An Octonionic Gauge Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonassociativity of the octonion algebra necessitates a bimodule representation, in which each element is represented by a left and a right multiplier. This representation can then be used to generate gauge transformations for the purpose of constructing a field theory symmetric under a gauged octonion algebra, the nonassociativity of which appears as a failure of the representation to close, and hence produces new interactions in the gauge field kinetic term of the symmetric Lagrangian. 02.10.Vr, 11.15.-q

Octonionic Ternary Gauge Field Theories Revisited
An octonionic ternary gauge field theory is explicitly constructed based on a ternary-bracket defined earlier by Yamazaki. The ternary infinitesimal gauge transformations do obey the key closure relations [δ1, δ2] = δ3. An invariant action for the octonionic-valued gauge fields is displayed after solving the previous problems in formulating a non-associative octonionic ternary gauge field theory.
متن کاملGauging the Octonion Algebra
By considering representation theory for non-associative algebras we construct the fundamental and adjoint representations of the octonion algebra. We then show how these representations by associative matrices allow a consistent octonionic gauge theory to be realized. We find that non-associativity implies the existence of new terms in the transformation laws of fields and the kinetic term of ...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Jordan Matrix Models
We investigate the spectral geometry of the exceptional Jordan algebra and its extensions. We examine the spectrum of the exceptional Jordan algebra over the sixteen-dimensional space of primitive idempotents, where it exhibits three real eigenvalues. We interpret the spectrum as coordinates for a coincident D-brane system where the real eigenvalues correspond to positions of three D0-branes on...
متن کاملSeven Dimensional Octonionic Yang-Mills Instanton and its Extension to an Heterotic String Soliton
We construct an octonionic instanton solution to the seven dimensional YangMills theory based on the exceptional gauge group G2 which is the automorphism group of the division algebra of octonions. This octonionic instanton has an extension to a solitonic solution of the low energy effective theory of the heterotic string that preserves two of the sixteen supersymmetries and hence corresponds t...

In this review we present the octonionic duality for membranes. We start with a discussion on the relation of the Yang Mills theories and the supermembrane Hamil-tonian in the light-cone gauge. We further derive the self-duality equations for the membranes and discuss the integrability of the system in 7 and 3 dimensions. Finally , we present classical Euclidean time solutions of these equation...
