Abstract

The 8 ×\times 8 matrix representation of SO(8) Symmetry has been defined by using the direct product of Pauli matrices and Gamma matrices. These 8 ×\times 8 matrices are being used to describe the rotations in SO(8) symmetry. The comparison of 8×\times8 matrices with octonions has also been shown. The transformations of SO(8) symmetry are represented with the help of Octonions and split Octonions spinors.
