Definition 2
An algebra with a non-degenerate associative scalar product is
called ''pre-Frobenius''.
We may consider the problem where multiplication Y is given,
and look for all associative scalar products U = U(Y)
or we
may consider an scalar product U as given, and look for all
algebras Y=Y(U) such that the scalar product is associative.
This problem can be solved using linear algebra.

The matrix K
transforms the coefficients of the tensor Y
into coefficients of the tensor UA
. We are looking for
coefficients of the tensor U
such that K
transforms Y
into UA=0
for any Y
.
A necessary condition for the equation to have a non-trivial
solution is that the matrix K
be degenerate.
Theorem 1
The scalar product of all 2-dimensional pre-Frobenius
algebras is symmetric.

above.
