abstract

Normed division rings are reviewed in the more general framework of composition algebras that include the split (indefinite metric) case. The Jordan - von Neumann - Wigner classification of finite dimensional Jordan algebras is outlined with special attention to the 27 dimensional exceptional Jordan algebra J. The automorphism group F_4 of J and its maximal Borel - de Siebenthal subgroups are studied in detail and applied to the classification of fundamental fermions and gauge bosons. Their intersection in F_4 is demonstrated to coincide with the gauge group of the Standard Model of particle physics. The first generation's fundamental fermions form a basis of primitive idempotents in the euclidean extension of the Jordan subalgebra JSpin_9 of J.

Fermion Mass Hierarchies and the Exceptional Jordan Algebra

hep-ph · 2026-05-24 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Phenomenological deformation of an exceptional-Jordan framework that fits hierarchy exponent and normalizations to six charged-fermion mass ratios at MZ, yielding power-law relations while accommodating neutrino orderings.

Octonions, complex structures and Standard Model fermions

hep-th · 2025-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

The Standard Model gauge group is characterized as a subgroup of Spin(10) via two suitably aligned commuting complex structures on R^10 encoded in orthogonal pure spinors whose sum is pure, described efficiently with octonions.
