Trialitarian triples

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Trialitarian triples are triples of central simple algebras of degree 8 with orthogonal involution that provide a convenient structure for the representation of trialitarian algebraic groups as automorphism groups. This paper explicitly describes the canonical "trialitarian isomorphisms between the spin groups of the algebras with involution involved in a trialitarian triple, using a rationally defined shift operator that cyclically permutes the algebras. The construction relies on compositions of quadratic spaces of dimension 8, which yield all the trialitarian triples of split algebras. No restriction on the characteristic of the base field is needed.
