A structure constant algebra A of dimension n over a ring R can be defined in Magma by giving the n^3 structure constants a_(ij)^k in R ( 1 <= i, j, k <= n) such that, if (e_1, e_2, ..., e_n) is the basis of A, e_i * e_j = sum_(k = 1)^n a_(ij)^k * e_k. Structure constant algebras may be defined over any unital ring R. However, many operations require that R be a Euclidean domain or even a field.
