We investigate criteria for von-Neumann finiteness and reversibility in some classes of non-associative algebras. Types of algebras that are studied include alternative, flexible, quadratic and involutive algebras, as well as algebras obtained by the Cayley–Dickson doubling process. Our results include precise criteria for von-Neumann finiteness and reversibility of involutive algebras in terms of isomorphism types of their 3-dimensional subalgebras. © 2020, The Author(s).
