Hurwitz Algebras at the Core of Classification of Possible Symmetries in Hadronic Physics
摘要
The last of the Hurwitz algebras, octonions, and their various applications in hadronic physics are exploited. We point to relations of new algebras labeled by R appearing in Galois theory and those marked by the script l that appear in superstring theories, closely related to split-octonion algebra utilized in the description of dynamical hadronic supersymmetry. We further elaborate on Jordan algebras, magic squares, seven spheres, and supergravity, pointing to the existence of a larger theory with a 27-dimensional lattice and unifying all known superstring theories. Dynamical supersymmetries based on SU(m/n) groups in hadronic and nuclear physics are briefly discussed.
