E₈ Exceptional Lie Algebra, G₂ Holonomy Manifolds, and K₇ Construction

Complete mathematical foundations for GIFT, presenting E8 architecture and K7 manifold construction.

Lean Verification: ~330 relations (core v3.3.14)

Abstract

This supplement presents the mathematical architecture underlying GIFT. Part I develops E8 exceptional Lie algebra with the Exceptional Chain theorem. Part II introduces G2 holonomy manifolds. Part III establishes K7 manifold construction via twisted connected sum, building compact G2 manifolds by gluing asymptotically cylindrical building blocks. Part IV establishes the algebraic reference form determining det(g) = 65/32; Joyce’s theorem guarantees a torsion-free metric exists within this framework. All results are formally verified in Lean 4.

Part 0: The Octonionic Foundation

0. Why This Framework Exists

GIFT is not built on arbitrary choices. It emerges from a single algebraic fact:

The octonions 𝕆 are the largest normed division algebra.

Everything follows:

𝕆 (octonions, dim 8)
    │
    ▼
Im(𝕆) = ℝ⁷ (imaginary octonions)
    │
    ▼
G₂ = Aut(𝕆) (automorphism group, dim 14)
    │
    ▼
K₇ with G₂ holonomy (proposed compact realization)
    │
    ▼
Topological invariants (b₂ = 21, b₃ = 77)
    │
    ▼
33 dimensionless predictions (18 VERIFIED in Lean + 15 TOPOLOGICAL/HEURISTIC extensions)

Status classification: 18 core relations have algebraic proofs verified in Lean 4 (status: VERIFIED). 15 additional predictions use topological formulas without full Lean verification (status: TOPOLOGICAL or HEURISTIC). See S2 for complete derivations.

0.1 The Division Algebra Chain

Algebra Dim Physics Role Stops?
ℝ 1 Classical mechanics No
ℂ 2 Quantum mechanics No
ℍ 4 Spin, Lorentz group No
𝕆 8 Exceptional structures Yes

The pattern terminates at 𝕆. There is no 16-dimensional normed division algebra. The octonions are the end of the line.

0.2 G₂ as Octonionic Automorphisms

Definition: G₂ = {g ∈ GL(𝕆) : g(xy) = g(x)g(y) for all x,y ∈ 𝕆}

Property Value GIFT Role
dim(G₂) 14 = C(7,2) − C(7,1) = 21 − 7 Q_Koide numerator
Action Transitive on S⁶ ⊂ Im(𝕆) Connects all directions
Embedding G₂ ⊂ SO(7) Preserves φ₀

0.3 Why dim(K₇) = 7

This is not a choice. It is a consequence:

K₇ is to G₂ what the circle is to U(1).

0.4 The Fano Plane: Combinatorial Structure of Im(𝕆)

The 7 imaginary octonion units form the Fano plane PG(2,2), the smallest projective plane:

Combinatorial counts:

Numerical observation: The following identity holds: \((b_3 + \dim(G_2)) + b_3 = 91 + 77 = 168 = |{\rm PSL}(2,7)| = {\rm rank}(E_8) \times b_2\)

Whether this arithmetic coincidence reflects deeper geometric structure connecting gauge and matter sectors remains an open question.

Part I: E₈ Exceptional Lie Algebra

1. Root System and Dynkin Diagram

1.1 Basic Data

Property Value GIFT Role    
Dimension dim(E₈) = 248 Gauge DOF    
Rank rank(E₈) = 8 Cartan subalgebra    
Number of roots   Φ(E₈) = 240 E₈ kissing number
Root length √2 α_s numerator    
Coxeter number h = 30 Icosahedron edges    
Dual Coxeter number h∨ = 30 McKay correspondence    

1.2 Root System Construction

E₈ root system in ℝ⁸ has 240 roots:

Type I (112 roots): Permutations and sign changes of (±1, ±1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

Type II (128 roots): Half-integer coordinates with even minus signs: \(\frac{1}{2}(\pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1)\)

Verification: 112 + 128 = 240 roots, all length √2.

Lean Status (v3.3.14): E₈ Root System 12/12 COMPLETE — All theorems proven:

1.3 Cartan Matrix

\[A_{E_8} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 0 & 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & -1 & 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\]

Properties: det(A) = 1 (unimodular), positive definite.

