Tits construction of the exceptional simple Lie algebras

Rings and Algebras 2009-07-23 v1

Abstract

The classical Tits construction of the exceptional simple Lie algebras has been extended in a couple of directions by using either Jordan superalgebras or composition superalgebras. These extensions are reviewed here. The outcome has been the discovery of some new simple modular Lie superalgebras.
