𝐸₈, the most exceptional group

S Garibaldi - Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 2016 - ams.org
The five exceptional simple Lie algebras over the complex number are included one within
the other as $\mathfrak {g} _2\subset\mathfrak {f} _4\subset\mathfrak {e} _6\subset\mathfrak …

Axial algebras of Jordan and Monster type

J McInroy, S Shpectorov - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.08043, 2022 - arxiv.org
Axial algebras are a class of non-associative commutative algebras whose properties are
defined in terms of a fusion law. When this fusion law is graded, the algebra has a naturally …

[HTML][HTML] Notes on G2: the Lie algebra and the Lie group

CD Fontanals - Differential Geometry and its Applications, 2018 - Elsevier
These notes have been prepared for the Workshop on “(Non)-existence of complex

Supersymmetry and the Suzuki chain

T Johnson-Freyd - Tunisian Journal of Mathematics, 2020 - msp.org
We classify N= 1 SVOAs with no free fermions and with bosonic subalgebra a simply
connected WZW algebra which is not of type E. The latter restriction makes the classification …

Generic stabilizers in actions of simple algebraic groups

RM Guralnick, R Lawther - arXiv preprint arXiv:1904.13375, 2019 - arxiv.org
In this paper we treat faithful actions of simple algebraic groups on irreducible modules and
on the associated Grassmannian varieties. By explicit calculation, we show that in each …

[HTML][HTML] Geometric aspects of iterated matrix multiplication

F Gesmundo - Journal of Algebra, 2016 - Elsevier
This paper studies geometric properties of the Iterated Matrix Multiplication polynomial and
the hypersurface that it defines. We focus on geometric aspects that may be relevant for …

Linear preservers of secant varieties and other varieties of tensors

F Gesmundo, YI Han, B Lovitz - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.16767, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of characterizing linear preserver subgroups of algebraic varieties,
with a particular emphasis on secant varieties and other varieties of tensors. We introduce a …

Spinors and essential dimension

S Garibaldi, RM Guralnick - Compositio Mathematica, 2017 - cambridge.org
We prove that spin groups act generically freely on various spinor modules, in the sense of
group schemes and in a way that does not depend on the characteristic of the base field. As …

A class of continuous non-associative algebras arising from algebraic groups including

M Chayet, S Garibaldi - Forum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2021 - cambridge.org
We give a construction that takes a simple linear algebraic group G over a field and
produces a commutative, unital, and simple non-associative algebra A over that field. Two …
