Frobenius theorem (real division algebras)

In mathematics, more specifically in abstract algebra, the Frobenius theorem, proved by Ferdinand Georg Frobenius in 1877, characterizes the finite-dimensional associative division algebras over the real numbers. According to the theorem, every such algebra is isomorphic to one of the following: * R (the real numbers) * C (the complex numbers) * H (the quaternions). These algebras have dimensions 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Of these three algebras, R and C are commutative, but H is not.
