Abstract

We classify, by means of the orthogonal group 𝒪7(ℝ), all eight-dimensional real absolute-valued algebras with left unit, and we solve the isomorphism problem. We give an example of those algebras which contain no four-dimensional subalgebras and characterise with the use of the automorphism group those algebras which contain one.
