Octonionic M-theory and D=11 generalized conformal and superconformal algebras
Abstract
Following [1] we further apply the octonionic structure to supersymmetric D=11 -theory. We consider the octonionic Dirac matrices describing the sequence of Clifford algebras with signatures () () and derive the identities following from the octonionic multiplication table. The case ( octonion-valued matrices) is used for the description of the D=11 octonionic superalgebra with 52 real bosonic charges; the case ( octonion-valued matrices) for the D=11 conformal algebra with 232 real bosonic charges. The octonionic structure is described explicitly for by the relations between the 528 Abelian O(10,1) tensorial charges of the -superalgebra. For we obtain 2080 real non-Abelian bosonic tensorial charges which, suitably constrained describe the generalized D=11 octonionic conformal algebra. Further, we consider the supersymmetric extension of this octonionic conformal algebra which can be described as D=11 octonionic superconformal algebra with a total number of 64 real fermionic and 239 real bosonic generators.
