Of the five exceptional groups, $\mathrm{E}_6$ is considered the most attractive for unification due to the following reasons: (i) it contains both $\mathrm{Spin} (10) \times \mathrm{U}(1)$ and $\mathrm{SU} (3) \times \mathrm{SU}(3) \times…
We construct smooth embeddings of spherical quandles into conjugation quandles of Lie groups, where the ambient Lie groups can be taken to be orthogonal, Spin, or Pin groups. Moreover, in dimensions $1$ and $3$, we compare our embeddings…
We study the structure of the $E_2$-term of the Rothenberg-Steenrod spectral sequence converging to the mod 3 cohomology of the classifying space of the compact, connected, simply connected, exceptional Lie group of rank 6.
Exceptional groups of type $E_6$ contain dual pairs where one member is $\mathrm{Spin}(8)$, and the other is $T\rtimes \mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$, where $T$ is a two-dimensional torus and the non-trivial element in $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$ acts on…
Attempts to extend our previous work using the octonions to describe fundamental particles lead naturally to the consideration of a particular real, noncompact form of the exceptional Lie group E6, and of its subgroups. We are therefore led…
We consider a new matrix model based on the simply connected compact exceptional Lie group E6. A matrix Chern-Simons theory is directly derived from the invariant on E6. It is stated that the similar argument as Smolin which derives an…
In this paper we classify the reducible representations of compact simple Lie groups all of whose orbits are tautly embedded in Euclidean space with respect to Z_2 coefficients.
The spin of a single electron confined in a semiconductor quantum dot is a natural qubit candidate. Fundamental building blocks of spin-based quantum computing have been demonstrated in double quantum dots with significant spin-orbit…
We know that any element A of the group SO(3) can be represented as A = A1 A2 A1', where A1, A1' are elements of SO1(2)={A is an element of SO(3) | Ae1=e1}, and SO2(2)={A is an element of SO(3) | Ae2=e2} . This fact is known as Euler's…
We determine the Stiefel-Whitney classes of the second exterior representation and the spin representation of Spin(15), which are useful to calculate the mod 2 cohomology of the classifying space of the exceptional Lie group E_8.
We study the hidden symmetries of the fermionic sector of D=11 supergravity, and the role of K(E10) as a generalised `R-symmetry'. We find a consistent model of a massless spinning particle on an E10/K(E10) coset manifold whose dynamics can…
We determine for each of the simple, simply connected, compact and complex Lie groups SU(n), Spin$(4n+2)$ and $E_6$ that particular region inside the unit disk in the complex plane which is filled by their mean eigenvalues. We give…
Quarks and leptons charges and interactions are derived from gauge theories associated with symmetries. Their space-time labels come from representations of the non-compact algebra of Special Relativity. Common to these descriptions are the…
We study the classifying space of a twisted loop group $L_{\sigma}G$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group and $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $G$ of finite order modulo inner automorphisms. Equivalently, we study the $\sigma$-twisted adjoint…
We investigate ten-dimensional gauge theories whose extra six-dimensional space is a compact coset space, $S/R$, and gauge group is a direct product of two Lie groups. We list up candidates of the gauge group and embeddings of $R$ into…
A classification is given of the exceptional $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric spaces $G/K$ by A.Kollross, where $G$ is an exceptional compact Lie group or $S\!pin(8)$, and moreover the structure of $K$ is determined as Lie…
We relate the Lounesto classification of regular and singular spinors to the orbits of the $Spin(3,1)$ group in the space of Dirac spinors. We find that regular spinors are associated with the principal orbits of the spin group while…
We study spin structures on compact simply-connected homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M = G/H, g) of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We classify flag manifolds F = G/H of a compact simple Lie group which are spin. This yields also…
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…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an affine Lie algebra with index set $I = \{0, 1, 2, \cdots , n\}$. It is conjectured that for each Dynkin node $k \in I \setminus \{0\}$ the affine Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ has a positive geometric crystal. In this…
