Left-Right symmetric fermions and sterile neutrinos from complex split biquaternions and bioctonions

Abstract

In this article we investigate the application of complex split biquaternions and bioctonions to the standard model. We show that the Clifford algebras Cl(3) and Cl(7) can be used for making left-right symmetric fermions. Hence we incorporate right-handed neutrinos in the division algebras based approach to the standard model. The right-handed neutrinos, also known as sterile neutrinos, are a potential dark-matter candidate. We discuss the left-right symmetric fermions and their phenomenology using the division algebra approach. We describe the gauge groups associated with the left-right symmetric model and prospects for unification through division algebras. We investigate the possibility of obtaining three generations of fermions and charge/mass ratios through the exceptional Jordan algebra $J_3(O)$ and the exceptional groups $F_4$ and $E_6$.
