Twisted Zorn vector matrices (GPR 22.14) #
For M a k-module equipped with a pair of associated vector products
(Module.VectorProductPair), the twisted Zorn vector matrices are the formal matrices
[ρ₁ u*]
[v ρ₂], ρᵢ ∈ k, u* ∈ M*, v ∈ M,
multiplied by GPR (22.14.3)
[ρ₁ v*] [σ₁ w*] [ρ₁σ₁ - ⟨v*, w⟩ ρ₁w* + σ₂v* + v × w]
[v ρ₂] [w σ₂] = [σ₁v + ρ₂w + v* × w* ρ₂σ₂ - ⟨w*, v⟩ ],
Its norm is ρ₁ρ₂ + ⟨u*, v⟩ and its trace is ρ₁ + ρ₂.
With the usual conjugation, it is the octonion analogue of
Conic/../TwistedMatrix.lean:
there the off-diagonal entries multiply through the canonical pairing alone, here they also
multiply through the two vector products.
GPR 22.14 builds the pair of vector products from an orientation θ : ⋀³ M ≅ k of a
projective module of rank three, and calls the result Zor(M, θ). By GPR 22.15 (Petersson)
every reduced octonion algebra is one of these, and Zor(M, θ) is split when M is free
(GPR asserts only this implication).
What is proved here #
- the conic structure, its norm, trace and conjugation — for any
k-moduleMwith a vector product pair, and with no hypothesis on2; - regularity and non-singularity of the norm for
Mfinitely generated projective, and again not by a computation: the norm is the hyperbolic form ofk ⊕ M, pairing(ρ₁, u*)against(ρ₂, v), so the hyperbolic-form API applies with no basis and no rank hypothesis; - multiplicativity of the norm, which consumes the vector-product axioms exactly: the four
orthogonality identities kill four of the nine cross terms and Binet–Cauchy converts the ninth,
after which
n(xy) - n(x)n(y)is identically zero; - hence that it is a composition algebra, and a reduced one: the matrix unit
e₁₁ofGPR (22.14.7)is an elementary idempotent, soGPR 22.9applies to it. - alternativity for
Mfinitely generated projective: regularity makes the radical zero, so Kirmse's theorem applies to the multiplicative conic algebra, without a hypothesis on2.
Combined with Module.VectorProductPair.ofBasis, this produces a composition algebra of rank
eight over any commutative ring out of any free module of rank three — the split case, and the
case GPR 22.14's localization argument reduces to. The coordinate isomorphism
isomorphic_twistedZor_ofBasis proves that this free case is exactly Zor(k) from GPR 21.18.

Implementation notes #
⚠ The sign of the norm. GPR (22.14.4) prints n = ρ₁ρ₂ - ⟨u*, v⟩, but the norm of
these algebras is ρ₁ρ₂ + ⟨u*, v⟩, which is used here. The two cannot both be right:
the
multiplication GPR (22.14.3) specializes, for M = k³ with the standard orientation, to the
multiplication GPR (21.18.4) of ordinary Zorn vector matrices, whose norm is
ρ₁ρ₂ + u₁ᵀu₂ by GPR (21.18.6) — the sign difference from the quaternion case
GPR (22.12.1) is already present
in GPR, and comes from the diagonal entries of (22.14.3) carrying a minus sign where those of
(22.12.1) carry a plus. The + sign is also what the Peirce norm formula
ConicAlgebra.IsElementaryIdempotent.norm_peirceElement gives, under the identification of
C₁₂ with M* by the positive polar duality that GPR 22.15's own proof uses.
The multiplication is not the componentwise one, so TwistedZor is a type synonym; it is indexed
by the vector product pair P, not merely by M, because the multiplication depends on P. This
is the same device as ConicAlgebra.Cay, which is indexed by the conic structure and the scalar.
Orientation and converse #
Composition/Reduced/Orientation.lean constructs the pair from an orientation of a
constant-rank-three finite projective module over any commutative ring, by the unbased local
exterior-power duality argument in GPR 21.7. The converse GPR 22.15 is proved in
Composition/Reduced/RankEight.lean.

[x.2.2 x.2.1]
whose top row is x.1 = (ρ₁, u*) and whose bottom row is
(x.2.2, x.2.1) = (v, ρ₂). The grouping puts the two diagonal entries first in their pairs, so
that the norm is visibly the pairing of x.1 against x.2.

