Contemporary presentation of the version 1 demonstrates briefly the development of our investigations and our future goals. The improved free of difficulties in interpretation and printing errors version is presented. The 256-dimensional…
We obtain an explicit formula for the bracket of the exceptional simple Lie algebra E8 based on triality and oct-octonions, following the Barton-Sudbery description of E8. Furthermore, we provide descriptions of the subalgebras E6 and E7…
Ramond has observed that the massless multiplet of eleven-dimensional supergravity can be generated from the decomposition of certain representation of the exceptional Lie group F4 into those of its maximal compact subgroup Spin(9). The…
The purpose of this paper is to provide an octonionic description of the Lie group $SL(2,{\mathbb O})$. The main result states that it can be obtained as a free group generated by invertible and determinant preserving transformations from…
We present a uniform approach to the construction of the groups of type $\mathrm{E}_6$ over arbitrary fields without using Lie theory. This gives a simple description of the group generators and some of the subgroup structure. In the finite…
Any nonsingular function of spin j matrices always reduces to a matrix polynomial of order 2j. The challenge is to find a convenient form for the coefficients of the matrix polynomial. The theory of biorthogonal systems is a useful…
In this paper we consider some Lie groups in complexified Clifford algebras. Using relations between operations of conjugation in Clifford algebras and matrix operations we prove isomorphisms between these groups and classical matrix groups…
We describe space-time using split octonions over the reals and use their group of automorphisms, the non-compact form of Cartan's exceptional Lie group G2, as the main geometrical group of the model. Connections of the G2-rotations of…
For small dimensional Lie algebra's there are many so-called accidental isomorphisms which give rise to double covers of special orthogonal groups - Spin groups - which happen to coincide with groups already belonging to another…
Functions of several octonion variables are investigated and integral representation theorems for them are proved. With the help of them solutions of the ${\tilde {\partial}}$-equations are studied. More generally functions of several…
As is well-known, the compact groups Spin(7) and SO(7) both have a single conjugacy class of compact subgroups of exceptional type G_2. We first show that if H is a subgroup of Spin(7), and if each element of H is conjugate to some element…
Polynomials in this paper are defined starting from a compact semisimple Lie group. A known classification of maximal, semisimple subgroups of simple Lie groups is used to select the cases to be considered here. A general method is…
It is shown that tachyons are associated with unitary representations of Poincare mappings induced from SO(2) little group instead of SO(2,1) one. This allows us to treat more seriously possibility that neutrinos are fermionic tachyons…
There is a growing interest in the logical possibility that exceptional mathematical structures (exceptional Lie and superLie algebras, the exceptional Jordan algebra, etc.) could be linked to an ultimate "exceptional" formulation for a…
The interior structure of arbitrary sets of quaternion units is analyzed using general methods of the theory of matrices. It is shown that the units are composed of quadratic combinations of fundamental objects having a dual mathematical…
We develop general techniques for computing the fundamental group of the configuration space of $n$ identical particles, possessing a generic internal structure, moving on a manifold $M$. This group generalizes the $n$-string braid group of…
Starting from the known unfaithful spinorial representations of the compact subalgebra K(E10) of the split real hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra E10 we construct new fermionic `higher spin' representations of this algebra (for `spin-5/2' and…
In this work the matrix exponential function is solved analytically for the special orthogonal groups $SO(n)$ up to $n=9$. The number of occurring $k$-th matrix powers gets limited to $0\leq k \leq n-1$ by exploiting the Cayley-Hamilton…
In this work we complement the description of the extreme rays of the $6 \times 6$ copositive cone with some topological structure. In a previous paper we decomposed the set of extreme elements of this cone into a disjoint union of pieces…
The paper surveys recent progress in the search for an appropriate internal space algebra for the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. As a starting point serve Clifford algebras involving operators of left multiplication by octonions.…