2. Weyl Group

2.1 Order and Factorization

\[|W(E_8)| = 696,729,600 = 2^{14} \times 3^5 \times 5^2 \times 7\]

2.2 Topological Factorization Theorem

Theorem: The Weyl group order factorizes entirely into GIFT constants:

\[|W(E_8)| = p_2^{\dim(G_2)} \times N_{gen}^{Weyl} \times Weyl^{p_2} \times \dim(K_7)\]
Factor Exponent Value GIFT Origin
2¹⁴ dim(G₂) = 14 16384 p₂^(holonomy dim)
3⁵ Weyl = 5 243 N_gen^(Weyl factor)
5² p₂ = 2 25 Weyl^(binary)
7¹ 1 7 dim(K₇)

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): weyl_E8_topological_factorization

2.3 Triple Derivation of Weyl = 5

Theorem: The Weyl factor admits three independent derivations from topological invariants.

Derivation 1: G₂ Dimensional Ratio

\[\text{Weyl} = \frac{\dim(G_2) + 1}{N_{gen}} = \frac{14 + 1}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5\]

Interpretation: The holonomy dimension plus unity, distributed over generations.

Derivation 2: Betti Reduction

\[\text{Weyl} = \frac{b_2}{N_{gen}} - p_2 = \frac{21}{3} - 2 = 7 - 2 = 5\]

Interpretation: The per-generation Betti contribution minus binary duality.

Derivation 3: Exceptional Difference

\[\text{Weyl} = \dim(G_2) - \text{rank}(E_8) - 1 = 14 - 8 - 1 = 5\]

Interpretation: The gap between holonomy dimension and gauge rank, reduced by unity.

Unified Identity

These three derivations establish the Weyl Triple Identity:

\[\boxed{\frac{\dim(G_2) + 1}{N_{gen}} = \frac{b_2}{N_{gen}} - p_2 = \dim(G_2) - \text{rank}(E_8) - 1 = 5}\]

Status: VERIFIED (algebraic identity from GIFT constants)

Verification

Expression Computation Result
(dim(G₂) + 1) / N_gen (14 + 1) / 3 5
b₂/N_gen - p₂ 21/3 - 2 5
dim(G₂) - rank(E₈) - 1 14 - 8 - 1 5

Significance

The triple convergence indicates Weyl = 5 is not an arbitrary choice but a structural constraint of E₈×E₈/G₂/K₇ geometry. This explains:

  1. det(g) = 65/32: Via Weyl × (rank(E₈) + Weyl) / 2^Weyl = 5 × 13 / 32
  2. ** W(E₈) factorization**: The factor 5² = Weyl^p₂ in prime decomposition
  3. Cosmological ratio: √Weyl = √5 appears in dark sector (see S3)

Status: VERIFIED (three independent derivations)

3. Exceptional Chain

3.1 The Pattern

A pattern connects exceptional algebra dimensions to primes:

Algebra n dim(E_n) Prime Index
E₆ 6 78 13 prime(6)
E₇ 7 133 19 prime(8) = prime(rank(E₈))
E₈ 8 248 31 prime(11) = prime(D_bulk)

3.2 Exceptional Chain Theorem

Theorem: For n ∈ {6, 7, 8}: \(\dim(E_n) = n \times prime(g(n))\)

where g(6) = 6, g(7) = rank(E₈) = 8, g(8) = D_bulk = 11.

Proof (verified in Lean):

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): exceptional_chain_certified

4. E₈×E₈ Product Structure

4.1 Direct Sum

Property Value
Dimension 496 = 248 × 2
Rank 16 = 8 × 2
Roots 480 = 240 × 2

4.2 τ Numerator Connection

The hierarchy parameter numerator: \(\tau_{num} = 3472 = 7 \times 496 = \dim(K_7) \times \dim(E_8 \times E_8)\)

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): tau_num_E8xE8

4.3 Binary Duality Parameter

Triple geometric origin of p₂ = 2:

  1. Local: p₂ = dim(G₂)/dim(K₇) = 14/7 = 2
  2. Global: p₂ = dim(E₈×E₈)/dim(E₈) = 496/248 = 2
  3. Root: √2 in E₈ root normalization

5. Exceptional Algebras from Octonions

The foundational role of octonions is established in Part 0. This section details the exceptional algebraic structures that emerge from 𝕆.

5.1 Exceptional Jordan Algebra J₃(O)

Property Value
dim(J₃(O)) 27 = 3³
dim(J₃(O)₀) 26 (traceless)

E-series formula (v3.3): The dimension 27 itself emerges from the exceptional chain:

\[\dim(J_3(\mathbb{O})) = \frac{\dim(E_8) - \dim(E_6) - \dim(SU_3)}{6} = \frac{248 - 78 - 8}{6} = \frac{162}{6} = 27\]

This shows the Jordan algebra dimension is not arbitrary but DERIVED from the E-series structure.

