The exceptional Jordan algebra (2020)

I wonder if there is any connection of this being on the front page today with this paper [0] being uploaded on arXiv today or if it&#x27;s just pure coincidence.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2503.10744" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2503.10744</a>

What i think is super cool about h3(O) is that you have scalars, a vector and two spinors in one object with the jordan-product giving you all the products between them that have to do with triality. See section 3.4 of John Baez&#x27; paper on the octonions.

Intriguing! I remember when Jordan algebras were the talk of the theoretical math town. Time to revisit the scene!
