A generalized Euler parameterization of a compact Lie group is a way for parameterizing the group starting from a maximal Lie subgroup, which allows a simple characterization of the range of parameters. In the present paper we consider the…
In this article we provide a detailed description of a technique to obtain a simple parametrization for different exceptional Lie groups, such as G2, F4 and E6, based on their fibration structure. For the compact case, we construct a…

In this paper we present a construction for the compact form of the exceptional Lie group E6 by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra e6, which we realize as the the sum of f4, the derivations of the exceptional Jordan algebra J3 of…
We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine…
We give a construction that takes a simple linear algebraic group $G$ over a field and produces a commutative, unital, and simple non-associative algebra $A$ over that field. Two attractions of this construction are that (1) when $G$ has…

In [5] and [19], the authors gave anomaly cancellation formulas for the gauge groups E8,E8*E8. In this paper, we mainly deal with the case of gauge group E8*E8*E8. Using the E8*E8*E8 bundle, we construct some modular forms over SL2(Z). By…
The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the…

For the simply connected compact exceptional Lie group $E_8$, we determine the structure of subgroup $(E_8)^{\sigma, \sigma'}$ of $E_8$ which is the intersection $(E_8)^\sigma \cap (E_8)^{\sigma'}$. Then the space $E_8/(E_8)^{\sigma,…

Averaging physical quantities over Lie groups appears in many contexts across the rapidly developing branches of physics like quantum information science or quantum optics. Such an averaging process can be always represented as averaging…
