Abstract: (Springer)
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 J3(O)J_3(O) and the exceptional groups F4F_4 and E6E_6.
