We show that every 4-dimensional real division algebra having non-zero derivations is obtained from the real algebra C by a special kind of duplication process accompanied by an appropriate isotopy. Also this process produces new examples in dimension 8.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
