Bott type periodicity for the higher octonions

Abstract: We study the series of complex nonassociative algebras On and real nonassociative algebras

O_{p, q}

introduced in [10]. These algebras generalize the classical algebras of octonions and Clifford algebras. The algebras

O_{n}

and

O_{p, q}

with

p + q = n

have a natural

Z_{n}^{2}

-grading, and they are characterized by cubic forms over the field

Z_{2}

. We establish a periodicity for the algebras

O_{n}

and

O_{p, q}

similar to that of the Clifford algebras Cln and

C l_{p, q}

.
