Resumen de Some special features of Cayley algebras, and G2, in low characteristics
Alonso Castillo Ramirez, Alberto Carlos Elduque Palomo 
Some features of Cayley algebras (or algebras of octonions) and their Lie algebras of derivations over fields of low characteristic are presented. More specifically, over fields of characteristic 7, explicit embeddings of any twisted form of the Witt algebra into the simple split Lie algebra of type G2 are given. Over fields of characteristic 3, even though the Lie algebra of derivations of a Cayley algebra is not simple, it is shown that still two Cayley algebras are isomorphic if and only if their Lie algebras of derivations are isomorphic. Finally, over fields of characteristic 2, it is shown that the Lie algebra of derivations of any Cayley algebra does not depend on the Cayley algebra as it is always isomorphic to the projective special linear Lie algebra of degree four. The twisted forms of this latter algebra are described too. Any such form is, up to isomorphism, the second derived power of the Lie algebra of skew elements relative to a symplectic involution in a central simple associative algebra of degree six.
