ABSTRACT
Let https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203756478/4cadc9cc-32ae-4840-8f83-07e1ed499955/content/pg25_2.tif"/> be the Lie algebra of skew linear transformations relative to the norm form of a Cayley algebra. We recall that such norm forms can be characterized by the property of composition: n(x)n(y) = n(xy). We have defined the automorphisms https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203756478/4cadc9cc-32ae-4840-8f83-07e1ed499955/content/pg25_3.tif"/> in https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203756478/4cadc9cc-32ae-4840-8f83-07e1ed499955/content/pg25_4.tif"/> by the principle of local triality (17)⋅ Also we have the automorphism https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203756478/4cadc9cc-32ae-4840-8f83-07e1ed499955/content/pg25_5.tif"/> where π = π−1 is the conjugation in https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203756478/4cadc9cc-32ae-4840-8f83-07e1ed499955/content/pg25_6.tif"/> .
