We provide a discussion of Jordan decompositions in the Lie algebra, and the dual Lie algebra, of a reductive group in as uniform a way as possible. We give a counterexample to the claim that Jordan decompositions on the dual Lie algebra…
The Reshetikhin - Turaev invariants arising from the quantum groups associated with the exceptional Lie algebras $G_2$, $F_4$ and $E_8$ at odd roots of unity are constructed and explicitly computed for all the lens spaces.
Magical supergravities are a very special class of supergravity theories whose symmetries and matter content in various dimensions correspond to symmetries and underlying algebraic structures of the remarkable geometries of the Magic Square…
We formulate the full bosonic SL(5) exceptional field theory in a coordinate-invariant manner. Thereby we interpret the 10-dimensional extended space as a manifold with $\mathrm{SL}(5)\times\mathbb{R}^+$-structure. We show that the algebra…
A complete canonical formulation of general covariance makes it possible to construct new modified theories of gravity that are not of higher-curvature form, as shown here in a spherically symmetric setting. The usual uniqueness theorems…
A representation of finite-dimensional probabilistic models in terms of formally real Jordan algebras is obtained, in a strikingly easy way, from simple assumptions. This provides a framework in which real, complex and quaternionic quantum…
The usual quantization of a classical space-time field does not touch the non-geometrical character of quantum mechanics. We believe that the deep problems of unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics are rooted in this poor…
As a canonical and generally covariant gauge theory, loop quantum gravity requires special techniques to derive effective actions or equations. If the proper constructions are taken into account, the theory, in spite of considerable…
In fundamental theories that accounts for quantum gravitational effects, the spacetime causal structure is expected to be quantum uncertain. Previous studies of quantum causal structure focused on finite-dimensional systems. Here we present…
A Lie superalgebra is attached to any finite-dimensional J-ternary algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3, using a process of semisimplification via tensor categories. Some of the exceptional simple Lie algebras,…
We introduce a general notion of quantum universal enveloping algebroids (QUE algebroids), or quantum groupoids, as a unification of quantum groups and star-products. Some basic properties are studied including the twist construction and…
We derive a theory of quantum gravity containing an AdS$_3$ isometry/qubit duality. The theory is based on a superalgebra generalization of the enveloping algebra of the homogeneous AdS$_3$ spacetime isometry group and is isomorphic to the…
It is shown that physical signals and space-time intervals modeled on split-octonion geometry naturally exhibit properties from conventional (3+1)-theory (e.g. number of dimensions, existence of maximal velocities, Heisenberg uncertainty,…
We begin by introducing an extension of the traditional abundancy index to imaginary quadratic rings with unique factorization. After showing that many of the properties of the traditional abundancy index continue to hold in our extended…
In this paper, we develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…
A total of 860 nonisomorphic \( \mathbb{Z}_2^3 \)-graded Lie algebras of dimensions 52, 78, 133, and 248 are obtained as graded contractions of the \( \mathbb{Z}_2^3 \)-gradings on the exceptional Lie algebras (excluding \( \mathfrak{g}_2…
We give a computer free proof of the Deligne, Cohen and deMan formulas for the dimensions of the irreducible $g$-modules appearing in the tensor powers of $g$, where $g$ ranges over the exceptional complex simple Lie algebras. We give…
Cosmological analysis of extended Jordan-Brans-Dicke (eJBD) gravity is presented in the Einstein metric frame in which gravitational interaction is readily understandable. Our formulation is the first systematic investigation of how to…
This paper is meant to be an informal introduction to Quantum Groups, starting from its origins and motivations until the recent developments. We call in particular the attention on the newly descovered relationship among quantum groups,…
The basic features of the complex canonical formulation of general relativity and the recent developments in the quantum gravity program based on it are reviewed. The exposition is intended to be complementary to the review articles…
