Description

The aim of this paper is to study octonion symmetries of the exceptional gauge theories by the methods of geometrical algebra, in particular the orbit method, as applied to the octonion loop. Some properties of octonion and superoctonion symmetries are investigated; their geometry is probably related to superstring compactification. Quantization based on octonion symmetries is also considered
