A Complex Qutrit Inside an Octonionic One
Posted by John Baez
Dubois-Violette and Todorov noticed that the Standard Model gauge group is the intersection of two maximal subgroups of . I’m trying to understand these subgroups better.
Very roughly speaking, is the symmetry group of an octonionic qutrit. Of the two subgroups I’m talking about, one preserves a chosen octonionic qubit, while the other preserves a chosen complex qutrit.
A precise statement is here:
Over on Mathstodon I’m working with.
