Three generations, two unbroken gauge symmetries, and one eight-dimensional algebra
N. Furey
A considerable amount of the standard model's three-generation structure can be realised from just the -dimensional algebra of the complex octonions. Inde…
Standard model physics from an algebra?
C. Furey
This thesis constitutes a first attempt to derive aspects of standard model particle physics from little more than an algebra. Here, we argue that physical concepts such as particl…
Charge quantization from a number operator
C. Furey
We explain how an unexpected algebraic structure, the division algebras, can be seen to underlie a generation of quarks and leptons. From this new vantage point, electrons and quar…
Generations: Three Prints, in Colour
Cohl Furey
We point out a somewhat mysterious appearance of representations, which exhibit the behaviour of three full generations of standard model particles. These representations…
Towards a unified theory of ideals
C. Furey
Unified field theories act to merge the internal symmetries of the standard model into a single group. Here we lay out something different. That is, instead of aiming to unify the…
