The generalized supersymmetries admitting abelian bosonic tensorial central charges are classified in accordance with their division algebra structure (over ${\bf R}$, ${\bf C}$, ${\bf H}$ or ${\bf O}$). It is shown in particular that in…
We study the Euclidean supersymmetric D=11 M-algebras. We consider two such D=11 superalgebras: the first one is N=(1,1) self-conjugate complex-Hermitean, with 32 complex supercharges and 1024 real bosonic charges, the second is N=(1,0)…
We describe the set of generalized Poincare and conformal superalgebras in D=4,5 and 7 dimensions as two sequences of superalgebraic structures, taking values in the division algebras R, C and H. The generalized conformal superalgebras are…
The connection of (split-)division algebras with Clifford algebras and supersymmetry is investigated. At first we introduce the class of superalgebras constructed from any given (split-)division algebra. We further specify which real…
We give an octonionic formulation of the N = 1 supersymmetry algebra in D = 11, including all brane charges. We write this in terms of a novel outer product, which takes a pair of elements of the division algebra A and returns a real linear…
It is shown that the $M$-algebra related with the $M$ theory comes in two variants. Besides the standard $M$ algebra based on the real structure, an alternative octonionic formulation can be consistently introduced. This second variant has…
Quaternionic and octonionic realizations of Clifford algebras and spinors are classified and explicitly constructed in terms of recursive formulas. The most general free dynamics in arbitrary signature space-times for both quaternionic and…
Relying upon the division-algebra classification of Clifford algebras and spinors, a classification of generalized supersymmetries (or, with a slight abuse of language,"generalized supertranslations") is provided. In each given space-time…
Introducing products between multivectors of Cl(0,7) and octonions, resulting in an octonion, and leading to the non-associative standard octonionic product in a particular case, we generalize the octonionic X-product, associated with the…
A real representation theory of real Clifford algebra has been studied in further detail, especially in connection with Fierz identities. As its application, we have constructed real octonion algebras as well as related octonionic triple…
The theory of representations of Clifford algebras is extended to employ the division algebra of the octonions or Cayley numbers. In particular, questions that arise from the non-associativity and non-commutativity of this division algebra…
We derive a theory of quantum gravity containing an AdS$_3$ isometry/qubit duality. The theory is based on a superalgebra generalization of the enveloping algebra of the homogeneous AdS$_3$ spacetime isometry group and is isomorphic to the…
We give a one dimensional octonionic representation of the different Clifford algebra Cliff(5,5)\sim Cliff(9,1), Cliff(6,6)\sim Cliff(10,2) and lastly Cliff(7,6)\sim Cliff(10,3) which can be given by (8x8) real matrices taking into account…
Using octonions, more specifically, using a 4 x 4 matrix representation of octonions obtained with the help of algebraic properties of quaternions, we obtain the fully symmetric Maxwell's equations (Maxwell's equations with electric and…
Octonionic algebra being nonassociative is difficult to manipulate. We introduce left-right octonionic barred operators which enable us to reproduce the associative GL(8,R) group. Extracting the basis of GL(4,C), we establish an interesting…
We formulate D=11 supergravity over the octonions by rewriting 32-component Majorana spinors as 4-component octonionic spinors. Dimensional reduction to D=4 and D=3 suggests an interpretation of the so-called 'dilaton vectors', which…
Using elementary linear algebra, this paper clarifies and proves some concepts about a recently introduced octonion-like associative division algebra over R. This octonion-like algebra is actually the same as the split-biquaternion algebra,…
Superconformal algebras embedding space-time in any dimension and signature are considered. Different real forms of the $R$-symmetries arise both for usual space-time signature (one time) and for Euclidean or exotic signatures (more than…
In this work, we consider matroid theory. After presenting three different (but equivalent) definitions of matroids, we mention some of the most important theorems of such theory. In particular, we note that every matroid has a dual matroid…
In this talk we present a division-algebra classification of the generalized supersymmetries admitting bosonic tensorial central charges. We show that for complex and quaternionic supersymmetries a whole class of compatible division-algebra…
