Gravity as the square of gauge theory: a review

L Borsten - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2020 - Springer
We briefly review the manifold incarnations and facets of the notion that gravity, in certain
regards, can be re-conceived as the product of two gauge theories. We begin with a short …

Yang-Mills origin of gravitational symmetries

A Anastasiou, L Borsten, MJ Duff, LJ Hughes… - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
By regarding gravity as the convolution of left and right Yang-Mills theories together with a
spectator scalar field in the biadjoint representation, we derive in linearized approximation …

Gravity as the square of Yang–Mills?☆

L Borsten, MJ Duff - Physica Scripta, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
In these lectures we review how symmetries of gravitational theories may be regarded as
originating from those of'Yang–Mills squared'. We begin by motivating the idea that certain …

An exceptional G(2) extension of the Standard Model from the correspondence with Cayley–Dickson algebras automorphism groups

N Masi - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
In this article I propose a new criterion to extend the Standard Model of particle physics from
a straightforward algebraic conjecture: the symmetries of physical microscopic forces …

Global symmetries of Yang-Mills squared in various dimensions

A Anastasiou, L Borsten, MJ Hughes… - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract Tensoring two on-shell super Yang-Mills multiplets in dimensions D≤ 10 yields an
on-shell supergravity multiplet, possibly with additional matter multiplets. Associating a …

A minimal and non-alternative realisation of the Cayley plane

D Corradetti, A Marrani, F Zucconi - ANNALI DELL'UNIVERSITA'DI …, 2024 - Springer
The compact 16-dimensional Moufang plane, also known as the Cayley plane, has
traditionally been defined through the lens of octonionic geometry. In this study, we present …

Rosenfeld projective lines except over the Dixon algebra\(\mathbb {C}\otimes\mathbb …

A new division algebra representation of E8

T Dray, CA Manogue, RA Wilson - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
We construct the well-known decomposition of the Lie algebra e8 into representations of
e6⊕ su (3) using explicit matrix representations over pairs of division algebras. The minimal …
