We introduce two classes of "egg type" domains, built on general bounded symmetric domains, for which we compute the Bergmann kernel in explicit form. We use the characterization of bounded symmetric domains through Jordan triple systems.…
The three-algebras used by Bagger and Lambert in N=6 theories of ABJM type are in one-to-one correspondence with a certain type of Lie superalgebras. We show that the description of three-algebras as generalized Jordan triple systems…
With this paper we start a programme aiming at connecting two vast scientific areas: Jordan algebras and representation theory. Within representation theory, we focus on non-compact, real forms of semisimple Lie algebras and groups as well…
Albert algebras, a specific kind of Jordan algebra, are naturally distinguished objects among commutative non-associative algebras and also arise naturally in the context of simple affine group schemes of type $F_4$, $E_6$, or $E_7$. We…
We elucidate the geometry of matrix models based on simple formally real Jordan algebras. Such Jordan algebras give rise to a nonassociative geometry that is a generalization of Lorentzian geometry. We emphasize constructions for the…
Starting from the Jordan algebraic interpretation of the "Magic Star" embedding within the exceptional sequence of simple Lie algebras, we exploit the so-called spin factor embedding of rank-3 Jordan algebras and its consequences on the…
Exceptional field theory (EFT) gives a geometric underpinning of the U-duality symmetries of M-theory. In this talk I give an overview of the surprisingly rich algebraic structures which naturally appear in the context of EFT. This includes…
A new mneumonic device is shown to emerge in connection with O(7) numerical tensors exhibiting duality and reflecting the natural 7=(4+3) splitting of 7-dimensional space. Then Desargues' and Pappus' theorems are shown to be connected…
We initiate the study of an algebra of symmetries for the 3D Dirac-Dunkl operator associated with the Weyl group of the exceptional root system $G_2$. For this symmetry algebra, we give both an abstract definition and an explicit…
We consider the super Jordan plane, a braided Hopf algebra introduced--to the best of our knowledge--in works of N. Andruskiewitsch, I. Angiono, I. Heckenberger, and its restricted version in odd characteristic introduced by the same…
We explore geometries that give rise to a novel algebraic structure, the Exceptional Drinfeld Algebra, which has recently been proposed as an approach to study generalised U-dualities, similar to the non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie…
A new matrix model is described, based on the exceptional Jordan algebra. The action is cubic, as in matrix Chern-Simons theory. We describe a compactification that, we argue, reproduces, at the one loop level, an octonionic…
By exploiting the Jordan pair structure of U-duality Lie algebras in D = 3 and the relation to the super-Ehlers symmetry in D = 5, we elucidate the massless multiplet structure of the spectrum of a broad class of D = 5 supergravity…
We introduce the notion of extremal basis of tangent vector fields at a boundary point of finite type of a pseudo-convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Then we define the class of geometrically separated domains at a boundary point, and give a…
We describe the ternary and the generalized superderivations of finite-dimensional semisimple Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and of finite-dimensional simple Jordan superalgebras with…
The Jordan algebra of the symmetric matrices of order two over a field $K$ has two natural gradings by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the cyclic group of order 2. We describe the graded polynomial identities for these two gradings when the base field is…
The matrix models attached to real symmetric matrices and the complex/quaternionic Hermitian matrices have been studied by many authors. These models correspond to three of the simple formally real Jordan algebras over R. Such algebras were…
We continue the study undertaken in \cite{DV} of the exceptional Jordan algebra $J = J_3^8$ as (part of) the finite-dimensional quantum algebra in an almost classical space-time approach to particle physics. Along with reviewing known…
This paper focuses on the derivations and automorphism groups of certain finite-dimensional associative algebras over the field of complex numbers. Using classification results for algebras of dimensions two, three, and four, along with…
I explore several related routes to deriving the Jordan-algebraic structure of finite-dimensional quantum theory from more transparent operational or physical principles, mainly involving ideas about the symmetries of, and the correlations…
