Abstract

Rosenfeld postulated ``generalized'' projective planes, which exploit a correspondence between rank-one idempotents of Jordan algebras J3(A)\mathfrak{J}_3(\mathbb{A}) and points of projective planes AP2\mathbb{A}P^2. The isometry groups of the generalized projective planes (which were later defined rigorously as homogeneous spaces) are entries of the Tits-Freudenthal magic square. Given recent interest in the Dixon algebra RCHO\mathbb{R}\otimes\mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{H}\otimes\mathbb{O}, we extend Rosenfeld's approach and present three new coset manifolds. These "Dixon-Rosenfeld planes" have isometry algebras that are obtained from Tits' magic formula and involve all tensorial components of the Dixon algebra. We show that these are the only three planes obtainable with Tits' formula that preserve the analogy with Rosenfeld's planes. These non-simple Lie algebras generalize f4,e6,e7\mathfrak{f}_{4},\mathfrak{e}_{6},\mathfrak{e}_{7} and e8\mathfrak{e}_{8} for the octonionic plane OP2\mathbb{O}P^{2} and in the octonionic Rosenfeld planes (CO)P2\left(\mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{O}\right)P^{2}, (HO)P2\left(\mathbb{H}\otimes\mathbb{O}\right)P^{2} and (OO)P2\left(\mathbb{O}\otimes\mathbb{O}\right)P^{2}. We finally investigate the relationships between the isometry algebras of the Dixon-Rosenfeld planes and the exceptional Lie algebras.
