On the dimension and other numerical invariants of
algebras and vector products
Tensor categorical and diagrammatic techniques
used in the theory of knot invariants can be applied to
compute the dimension and other numerical invariants for
certain algebraic structures defined by tensor identities.
These techniques are described, and applied to symmetric
composition algebras and 3-vector products.
