Monstrous M-theory
Alessio Marrani, Michael Rios, David Chester
In space-time dimensions, we introduce a gravity theory whose massless spectrum can be acted upon by the Monster group when reduced to dimensions. This theory general…
Exceptional Super Yang-Mills in and Worldvolume M-Theory
Michael Rios, Alessio Marrani, David Chester
Bars and Sezgin have proposed a super Yang-Mills theory in space-time dimensions with an electric 3-brane that generalizes the 2-brane of M-theory. More recently, the…
The Magic of Being Exceptional
Alessio Marrani, Piero Truini, Michael Rios
Starting from the Jordan algebraic interpretation of the "Magic Star" embedding within the exceptional sequence of simple Lie algebras, we exploit the so-called spin factor embeddi…
Magic Star and Exceptional Periodicity: an approach to Quantum Gravity
Piero Truini, Alessio Marrani, Michael Rios
We present a periodic infinite chain of finite generalisations of the exceptional structures, including the exceptional Lie algebra , the exceptional Jordan algebra (…
The Geometry of Exceptional Super Yang-Mills Theories
Michael Rios, Alessio Marrani, David Chester
Some time ago, Sezgin, Bars and Nishino have proposed super Yang-Mills theories (SYM's) in and beyond. Using the "Magic Star" projection of , we sho…
U-Duality and the Leech Lattice
Michael Rios
It has recently been shown that the full automorphism group of the Leech lattice, Conway's group Co_0, can be generated by 3 x 3 matrices over the octonions. We show such matrices…
