associator function

Various non-field diagnostics

Diagnostics of non-field behaviour: threeform, associator, commutator

threeform(x1, x2, x3)
associator(x1, x2, x3)
commutator(x1, x2)

Arguments

• x1,x2,x3: onionic vectors

Details

The threeform is defined as Re(x1 * (Conj(x2) * x3) - x3 * (Conj(x2) * x1))/2;

the associator is (x1 * x2) * x3 - x1 * (x2 * x3);

the commutator is x1 * x2 - x2 * x1.

Returns

Returns an octonionic vector
