Abstract
In this article we investigate the application of complex split biquaternions and bioctonions to the standard model. We show that the Clifford algebras Cl(3) and Cl(7) can be used for making left-right symmetric fermions. Hence we incorporate right-handed neutrinos in the division algebras-based approach to the standard model. The right-handed neutrinos, or sterile neutrinos, are a potential dark-matter candidate. Using the division algebra approach, we discuss the left-right symmetric fermions and their phenomenology. We describe the gauge groups associated with the left-right symmetric model and prospects for unification through division algebras. We briefly discuss the possibility of obtaining three generations of fermions and charge/mass ratios through the exceptional Jordan algebra \(J_3(O)\) and the exceptional groups \(F_4\) and \(E_6\).
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
