Associative Cayley–Dickson imaginaroid extension conjecture
Associative Cayley–Dickson imaginaroid extension conjecture
Let be a Cayley-Dickson imaginaroid, and suppose that the multiplication on its suspension is associative, together with some further, currently unspecified, coherence conditions. Define
Cayley–Dickson extension conjecture. The space can be given the structure of a Cayley-Dickson imaginaroid; moreover, this structure is associative if is commutative.
This proposes an inductive extension of the Cayley–Dickson construction in homotopy type theory. The unspecified coherence conditions are part of the conjectural content, so the precise scope and validity of the assertion remain open.
