  • 35Frobenius 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. The theorem proves that the only… …
