摘要
A vexing problem involving nonassociativity is resolved, allowing a generalization of the usual complex Mobius transformations to the octonions. This is accomplished by relating the octonionic Mobius transformations to the Lorentz group in ten space-time dimensions. The result will be of particular interest to physicists working with lightlike objects in ten dimensions.
