Finite difference methods (FDMs) are widely used for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) due to their relatively simple implementation. However, they face significant challenges when applied to non-rectangular domains and in…

I apply the algebraic framework introduced in arXiv:1101.4542v3[math.MG] to Minkowski (pseudo-Euclidean) spaces in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions. The exposition follows the template established in arXiv:1307.2917[math.MG] for Euclidean spaces. The…

The classification of emergent spinor fields according to modified bilinear covariants is scrutinized, in spacetimes with nontrivial topology, which induce inequivalent spin structures. Extended Clifford algebras, constructed by equipping…

In 1925 Elie Cartan described `triality' \cite{CARTAN25}, \cite{CARTAN} as a symmetry between SO$(8; \mathbb{C})$ vectors and the two types of Spin$(8; \mathbb{C})$ spinor. It is known that the reduced generators of the Clifford algebra…

Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,s,t]$ be an irreducible constant-degree polynomial, and let $A,B,C,D\subset\mathbb{C}$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{8/3})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times…

Celestial holography suggests, among other things, that collinear singularities of graviton scattering amplitudes are described by the OPEs of some putative dual CFT. One of the great successes has been the insight that this duality is true…

Let G be a group of order 8 and F an algebraically closed field with char= 2. In this paper we compute the number of n degree representations of G and subsequent dimensions of the corresponding spaces of invatiant bilinear forms over the…

$E_8$ is prominent in mathematics and theoretical physics, and is generally viewed as an exceptional symmetry in an eight-dimensional space very different from the space we inhabit; for instance the Lie group $E_8$ features heavily in…

We derive the non-linear action of E8(8) on the constrained chiral superfield in the light-cone superspace with eight complex Grassmann variables. We construct (to lowest order in the coupling) the sixteen dynamical supersymmetries which…

The different forms of the tetrahedron equation appear when all possible ways to label the scattering process of infinitely long straight lines are considered in three dimensional spacetime. This is expected to lead to three dimensional…

We investigate $D$-dimensional gravitational model with curvature-quadratic and curvature-quartic correction terms: $R+R^2+R^4$. It is assumed that the corresponding higher dimensional spacetime manifold undergos a spontaneous…

We investigate exotic supergravity theories in 6D with maximal (4,0) and (3,1) supersymmetry, which were conjectured by C. Hull to exist and to describe strong coupling limits of ${\cal N}=8$ theories in 5D. These theories involve exotic…

Numerical characteristics of identities of finite-dimensional nonassociative algebras are studied. The main result is the construction of a four-dimensional simple unitary algebra with fractional PI-exponent strictly less than its…

Isotopic liftings of algebraic structures are investigated in the context of Clifford algebras, where it is defined a new product involving an arbitrary, but fixed, element of the Clifford algebra. This element acts as the unit with respect…

We study one-instantons, that is anti-selfdual connections with instanton number 1, on the quantum projective plane with orientation which is reversed with respect to the usual one. The orientation is fixed by a suitable choice of a basis…

Self-duality equations for Yang-Mills fields in d-dimensional Euclidean spaces consist of linear algebraic relations amongst the components of the curvature tensor which imply the Yang-Mills equations. For the extension to superspace gauge…

We provide a list of explicit eigenfunctions of the trigonometric Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian associated to the root system of the exceptional Lie algebra E8. The quantum numbers of these solutions correspond to the first and second…

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…

We study the $(1,0)$ six-dimensional SCFTs living on defects of non-geometric heterotic backgrounds (T-fects) preserving a $E_7\times E_8$ subgroup of $E_8\times E_8$. These configurations can be dualized explicitly to F-theory on elliptic…
