Abstract: | Classical composition algebras, with a unit element, are well-known and can be obtained by means of the Cayley-Dickson doubling
process. If the condition on the existence of unit element is dropped, many new algebras arise. However, it is shown in this
paper that if such a weak condition as the associativity of third powers of any element is imposed, only the known flexible
composition algebras appear.
