Recent Advances for Meson Algebras and their Lipschitz Monoids

This article has two purposes. After a short reminder of classical properties of meson algebras (also called Duffin-Kemmer algebras), Sects. 4 to 7 present recent advances in the study of their algebraic structure. Then Sects. 8 to 11 explain that each meson algebra contains a Lipschitz monoid with properties quite similar to those of Lipschitz monoids in Clifford algebras.
