From cubic norm pairs to - and -graded groups and Lie algebras
Tom De Medts, Torben Wiedemann
We construct Lie algebras arising from cubic norm pairs over arbitrary commutative base rings. Such Lie algebras admit a grading by a root system of type , and when the cubic…
Constructing Chayet-Garibaldi algebras from affine vertex algebras (including the 3876-dimensional algebra for )
Tom De Medts, Louis Olyslager
In 2021, Maurice Chayet and Skip Garibaldi provided an explicit construction of a commutative non-associative algebra on the second smallest representation of (of dimension $…
Lattice envelopes of right-angled Artin groups
Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace, Tom De Medts
Let be a finite simplicial graph with at least two vertices, and let be the associated right-angled Artin group. We describe a locally compact group conta…
-graded Lie algebras, cubic norm structures and quadrangular algebras
Tom De Medts, Jeroen Meulewaeter
We study simple Lie algebras generated by extremal elements, over arbitrary fields of arbitrary characteristic. We show: (1) If the extremal geometry contains lines, then the Lie a…
