Okubo algebras with isotropic norm

Abstract: Okubo algebras form an important class of nonunital composition algebras of dimension 8. Contrary to what happens for unital composition algebras, they are not determined by their multiplicative norms. Okubo algebras with isotropic norm are characterized here by the existence of a special grading. In the split case, and under some restrictions on the ground field, the automorphism group of the most symmetric of these gradings is the projective unitary group PU(3,4), whose structure is showcased by the grading.
