Using algebraic tools inspired by the study of nilpotent orbits in simple Lie algebras, we obtain a large class of solutions describing interacting non-BPS black holes in N=8 supergravity, which depend on 44 harmonic functions. For this…

We model physical signals using elements of the algebra of split octonions over the field of real numbers. Elementary particles are corresponded to the special elements of the algebra that nullify octonionic norms (zero divisors). It is…

Holomorphic quaternion functions only admit affine functions; thus, the M\"obius transformation for these functions, which we call quaternionic holomorphic transformation (QHT), only comprises similarity transformations. We determine a…

Rotation-induced splitting of the otherwise degenerate photonic bands is predicted for a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of evanescently coupled microcavities. The symmetry-broken energy splitting is similar to the Zeeman splitting of…

Demonstrating the split octonion formalism for unified fields of dyons (electromagnetic fields) and gravito-dyons (gravito-Heavisidian fields of linear gravity), relevant field equations are derived in compact, simpler and manifestly…

We study automorphisms and invariants for the algebra $\mathbb{O}$ of octonions and octonionic slice regular functions $f:\mathbb{O} \to \mathbb{O}$.

As is well-known, the real quaternion division algebra $ {\cal H}$ is algebraically isomorphic to a 4-by-4 real matrix algebra. But the real division octonion algebra ${\cal O}$ can not be algebraically isomorphic to any matrix algebras…

Using octonions and the triality property of Spin(8), we find explicit formulae for the Lie brackets of the exceptional simple real Lie algebras $\mathfrak{f}_4$ and $\mathfrak{f}^*_4$, i.e. the Lie algebras of the isometry groups of the…

We generalise our previous results of universal linear manipulations [Phys. Rev. A63, 032304 (2001)] to investigate three types of nonlinear qubit transformations using measurement and quantum based schemes. Firstly, nonlinear rotations are…

There are two well-known ways of describing elements of the rotation group SO$(m)$. First, according to the Cartan-Dieudonn\'e theorem, every rotation matrix can be written as an even number of reflections. And second, they can also be…

For the quaternionic unit ball $\mathbb{B}$, let us denote by $\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B})$ the set of slice regular M\"obius transformations mapping $\mathbb{B}$ onto itself. We introduce a smooth manifold structure on…

This work rests upon the certainty that only fields of real and complex numbers, quaternions and octonions have algebras of all four arithmetical operations. Also quaternions are good to represent 3-dimensional Euclid space and…

In considering the nature of the basic mathematical structures appropriate for describing the fundamental elements of particle physics a significant role for the octonions, as an extension from the complex numbers and uniquely the largest…

Covariant or invariant functions under a compact linear group can be expressed in terms of functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The semialgebraic relations defining the orbit spaces of all finite coregular real linear groups…

Let Z be a compact complex (2n+1)-manifold which carries a {\em complex contact structure}, meaning a codimension-1 holomorphic sub-bundle D of TZ which is maximally non-integrable. If Z admits a K\"ahler-Einstein metric of positive scalar…

This work looks at the theory of octonionic slice regular functions through the lens of differential topology. It proves a full-fledged version of the Open Mapping Theorem for octonionic slice regular functions. Moreover, it opens the path…

Group theory indicates the existence of a $SO(8) X SO(7) \subset SO(16)$ invariant self-duality equation for a 3-form in 16 dimensions. It is a signal for interesting topological field theories, especially on 8-dimensional manifolds with…

We study the topological configurations of the two-component condensates of bosons with the $3$D $\vec{\sigma}\cdot \vec{p}$ Weyl-type spin-orbit coupling subject to a harmonic trapping potential. The topology of the condensate…

We associate with each simple Lie algebra a system of second-order differential equations invariant under a non-compact real form of the corresponding Lie group. In the limit of a contraction to a Schr\"odinger algebra, these equations…

The mechanics of an oriented point (point with "spin") based on 3D and 4D Frenet equations is considered. In such mechanics there is an opportunity to describe formally any physical trajectory of a particle with own rotation. We use…
