Complex supermanifold structures being deformations of the exterior algebra of a holomorphic vector bundle, have been parametrized by orbits of a group on non-abelian cohomology by P. Green. For the case of odd dimension $4$ and $5$ an…
The exceptional euclidean Jordan algebra of 3x3 hermitian octonionic matrices, appears to be tailor made for the internal space of the three generations of quarks and leptons. The maximal rank subgroup of its automorphism group F4 that…
We present the simplest, string-derivable, supergravity model and discuss its experimental consequences. This model is a new string-inspired flipped $SU(5)$ which unifies at the string scale $M_U=10^{18}\GeV$ due to the introduction of an…
I consider a class of Grand Unified models, in which E8 is broken to SU(3)xSU(2)xSU(2)xSU(2)xU(1)_Y, then to SU(3)xSU(2)_{diag}xU(1)_Y. The breaking of (SU(2))^3 to SU(2)_{diag} reduces the SU(2) coupling constant, at unification, by a…
Let $G\subset GL(V)$ be a linear Lie group with Lie algebra $\frak g$ and let $A(\frak g)^G$ be the subalgebra of $G$-invariant elements of the associative supercommutative algebra $A(\frak g)= S(\frak g^*)\otimes \La(V^*)$. To any…
Given a complex manifold $M$ equipped with a holomorphic action of a connected complex Lie group $G$, and a holomorphic principal $H$--bundle $E_H$ over $X$ equipped with a $G$--connection $h$, we investigate the connections on the…
We consider the Cartan subalgebra of any very extended algebra G+++ where G is a simple Lie algebra and let the parameters be space-time fields. These are identified with diagonal metrics and dilatons. Using the properties of the algebra,…
Supergravity theories in more than four dimensions with grand unified gauge symmetries are an important intermediate step towards the ultraviolet completion of the Standard Model in string theory. Using toric geometry, we classify and…
We construct the Green-Schwarz terms of six-dimensional supergravity theories on spacetimes with non-trivial topology and gauge bundle. We prove the cancellation of all global gauge and gravitational anomalies for theories with gauge groups…
A universal C*-algebra of the electromagnetic field is constructed. It is represented in any quantum field theory which incorporates electromagnetism and expresses basic features of this field such as Maxwell's equations, Poincar\'e…
Gravitation theory is formulated as gauge theory on natural bundles with spontaneous symmetry breaking where gauge symmetries are general covariant transformations, gauge fields are general linear connections, and Higgs fields are…
We give the supersymmetric extension of exceptional field theory for E$_{7(7)}$, which is based on a $(4+56)$-dimensional generalized spacetime subject to a covariant constraint. The fermions are tensors under the local Lorentz group ${\rm…
Classical affine Lie algebras appear e.g. as symmetries of infinite dimensional integrable systems and are related to certain differential equations. They are central extensions of current algebras associated to finite-dimensional Lie…
We introduce and develop the model-theoretic notions of absolute connectedness and type-absolute connectedness for groups. We prove that groups of rational points of split semisimple linear groups (that is, Chevalley groups) over arbitrary…
In this note we discuss the classification of duality orbits of N = 8 gauged supergravity models. Using tensor classifiers, we show that there is a one-parameter family of inequivalent SO(8) gauged supergravity theories. We briefly discuss…
We list defining relations for the four of the five exceptional simple Lie superalgebras some of which, as David Broadhurst conjectured and Kac demonstrated, may pertain to The Standard Model or Grand unified theories of elementary…
We consider the tensor theory on coincident E8 5-branes compactified on a three torus. Using string theory, we predict that there must be distinct components in the moduli space of this theory.We argue that new superconformal field theories…
A covariant reformulation of General Relativity is briefly considered from three points of view: geometrodynamics, Lagrange-Euler field theory, and gauge field theory. From a geometrodynamics perspective, a definition of the reference frame…
We investigate the properties of the Extended Fock Basis (EFB) of Clifford algebras introduced in [1]. We show that a Clifford algebra can be seen as a direct sum of multiple spinor subspaces that are characterized as being left…
We study the renormalizable group equations (RGEs) of the extended strong and weak gauge couplings in an ${\rm SU}(8)$ theory, where three-generational SM fermions are non-trivially embedded. This framework was previously found to generate…
