Seven-dimensional cross product

Mathematics concept In mathematics, the seven-dimensional cross product is a bilinear operation on vectors in seven-dimensional Euclidean space. It assigns to any two vectors a, b in R 7 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{7}} a vector a × b also in R 7 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{7}} .[1] Like the cross product in three dimensions, the seven-dimensional product is anticommutative and a × b is orthogonal both to a and to b. Unlike in three dimensions, it does not satisfy the Jacobi identi...
