Octonions, G2 and generalized Lie 3-algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct an explicit example of a generalized Lie 3-algebra from the octonions. In combination with the result of [1], this gives rise to a three-dimensional N = 2 Chern-Simons-matter theory with exceptional gauge group G2 and with global symmetry SU(4) × U(1). This gives a possible candidate for the theory on multiple M2-branes with G2 gauge symmetry.

A quaternionic approach to E 7
The classical Lie algebras over the complex numbers are all derived from associative algebras by defining a Lie bracket [A,B] = AB−BA, but the five exceptional Lie algebras are often defined directly as Lie algebras. In four cases, however, an alternative approach is available to construct both the algebra and the corresponding Lie group. It is well-known that the Lie group G2 is naturally defi...
متن کاملThe Sextonions and E 7
We fill in the “hole” in the exceptional series of Lie algebras that was observed by Cvitanovic, Deligne, Cohen and deMan. More precisely, we show that the intermediate Lie algebra between e7 and e8 satisfies some of the decomposition and dimension formulas of the exceptional simple Lie algebras. A key role is played by the sextonions, a six dimensional algebra between the quaternions and octon...
متن کاملG 2 and the Rolling Ball
Understanding the exceptional Lie groups as the symmetry groups of simpler objects is a longstanding program in mathematics. Here, we explore one famous realization of the smallest exceptional Lie group, G2. Its Lie algebra g2 acts locally as the symmetries of a ball rolling on a larger ball, but only when the ratio of radii is 1:3. Using the split octonions, we devise a similar, but more globa...

In this paper, using fixed point method, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of random homomorphisms in random $C^*$-algebras and random Lie $C^*$-algebras and of derivations on Non-Archimedean random C$^*$-algebras and Non-Archimedean random Lie C$^*$-algebras for the following $m$-variable additive functional equation: $$sum_{i=1}^m f(x_i)=frac{1}{2m}left[sum_{i=1}^mfle...

Using fixed point method, we prove some new stability results for Lie $(alpha,beta,gamma)$-derivations and Lie $C^{ast}$-algebra homomorphisms on Lie $C^{ast}$-algebras associated with the Euler-Lagrange type additive functional equation begin{align*} sum^{n}_{j=1}f{bigg(-r_{j}x_{j}+sum_{1leq i leq n, ineq j}r_{i}x_{i}bigg)}+2sum^{n}_{i=1}r_{i}f(x_{i})=nf{bigg(sum^{n}_{i=1}r_{i}x_{i}bigg)} end{...
