Abstract

We present algebraic and geometric classifications of the 4-dimensional complex nilpotent right alternative algebras. Specifically, we find that, up to isomorphism, there are only 9 non-isomorphic nontrivial nilpotent right alternative algebras. The corresponding geometric variety has dimension 13 and it is determined by the Zariski closure of 4 rigid algebras and one one-parametric family of algebras.
