FROBENIUS AND HURWITZ THEOREMS ABOUT REAL DIVISION ALGEBRAS
Abstract
This work aims to present a proximity between the algebras of the complexes C, of the quaternions H, of the octonions O with the algebra of reals R. To do so, we will describe tools for the demonstrations of the theorems of Frobenius and Hurwitz, where the first one says that the algebras R, C e H are the only divisions algebras over the reals where multiplications is associative (such as algebras are called
associative) and the second states that algebras R, C, H and O are the only ones division algebras
with identity element in which it is possible to define a norm compatible with the multiplication.
