About Nonassociativity in Mathematics and Physics

About Nonassociativity in Mathematics and Physics A short review about nonassociative algebraic systems (mainly nonassociative algebras) and their physical applications is presented. We begin with some motivations, then we give a brief historical overview about the formation and development of the concept of hypercomplex number system and about some earlier applications. The main directions discussed are the octonionic, Lie-admissible, and quasigroup approaches. Also, some problems investigated in Tartu, the octonionic approach, Moufang–Mal'tsev symmetry, and associator quantization are discussed. This review does not pretend to be complete as the accent is placed on ideas and not on the techniques, also the references are quite sporadic (there are many authors and results mentioned in the text without references). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Applicandae Mathematicae Springer Journals

Abstract

A short review about nonassociative algebraic systems (mainly nonassociative algebras) and their physical applications is presented. We begin with some motivations, then we give a brief historical overview about the formation and development of the concept of hypercomplex number system and about some earlier applications. The main directions discussed are the octonionic, Lie-admissible, and quasigroup approaches. Also, some problems investigated in Tartu, the octonionic approach, Moufang–Mal'tsev symmetry, and associator quantization are discussed. This review does not pretend to be complete as the accent is placed on ideas and not on the techniques, also the references are quite sporadic (there are many authors and results mentioned in the text without references).
