Abstract:

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra (not necessarily associative) over a field $K$. Then $A$ is said to be homogeneous if $\operatorname {Aut} (A)$ acts transitively on the one-dimensional subspaces of $A$. If $A$ is homogeneous and $K$ is algebraically closed, then it is shown that either ${A^2} = 0$ or $\dim A = 1$.
