A note on Frobenius-Zorn’s Theorem

We study the nonzero algebraic real algebras \( A \) with no nonzero joint divisor of zero. We prove that if \( Z(A) \neq 0 \) and \( A \) satisfies one of the Moufang identities, then \( A \) is isomorphic to \( \mathbb{R} \), \( \mathbb{C} \), \( \mathbb{H} \), or \( \mathbb{O} \). We show also that if \( A \) is power-associative, flexible, and satisfies the identity \( (a,a,[a,b])=0 \), then \( A \) is isomorphic to \( \mathbb{R} \), \( \mathbb{C} \), \( \mathbb{H} \), or \( \mathbb{O} \). Finally, we prove that \( \mathbb{R} \), \( \mathbb{C} \), \( \mathbb{H} \), and \( \mathbb{O} \) are the only algebraic real algebras with no nonzero divisor of zero satisfying the middle Moufang identity, or the right and left Moufang identities.

Abstract

We study the nonzero algebraic real algebras \( A \) with no nonzero joint divisor of zero. We prove that if \( Z(A) \neq 0 \) and \( A \) satisfies one of the Moufang identities, then \( A \) is isomorphic to \( \mathbb{R} \), \( \mathbb{C} \), \( \mathbb{H} \), or \( \mathbb{O} \). We show also that if \( A \) is power-associative, flexible, and satisfies the identity \( (a,a,[a,b])=0 \), then \( A \) is isomorphic to \( \mathbb{R} \), \( \mathbb{C} \), \( \mathbb{H} \), or \( \mathbb{O} \). Finally, we prove that \( \mathbb{R} \), \( \mathbb{C} \), \( \mathbb{H} \), and \( \mathbb{O} \) are the only algebraic real algebras with no nonzero divisor of zero satisfying the middle Moufang identity, or the right and left Moufang identities.
