We exploit various inclusions of algebraic groups to give a new construction of groups of type E8, determine the Killing forms of the resulting E8's, and define an invariant of central simple algebras of degree 16 with orthogonal involution…

Chevalley's theorem and it's converse, the Sheppard-Todd theorem, assert that finite reflection groups are distinguished by the fact that the ring of invariant polynomials is freely generated. We show that in the Euclidean case, a weaker…

The octonions are one of the four normed division algebras, together with the real, complex and quaternion number systems. The latter three hold a primary place in random matrix theory, where in applications to quantum physics they are…

We introduce 3-irreducible modules, even roots and odd roots for Leibniz algebras, produce a basis for a root space of a Leibniz algebra with a semisimple Lie factor, and classify finite dimensional simple Leibniz algebras with Lie factor…

Twist deformation U_F(g) is equivalent to the quantum group Fun_d(G#) and has two preferred bases: the one originating from U(g) and that of the coordinate functions on the dual Lie group G#. The costructure of the Hopf algebra U_F(g) is…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We construct a $p$-group $P$ of nilpotency class two, rank seven and exponent $p$, such that $\mathrm{Aut}(P)$ induces $N_{\mathrm{GL}(7,p)}(G_2(p)) = Z(\mathrm{GL}(7,p)) G_2(p)$ on the Frattini quotient…

We study subsets in possibly degenerate symplectic vector spaces over finite fields, which are stable under a given Coxeter/Weyl reflection group. These symplectic root systems provide crucial combinatorical data to classify…

We construct a convenient basis for all real semisimple Lie algebras by means of an adapted Chevalley basis of the complexification. It determines rational and in fact half-integer structure constants which we express only in terms of the…

In this paper, we continue our study of abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank $\geq 2.$ First, we extend our earlier methods to analyze representations of elementary groups over arbitrary associative…

The article is devoted to the investigation of transformation groups of polynomials over Cayley-Dickson algebras and their manifolds of zeros. The problems about expressibility of zeros with the help of roots and decomposibility of…

By consireding representation theory for non-associative algebras we construct the fundamental and adjoint representations of the octonion algebra. We then show how these representations by associative matrices allow a consistent octonionic…

Group elements of SU(2) are expressed in closed form as finite polynomials of the Lie algebra generators, for all definite spin representations of the rotation group. The simple explicit result exhibits connections between group theory,…

A new highly symmetrical model of the compact Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}^c_2$ is provided as a twisted ring group for the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$ and the ring $\mathbb{R}\oplus\mathbb{R}$. The model is self-contained and can be used without…

We define a special matrix multiplication among a special subset of $2N\x 2N$ matrices, and study the resulting (non-associative) algebras and their subalgebras. We derive the conditions under which these algebras become alternative…

We give a definition of quarternion Lie algebra and of the quarternification of a complex Lie algebra. By our definition gl(n,H), sl(n,H), so*(2n) and sp(n) are quarternifications of gl(n,C), sl(n,C), so(n,C) and u(n) respectively. Then we…

The paper aims to adopt the complex octonion to formulate the angular momentum, torque, and force etc in the electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Applying the octonionic representation enables one single definition of angular momentum…

Representations of $SO(5)_{q}$ are constructed explicitly on the Chevalley basis for all $q$, generic and root of unity. Matrix elements of the generators are obtained for all representations depending on three variable indices, the maximal…

We argue that once octonions are formulated as soft Lie algebras, they may be safely used and the non-associativity can be overcame. The necessary points are: (a) Fixing the direction of action by introducing the \delta operator. (b)…

In this paper we present eight-component values "octons", generating associative noncommutative algebra. It is shown that the electromagnetic field in a vacuum can be described by a generalized octonic equation, which leads both to the wave…
