• A series of algebras generalizing the Octonions and Hurwitz-Radon Identity 

      [OWP-2010-10] Morier-Genoud, Sophie; Ovsienko, Valentin (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We study non-associative twisted group algebras over $(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n$ with cubic twisting functions. We construct a series of algebras that extend the classical algebra of octonions in the same way as the Clifford algebras ...
    • Supertropical linear algebra 

      [OWP-2010-14] Izhakian, Zur; Knebusch, Manfred; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      The objective of this paper is to lay out the algebraic theory of supertropical vector spaces and linear algebra, utilizing the key antisymmetric relation of "ghost surpasses." Special attention is paid to the various ...
    • Supertropical Matrix Algebra III : Powers of Matrices and Generalized Eigenspaces 

      [OWP-2010-20] Izhakian, Zur; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We investigate powers of supertropical matrices, with special attention to the role of the coefficients of the supertropical characteristic polynomial (especially the supertropical trace) in controlling the rank of a power ...
