On the Role of Division, Jordan and Related Algebras in Particle Physics

by Feza Gursey, Feza Gürsey, Chia-Hsiung Tze, et al.

This monograph surveys the role of some associative and non-associative algebras, remarkable by their ubiquitous appearance in contemporary theoretical physics, particularly in particle physics. It concerns the interplay between division algebras, specifically quaternions and octonions, between Jordan and related algebras on the one hand, and unified theories of the basic interactions on the other. Selected applications of these algebraic structures...
