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 $C{l}_{p,q}$.

Review text

\textit{S. Morier-Genoud} and \textit{V. Ovsienko} [Commun. Math. Phys. 306, No. 1, 83--118 (2011; Zbl 1226.17002)] have defined series of non-commutative and non-associative algebras \(\mathbb{O}_{p,q}\) over reals and \(\mathbb{O}_{n}\) over complex numbers which generalize the algebra of octonions \(\mathbb{O}\). The classification of real algebras \(\mathbb{O} _{p,q}\) has been studied by \textit{M. Kreusch} and \textit{S. Morier-Genoud} [Commun. Algebra 43, No. 9, 3799--3815 (2015; Zbl 1377.17006)]. The author researches the periodicity of the real algebras \(\mathbb{O}_{p,q}\) and the complex algebras \(\mathbb{O}_{n}\). In the real case, the result follows the same ideas as for real Clifford algebras. However, in the complex case, the periodicity modulo \(4\) is found, not modulo \(2\), which holds for complex Clifford algebras. The author uses the very helpful method of triangulated graphs.
