Algebraic structures lie at the heart of modern particle physics, providing a unifying language for symmetries, interactions and the organisation of matter. Lie algebras describe the continuous ...
Algebraic structures provide the language and framework for formulating fundamental laws in modern physics, especially in areas where symmetry, quantisation and unification are paramount. Lie algebras ...
New findings are fueling an old suspicion that fundamental particles and forces spring from strange eight-part numbers called “octonions.” In 2014, a graduate student at the University of Waterloo, ...
