Abstract: (Springer)
Two representations of the exceptional Jordan algebra are presented, one in terms of bose vertex operators, and the other in terms of superstring vertex operators in bosonised form, including their BRST ghost contributions. It is also shown how the non-exceptional Jordan algebras may be constructed similarly.
