Наслов предавања: REAL DIVISION ALGEBRAS

Апстракт: In this talk I shall give an introduction to real division algebras. Division algebras are a type of not necessarily associative algebraic structures that generalizes well-known objects such as the real and complex numbers. Several interesting algebraic structures, including the quaternion and octonion algebras, arise in this way. While most of these new structures do not satisfy the commutative and associative laws, some of them still have important applications in geometry and physics, as well as computer graphics and coding theory.

In my talk I will introduce some of the more classical structures, along with some classification results. If time permits, I will also present some more recent developments and open research problems in the field.
