SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the mathematical intricacies of the paper "An Exceptionally Technical Discussion of AESToE," particularly the unusual math and notation such as vector-form contraction. Key issues identified include specific errata in the paper, such as the need for scaling factors in matrices on pages 18 and 22, and the misidentification of the non-compact version of E8 on page 29. Participants engage in detailed discussions about the g2-su(3) relation, Lie algebra representations, and the implications of using computational tools like Mathematica for these mathematical constructs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lie algebra and representation theory
  • Familiarity with vector spaces and direct sums
  • Knowledge of mathematical notation, particularly TeX typesetting
  • Experience with computational tools such as Mathematica or GAP
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the implications of g2-su(3) relations in representation theory
  • Study the specifics of Lie algebra elements and their matrix representations
  • Learn about the Levi-Malcev decomposition in the context of algebraic structures
  • Investigate the application of computational tools in mathematical physics
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, students, and educators in mathematics and physics, particularly those interested in advanced topics in Lie algebra, representation theory, and computational methods in theoretical physics.

Why did you point the citations for garrett's articles?

First because it is interesting to remark that there are some :-)

Second, because of the second one in the list, Supersymmetry and Polytopes, which is an argument independent from Garret's (and from Tony's) but touching the same theme, plus susy.

Arivero, did you know that an attemptive version of SUSY E(8) GUT exists since the 80's?

And also that recently it was found that F-Theory together with M-Theory with the usual standard model as a low energy limit, which might be need to be embeded in an E(8)?

Yes, I knew :cool: It is only that the particle content seems, to me, excesive.

Does AESTOE make any new predictions, in terms of quantum gravity? Does it calculate black hole entropy?

It's not a quantum theory and not consistent anyway, as far as we know.
