answer a question asked in the first part of this paper.
In this paper the structure of the maximal elements of the lattice of subalgebras of central simple non-Lie Malcev algebras is considered. Such maximal subalgebras are studied in two ways: first by using theoretical results concerning Malcev algebras, and second by using the close connection between these simple non-Lie Malcev algebras and the Cayley-Dickson algebras, which have been extensively studied (see [4]).
On définit plusieurs opérades différentielles graduées, dont certaines en relation avec des familles de polytopes : les simplexes et les permutoèdres. On obtient également une présentation de l’opérade liée aux associaèdres introduite dans un article antérieur.
