Quaternion Algebras and the Algebraic Legacy of Hamilton's Quaternions
We describe the basic definitions and fundamen- tal properties of quaternion algebras over fields and proceed to give an account of how Hamilton's 1843 discovery of the quaternions was a major turning point in the subject of al- gebra. Noncommutative algebra started here! We will em- phasize especially the theory of division algebras and other kinds of

On separable extensions of group rings and quaternion rings
The purposes of the present paper are (1) to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniqueness of the separable idempotent for a separable group ring extension RG(R may be a non-commutative ring), and (2) to give a full description of the set ...

Creating 3, 4, 6 and 10-dimensional spacetime from W3 symmetry
We describe a model where breaking of W3 symmetry will lead to the emergence of time and subsequently of space. Surprisingly the simplest such models which lead to higher dimensional spacetimes are based on the four “magical” Jordan algebras of 3×3 ...

Computing square roots in quaternion algebras [PDF]
We present an explicit algorithmic method for computing square roots in quaternion algebras over global fields of characteristic different from 2.Comment: Final version of the paper formatted by the editorial board to appear in Fundamenta ...

Let k be a field of characteristic not equal to 2, and let L be a finite field extension of k. Then a Lie algebra G is quaternionic if there is a quaternion division algebra Q over L such that G is isomorphic to the k- Lie-algebra \(Q^-/L1\). The main theorem of the paper gives equivalent conditions for a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a perfect ...

On the linkage of quaternion algebras
Let \(B\) and \(C\) be quaternion algebras over a field \(F\). A well known theorem [\textit{A. A. Albert}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 35, 65-66 (1972; Zbl 0263.16012), \textit{C.-H. Sah}, J. Algebra 20, 144-160 (1972; Zbl 0226.15010)] states that \(B\otimes_FC\) is a division algebra if and only if \(B\) and \(C\) have no common quadratic splitting field ...

Generalized Quaternions and Matrix Algebra
In this paper, we established the connection between generalized quaternion algebra and real (complex) matrix algebras by using Hamilton operators. We obtained real and complex matrices corresponding to the real and complex basis of the generalized quaternions. Also, we investigated the basis features of real and complex matrices. We get Pauli matrices

Selectivity in quaternion algebras
We prove an integral version of the classical Albert-Brauer-Hasse-Noether theorem regarding quaternion algebras over number fields. Let $\mathfrak A$ be a quaternion algebra over a number field $K$ and assume that $\mathfrak A$ satisfies the Eichler condition; that is, there exists an archimedean prime of $K$ which does not ramify in $\mathfrak A$. Let
