Tits Construction of the Exceptional Simple Lie Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical Tits construction of the exceptional simple Lie algebras has been extended in a couple of directions by using either Jordan superalgebras or composition superalgebras. These extensions are reviewed here. The outcome has been the discovery of some new simple modular Lie superalgebras.

S4-symmetry on the Tits Construction of Exceptional Lie Algebras and Superalgebras
The classical Tits construction provides models of the exceptional simple Lie algebras in terms of a unital composition algebra and a degree three simple Jordan algebra. A couple of actions of the symmetric group S4 on this construction are given. By means of these actions, the models provided by the Tits construction are related to models of the exceptional Lie algebras obtained from two diffe...
متن کاملMagic Squares and Matrix Models of Lie Algebras
This paper is concerned with the description of exceptional simple Lie algebras as octonionic analogues of the classical matrix Lie algebras. We review the Tits-Freudenthal construction of the magic square, which includes the exceptional Lie algebras as the octonionic case of a construction in terms of a Jordan algebra of hermitian 3× 3 matrices (Tits) or various plane and other geometries (Fre...
متن کاملRealization of locally extended affine Lie algebras of type $A_1$
Locally extended affine Lie algebras were introduced by Morita and Yoshii in [J. Algebra 301(1) (2006), 59-81] as a natural generalization of extended affine Lie algebras. After that, various generalizations of these Lie algebras have been investigated by others. It is known that a locally extended affine Lie algebra can be recovered from its centerless core, i.e., the ideal generated by weight...
متن کاملThe Tits Construction and Some Simple Lie Superalgebras in Characteristic 3
Some simple Lie superalgebras, specific of characteristic 3, defined by S. Bouarroudj and D. Leites [BL06], will be related to the simple alternative and commutative superalgebras discovered by I.P. Shestakov [She97]. Throughout the paper, the ground field k will always be assumed to be of characteristic 6= 2. 1. Tits construction In 1966 [Tit66], Tits gave a unified construction of the excepti...
متن کاملSome New Simple Modular Lie Superalgebras
There are well-known constructions of the exceptional simple Lie algebras of type E8 and F4 which go back to Witt [Wit41], as Z2-graded algebras g = g0̄⊕g1̄ with even part the orthogonal Lie algebras so16 and so9 respectively, and odd part given by their spin representations (see [Ada96]). Brown [Bro82] found a new simple finite dimensional Lie algebra over fields of characteristic 3 which presen...
