Dyson's Classification And Real Division Superalgebras.

It is well-known that unitary irreducible representations of groups can be usefully classified in a 3-fold classification scheme: Real, Complex, Quaternionic. In 1962 Freeman Dyson pointed out that there is an analogous 10-fold classification of irreducible representations of groups involving both unitary and antiunitary operators. More recently it was realized that there is also a 10-fold classification scheme involving superdivision algebras. Here we give a careful proof of the equivalence of these two 10-fold ways.
