The split-octonion extension of Theorem 5.1

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let OO be a split-octonion algebra, and let f:O→Of:O\rightarrow O be an additive map. Write O×O^\times for the set of invertible elements of OO. Split-octonion extension conjecture. Is Theorem 5.1 still true for D=OD=O, namely, does every additive map satisfying

f(x)=−x2f(x−1)f(x)=-x^2f(x^{-1})

for every x∈O×x\in O^\times necessarily satisfy f(x)=0f(x)=0 for all x∈Ox\in O? The question concerns whether the corresponding result extends from noncommutative alternative division rings to split-octonion algebras; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
