The algebras considered here arose in the investigation of an algebra connected with the orthogonal group. We consider an algebra of dimension mn over a field K of characteristic zero, and possessing a basis {eij} (1 ≤ im; 1 ≤ jn) with the multiplication property

1,

The field elements ϕij form a matrix Φ = (ϕij) of order n × m. It will be called the multiplication matrix of the algebra relative to the basis {ϕij}.
