In this paper we continue our program, started in [2], of building up explicit generalized Euler angle parameterizations for all exceptional compact Lie groups. Here we solve the problem for E7, by first providing explicit matrix…

We show that every exceptional Lie algebra over a number field can be obtained by Tits' construction from an octonion algebra O and a cubic Jordan algebra J. In particular, the exceptional Lie algebra contains a dual pair which is the…

For each of the exceptional Lie superalgebras with indecomposable Cartan matrix, we give the explicit list of its roots of and the corresponding Chevalley basis for one of the inequivalent Cartan matrices, the one corresponding to the…

We construct the E theory analogue of the particles that transform under the Poincare group, that is, the irreducible representations of the semi-direct product of the Cartan involution subalgebra of E11 with its vector representation. We…

We decompose the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_{8(-24)}$ into representations of $\mathfrak{e}_{7(-25)}\oplus\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ using our recent description of $\mathfrak{e}_8$ in terms of (generalized) $3\times3$ matrices over pairs…

We explicitly construct a particular real form of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_7$ in terms of symplectic matrices over the octonions, thus justifying the identifications $\mathfrak{e}_7\cong\mathfrak{sp}(6,\mathbb{O})$ and, at the group…

This paper describes finite dimensionall irreducible representations of both twisted and untwisted Cartan map Lie superalgebras.

We construct a duality functor in the category of continuous representations of the Lie superalgebra E(4,4), the only exceptional simple linearly compact Lie superalgebra, for which it wasn't known. This is achieved by constructing a Lie…

In this paper we present a construction of the compact form of the exceptional Lie group F4 by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra f4. We realize F4 as the automorphisms group of the exceptional Jordan algebra, whose elements are 3…

In this paper, we classify solvable quadratic Lie algebras up to dimension 6. In dimensions smaller than 6, we use the Witt decomposition given in \cite{Bou59} and a result in \cite{PU07} to obtain two non-Abelian indecomposable solvable…

A new structure, based on joining copies of a group by means of a \emph{twist}, has recently been considered to describe the brackets of the two exceptional real Lie algebras of type $G_2$ in a highly symmetric way. In this work we show…

Using GAP4, we determine the number of ad-nilpotent and abelian ideals of a parabolic subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra of exceptional types E, F or G.

We present the subalgebra structure of sl(3,O), a particular real form of e6 chosen for its relevance to particle physics and its close relation to generalized Lorentz groups. We use an explicit representation of the Lie group SL(3,O) to…

There is a growing interest in the logical possibility that exceptional mathematical structures (exceptional Lie and superLie algebras, the exceptional Jordan algebra, etc.) could be linked to an ultimate "exceptional" formulation for a…

We present a periodic infinite chain of finite generalisations of the exceptional structures, including the exceptional Lie algebra $\mathbf{e_8}$, the exceptional Jordan algebra (and pair) and the octonions. We will also argue on the…

An irreducible representation of a reductive Lie algebra, when restricted to a Cartan subalgebra, decomposes into weights with multiplicity. The first part of this paper outlines a procedure to compute symmetric polynomials (e.g., power…

We define a special matrix multiplication among a special subset of $2N\x 2N$ matrices, and study the resulting (non-associative) algebras and their subalgebras. We derive the conditions under which these algebras become alternative…

This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…

We present a periodic infinite chain of finite generalisations of the exceptional structures, including e8, the exceptional Jordan algebra (and pair), and the octonions. We demonstrate that the exceptional Jordan algebra is part of an…

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…
