In the present article we investigate the possibility of combining the usual Grassmann algebras with their ternary Z_3-graded counterpart, thus creating a more general algebra with coexisting quadratic and cubic constitutive relations. We…

We propose a generalization of non-commutative geometry and gauge theories based on ternary Z_3-graded structures. In the new algebraic structures we define, we leave all products of two entities free, imposing relations on ternary products…

A concise study of ternary and cubic algebras with $Z_3$ grading is presented. We discuss some underlying ideas leading to the conclusion that the discrete symmetry group of permutations of three objects, $S_3$, and its abelian subgroup…

We show that each irreducible tensor representation of weight 2 of the rotation group of three-dimensional space in the space of rank 3 covariant tensors gives rise to an associative algebra with unity. We find the algebraic relations that…

We define and study the ternary analogues of Clifford algebras. It is proved that the ternary Clifford algebra with $N$ generators is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the elements of grade zero of the ternary Clifford algebra with $N+1$…

We show how the discrete symmetries $Z_2$ and $Z_3$ combined with the superposition principle result in the $SL(2, {\bf C})$-symmetry of quantum states. The role of Pauli's exclusion principle in the derivation of the SL(2, C) symmetry is…

We investigate certain $Z_3$-graded associative algebras with cubic $Z_3$-invariant constitutive relations. The invariant forms on finite algebras of this type are given in the low dimensional cases with two or three generators. We show how…

In this article, we provide an overview of a one-to-one correspondence between representations of the generalized Clifford algebra $C_f$ of a ternary cubic form $f$ and certain vector bundles (called Ulrich bundles) on a cubic surface $X$.…

We build generalizations of the Grassmann algebras from a few simple assumptions which are that they are graded, maximally symmetric and contain an ordinary Grassmann algebra as a subalgebra. These algebras are graded by Z_{n}^{3} and…

We extend the concepts of the associator and commutator from algebras with a binary multiplication law to algebras with a ternary multiplication law using cube roots of unity. By analogy with the Jacobi identity for the binary commutator,…

We discuss a generalization of Clifford algebras known as generalized Clifford algebras (in particular, ternary Clifford algebras). In these objects, we have a fixed higher-degree form (in particular, a ternary form) instead of a quadratic…

Given a nondegenerate ternary form $f=f(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of degree 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we use the geometry of K3 surfaces to construct a certain positive-dimensional family of irreducible…

Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term truncated $L_\infty$ algebra giving rise to a fundamental…

In this Master of Science Thesis I introduce geometric algebra both from the traditional geometric setting of vector spaces, and also from a more combinatorial view which simplifies common relations and operations. This view enables us to…

A way to construct and classify the three dimensional polynomially deformed algebras is given and the irreducible representations is presented. for the quadratic algebras 4 different algebras are obtained and for cubic algebras 12 different…

We take a categorical approach to describe ternary derivations and ternary automorphisms of triangular algebras. New classes of automorphisms and derivations of triangular algebras are also introduced and studied.

We use computational linear algebra and commutative algebra to study spaces of relations satisfied by quadrilinear operations. The relations are analogues of associativity in the sense that they are quadratic (every term involves two…

We propose the ternary generalization of the classical anti-commutativity and study the algebras whose generators are ternary anti-commutative. The integral over an algebra with an arbitrary number of generators N is defined and the formula…

We propose an approach to extending the concept of a Lie algebra to ternary structures based on $\omega$-symmetry, where $\omega$ is a primitive cube root of unity. We give a definition of a corresponding structure, called a ternary Lie…

We give details of a formerly known relation between ternary quadratic forms and quaternion orders through the even Clifford algebra. Based on this and classifications of ternary quadratic forms we give a completely explicit classification…