The norm #
n = ρ₁ρ₂ + ⟨u*, v⟩ pairs the top row against the bottom row, with the bottom row read in
k ⊕ M and the top row in its dual. That is what makes it hyperbolic, and it is why
no rank hypothesis and no basis is needed for non-singularity.

(k ⊕ M)* ⊕ (k ⊕ M), under which the norm becomes the hyperbolic form

ConicAlgebra.dualProdEquiv, which was chosen for the quaternion norm ρ₁ρ₂ - ⟨u*, v⟩ of
GPR (22.12.1).

GPR 22.14: the twisted Zorn vector matrices form a conic algebra, with norm
ρ₁ρ₂ + ⟨u*, v⟩ and trace ρ₁ + ρ₂. The degree-two identity uses only that the two
products are alternating; no other axiom, no hypothesis on M, and none on 2.

Instances For
The trace of a twisted Zorn vector matrix is the trace of the matrix, GPR (22.14.5).
The conjugation exchanges the diagonal entries and negates the off-diagonal ones,
GPR (22.14.6).
Non-singularity, multiplicativity, and the composition algebra #
The norm of the twisted Zorn vector matrices is non-singular for M finitely generated
projective: it is the hyperbolic form of k ⊕ M. No rank hypothesis and no hypothesis on
2.
The norm of the twisted Zorn vector matrices is regular for M finitely generated
projective: it is the hyperbolic form of k ⊕ M, transported along a linear equivalence. This is
stronger than the non-singularity needed for composition and requires no hypothesis on 2.
The twisted Zorn norm has zero radical when M is finitely generated projective.
The norm of the twisted Zorn vector matrices permits composition, n(xy) = n(x)n(y).
This is where the vector-product axioms are consumed, and they are consumed exactly: of the nine
terms of the off-diagonal pairing, four vanish by orthogonality of a product to its own arguments
and one is ⟨v × w, v* × w*⟩, which Binet–Cauchy turns into the two remaining products of
pairings; what is left cancels identically. No hypothesis on M.
GPR 22.14: twisted Zorn vector matrices are alternative when M is finitely generated
projective. The hyperbolic norm is regular, hence has zero radical, so Kirmse's theorem applies to
the multiplicative conic structure. No hypothesis on 2 and no direct Grassmann-identity
calculation is needed.
The twisted Zorn vector matrices form a composition algebra, for M finitely generated
projective carrying a vector product pair. With Module.VectorProductPair.ofBasis this gives a
composition algebra of rank eight over any commutative ring, with no hypothesis on 2; by
GPR 22.14 it is Zor(M, θ) whenever the pair comes from an orientation of a rank-three
module.
The twisted Zorn vector matrices are reduced. The matrix unit e₁₁ of
GPR (22.14.7) has norm 0 and trace 1, so it is an elementary idempotent and GPR 22.9
applies: the norm is
isotropic and the algebra contains a split quadratic étale subalgebra. No hypothesis on M.
The free case #
When the vector product pair comes from a basis of M, reading the two off-diagonal entries in
the coordinates of that basis and its dual identifies the twisted construction with Zor(k).
Thus Module.VectorProductPair.ofBasis produces exactly the split octonion algebra, independently
of the chosen basis.
The coordinate equivalence from the twisted Zorn algebra attached to a basis to the split Zorn
algebra. The lower-left entry uses the coordinates of b, while the upper-right entry uses the
coordinates of the dual basis.

Instances For
The free case of GPR 22.14: a twisted Zorn algebra whose vector products come from a
basis is isomorphic to the split Zorn algebra Zor(k) of GPR 21.18.
Any twisted Zorn algebra on a module admitting a basis of size three is split. Binet–Cauchy forces its vector-product pair to be the pair attached to a suitably rescaled basis.
Any twisted Zorn algebra on a module admitting a basis of size three satisfies the
rank-eight splitness clause of GPR 21.19(d).
A basis-built twisted Zorn algebra is alternative, because its coordinate equivalence
identifies its multiplication with that of the alternative algebra Zor(k). This proves the free
case of the alternativity assertion in GPR 22.14 without any hypothesis on 2.
A basis-built twisted Zorn algebra has rank eight.
The basis-built twisted Zorn algebra satisfies the rank-eight splitness clause of
