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…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. The main aim of this paper is to prove the Tits-Weiss conjecture for Albert division algebras over $k$ which are pure first Tits constructions. This conjecture asserts that for an Albert division algebra $A$…

We give a degree 8 separable extension having two non-isomorphic Hopf-Galois structures with isomorphic underlying Hopf algebras.

It is shown that the $E_8$ trigonometric Olshanetsky-Perelomov Hamiltonian, when written in terms of the Fundamental Trigonometric Invariants (FTI), is in algebraic form, i.e., has polynomial coefficients, and preserves two infinite flags…

The classical Tits construction provides models of the exceptional simple Lie algebras in terms of a unital composition algebra and a degree three simple Jordan algebra. A couple of actions of the symmetric group of degree 4 on this…

It is shown, for any irreducible representation of $E_8$ Lie algebra, that eigenvalues of Casimir operators can be calculated in the form of invariant polinomials which are decomposed in terms of $A_8$ basis functions. The general method is…

The so-called Tits class, associated to an adjoint absolutely almost simple algebraic group, provides a cohomological obstruction for this group to admit an outer automorphism. If the group has inner type, this obstruction is the only one.…

We consider Picard surfaces, locally symmetric varieties $S_{\Gamma}$ attached to the Lie group SU(2,1), and we construct explicit differential forms on $S_{\Gamma}$ representing Eisenstein classes, i.e. cohomology classes restricting…

We prove that within a natural class of E_3-algebras, the graded Tor group induced by a span of E_3-algebra maps carries a graded algebra structure generalizing the classical structure when the algebras are genuine commutative differential…

It is well known that anomaly cancellations for D_16 Lie algebra are at the root of the first string revolution. For E_8 Lie algebra, cancellation of anomalies is the principal fact leading to the existence of heterotic string. They are in…

We use categorical description of the invariant 2-cohomology group of Hopf algebra to compute such cohomology for two finite dimensional Hopf algebras: the group ring of $Z_8\rtimes Aut(Z_8)$ and Kac-Paljutkin algebra. For the first of…

This paper is devoted to the classification and studying properties of complex unital $3$-dimensional structurable algebras. We provide a complete list of non-isomorphic classes, identifying five algebras for type $(2, 1)$ and two algebras…

We provide a construction procedure for complex root spaces invariant under antilinear transformations, which may be applied to any Coxeter group. The procedure is based on the factorisation of a chosen element of the Coxeter group into two…

This paper considers the geometry of $E_8$ from a Clifford point of view in three complementary ways. Firstly, in earlier work, I had shown how to construct the four-dimensional exceptional root systems from the 3D root systems using…

We investigate exceptional generalised diffeomorphisms based on $E_{8(8)}$ in a geometric setting. The transformations include gauge transformations for the dual gravity field. The surprising key result, which allows for a development of a…

In our previous paper math/0502157 we classified a large class of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras up to isomorphism. However the following problem was left open for Hopf algebras of of type $A,D$ or $E_6$, that is whose Cartan…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, $N$ be a positive integer, $f(z)$ be a newform of level $\Gamma_1(N)$, and $A_f$ be the abelian variety associated to $f$. For each $\tau \in K$ ($\operatorname{Im} \tau >0$), we construct a certain…

Since the introduction of the concept of isotopism of algebras by Albert in 1942, a prolific literature on the subject has been developed for distinct types of algebras. Nevertheless, there barely exists any result on the problem of…

This work provides five explicit constructions of the exceptional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_8$, based on its semisimple subalgebras of maximal rank. Each of these models is graded by an abelian group, namely, $\mathbb{Z}_4$, $\mathbb{Z}_5$,…

The paper concerns the classification problem of a subclass of complex filiform Leibniz algebras in dimensions 7 and 8. This subclass arises from naturally graded filiform Lie algebras. We give a complete list of isomorphism classes of…
