Symmetric triality relations and structurable algebras

Structurable equivalence relations

For a class K of countable relational structures, a countable Borel equivalence relation E is said to be K-structurable if there is a Borel way to put a structure in K on each E-equivalence class. We study in this paper the global structure of the classes of K-structurable equivalence relations for various K. We show that K-structurability interacts well with several kinds of Borel homomorphism...

Hopf Algebras with Triality

In this paper we revisit and extend the constructions of Glauberman and Doro on groups with triality and Moufang loops to Hopf algebras. We prove that the universal enveloping algebra of any Lie algebra with triality is a Hopf algebra with triality. This allows us to give a new construction of the universal enveloping algebras of Malcev algebras. Our work relies on the approach of Grishkov and ...

Lie Algebras with Triality

Lie Algebras with S 4 -action and Structurable Algebras

Abstract. The normal symmetric triality algebras (STA’s) and the normal Lie related triple algebras (LRTA’s) have been recently introduced by the second author, in connection with the principle of triality. It turns out that the unital normal LRTA’s are precisely the structurable algebras extensively studied by Allison. It will be shown that the normal STA’s (respectively LRTA’s) are the algebr...

Degeneracy of Triality-symmetric Morphisms

We define a new symmetry for morphisms of vector bundles, called triality symmetry, and compute Chern class formulas for the degeneracy loci of such morphisms. In an appendix, we show how to canonically associate an octonion algebra bundle to any rank 2 vector bundle.
