Octonion multiplication and Heawood’s map

Bruno Sévennec (2013)

Confluentes Mathematici

In this note, the octonion multiplication table is recovered from a regular tesselation of the equilateral two timensional torus by seven hexagons, also known as Heawood’s map.

Octonionic Cayley spinors and E 6

Tevian Dray, Corinne A. Manogue (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

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 E 6 , and of its subgroups. We are therefore led to a description of E 6 in terms of 3 × 3 octonionic matrices, generalizing previous results in the 2 × 2 case. Our treatment naturally includes a description of several important subgroups of E 6 , notably G 2 , F 4 , and (the double cover of) S O ( 9 , 1 ) . An interpretation of the actions...

On a cubic Hecke algebra associated with the quantum group U q ( 2 )

Janusz Wysoczański (2010)

Banach Center Publications

We define an operator α on ℂ³ ⊗ ℂ³ associated with the quantum group U q ( 2 ) , which satisfies the Yang-Baxter equation and a cubic equation (α² - 1)(α + q²) = 0. This operator can be extended to a family of operators h j : = I j α I n - 2 - j on ( ³ ) n with 0 ≤ j ≤ n - 2. These operators generate the cubic Hecke algebra q , n ( 2 ) associated with the quantum group U q ( 2 ) . The purpose of this note is to present the construction.

On a general difference Galois theory I

Shuji Morikawa (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We know well difference Picard-Vessiot theory, Galois theory of linear difference equations. We propose a general Galois theory of difference equations that generalizes Picard-Vessiot theory. For every difference field extension of characteristic 0 , we attach its Galois group, which is a group of coordinate transformation.

On a new normalization for tractor covariant derivatives

Matthias Hammerl, Petr Somberg, Vladimír Souček, Josef Šilhan (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A regular normal parabolic geometry of type G / P on a manifold M gives rise to sequences D i of invariant differential operators, known as the curved version of the BGG resolution. These sequences are constructed from the normal covariant derivative ω on the corresponding tractor bundle V , where ω is the normal Cartan connection. The first operator D 0 in the sequence is overdetermined and it is well known that ω yields the prolongation of this operator in the homogeneous case M = G / P . Our first main result...

On a nilpotent Lie superalgebra which generalizes Qn.

José María Ancochea Bermúdez, Otto Rutwig Campoamor (2002)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In Gilg (2000, 2001) the author introduces the notion of filiform Lie superalgebras, generalizing the filiform Lie algebras studied by Vergne in the sixties. In these appers, the superalgebras whose even part is isomorphic to the model filiform Lie algebra Ln are studied and classified in low dimensions. Here we consider a class of superalgebras whose even part is the filiform, naturally graded Lie algebra Qn, which only exists in even dimension as a consequence of the centralizer property. Certain...
