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…

Four $\ZZ_+$-bigraded complexes with the action of the exceptional infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra E(3,6) are constructed. We show that all the images and cokernels and all but three kernels of the differentials are irreducible…
The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the…
We construct the well-known decomposition of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_8$ into representations of $\mathfrak{e}_6\oplus\mathfrak{su}(3)$ using explicit matrix representations over pairs of division algebras. The minimal representation…
Recently one of the authors obtained a classification of simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields which extends the well-known classification of E. Cartan in the Lie algebra case. The list consists of many series…
We continue the study of irreducible representations of the exceptional Lie superalgebra E(3,6). This is one of the two simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields which have a Lie algebra sl(3)\times sl(2)\times gl(1) as…
In this thesis we consider the maximal subalgebras of the exceptional Lie algebras in algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic. This begins with a quick recap of the article by Herpel and Stewart which considered the Cartan…
For every field $F$ which has a quadratic extension $E$ we show there are non-metabelian infinite-dimensional thin graded Lie algebras all of whose homogeneous components, except the second one, have dimension $2$. We construct such Lie…
In this thesis we study algebraic structures in M-theory, in particular the exceptional Lie algebras arising in dimensional reduction of its low energy limit, eleven-dimensional supergravity. We focus on e8 and its infinite-dimensional…
A group grading on a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is special if its identity component is zero; it is pure if at least one of its components, other than the identity component, contains a…
All gradings by abelian groups are classified on the following algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 2: the simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$ (characteristic not 3), the exceptional simple Jordan algebra, and the…
We give tables of noncompact real forms of maximal reductive subalgebras of complex simple Lie algebras of rank up to 8. These were obtained by computational methods that we briefly describe. We also discuss applications in theoretical…
We classify irreducible finite-dimensional modules of a collection of real Lie superalgebras that includes the simple ones, their classical variants, complex Lie superalgebras after restriction of scalars, and all real Lie algebras. Our…

Results about the following classes of finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero are presented: anisotropic (i.e., Lie algebras for which each adjoint operator is semisimple), regular (i.e., Lie algebras in which…
We obtain a characterization of the real Lie algebras admitting abelian complex structures in terms of certain affine Lie algebras $\frak a \frak f \frak f (A)$, where $A$ is a commutative algebra. These affine Lie algebras are natural…
Let $G$ be an exceptional simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ and suppose that the characteristic $p$ of $k$ is a good prime for $G$. In this paper we classify the maximal Lie subalgebras $\mathfrak{m}$ of the Lie…
The irreducible tensor bases of exceptional Lie algebras G2, F4 and E6 are built by grouping their Cartan-Weyl bases according to the respective chains G2> SO(3) * SO(3), F4 > SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3) and E6> SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3). The…