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): j3o_e_series_certificate

5.2 F₄ Connection

F₄ is the automorphism group of J₃(O): \(\dim(F_4) = 52 = p_2^2 \times \alpha_{sum}^B = 4 \times 13\)

5.3 Exceptional Differences

Difference Value GIFT
dim(E₈) - dim(J₃(O)) 221 = 13 × 17 α_B × λ_H_num
dim(F₄) - dim(J₃(O)) 25 = 5² Weyl²
dim(E₆) - dim(F₄) 26 dim(J₃(O)₀)

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): exceptional_differences_certified

5.4 Structural Derivation of τ (v3.3)

The hierarchy parameter τ admits a purely geometric derivation from framework invariants:

\[\tau = \frac{\dim(E_8 \times E_8) \times b_2}{\dim(J_3(\mathbb{O})) \times H^*} = \frac{496 \times 21}{27 \times 99} = \frac{10416}{2673} = \frac{3472}{891}\]

Prime factorization:

Alternative form: τ_num = 7 × 496 = dim(K₇) × dim(E₈×E₈) = 3472

This anchors τ to topological and algebraic invariants, establishing it as a geometric constant rather than a free parameter.

Part II: G₂ Holonomy Manifolds

6. Definition and Properties

6.1 G₂ as Exceptional Holonomy

Property Value GIFT Role
dim(G₂) 14 Q_Koide numerator
rank(G₂) 2 Lie rank
Definition Aut(O) Octonion automorphisms

Lean Status (v3.3.14): G₂ Cross Product 9/11 proven:

6.2 Holonomy Classification (Berger)

Dimension Holonomy Geometry
7 G₂ Exceptional
8 Spin(7) Exceptional

6.3 Torsion: Definition and GIFT Interpretation

Mathematical definition: Torsion measures failure of G₂ structure to be parallel: \(T = \nabla\phi \neq 0\)

For the 3-form φ, torsion decomposes into four classes W₁ ⊕ W₇ ⊕ W₁₄ ⊕ W₂₇ with total dimension 1 + 7 + 14 + 27 = 49.

Torsion-free condition: \(\nabla\phi = 0 \Leftrightarrow d\phi = 0 \text{ and } d*\phi = 0\)

GIFT interpretation:

Quantity Meaning Value
κ_T = 1/61 Topological capacity for torsion Fixed by K₇
φ_ref Algebraic reference form c × φ₀
T_realized Actual torsion for global solution Constrained by Joyce

Key insight: The 33 dimensionless predictions use only topological invariants (b₂, b₃, dim(G₂)) and are independent of the specific torsion realization. The value κ_T = 1/61 defines the geometric bound on deviations from φ_ref.

Physical interactions: Emerge from the geometry of K₇, with deviations δφ from the reference form bounded by topological constraints. This mechanism is THEORETICAL (see S3 for details).

7. Topological Invariants

7.1 Derived Constants

Constant Formula Value
det(g) p₂ + 1/(b₂ + dim(G₂) - N_gen) 65/32
κ_T 1/(b₃ - dim(G₂) - p₂) 1/61
sin²θ_W b₂/(b₃ + dim(G₂)) 3/13

7.2 The 61 Decomposition

\[\kappa_T^{-1} = 61 = \dim(F_4) + N_{gen}^2 = 52 + 9\]

Alternative: \(61 = \Pi(\alpha^2_B) + 1 = 2 \times 5 \times 6 + 1\)

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): kappa_T_inv_decomposition

Part III: K₇ Manifold Construction

8. Twisted Connected Sum Framework

8.1 TCS Construction

The twisted connected sum (TCS) construction provides the primary method for constructing compact G₂ manifolds from asymptotically cylindrical building blocks.

Key insight: G₂ manifolds can be built by gluing two asymptotically cylindrical (ACyl) G₂ manifolds along their cylindrical ends, with the topology controlled by a twist diffeomorphism φ.

8.2 Asymptotically Cylindrical G₂ Manifolds

Definition: A complete Riemannian 7-manifold (M, g) with G₂ holonomy is asymptotically cylindrical (ACyl) if there exists a compact subset K ⊂ M such that M \ K is diffeomorphic to (T₀, ∞) × N for some compact 6-manifold N.

8.3 Building Blocks (v3.3: Both Betti Numbers Derived)

For the GIFT framework, K₇ is constructed from two specific ACyl building blocks:

M₁: Quintic in CP⁴

M₂: Complete Intersection CI(2,2,2) in CP⁶

Building Block b₂ b₃ Origin
M₁ (Quintic) 11 40 Calabi-Yau geometry
M₂ (CI) 10 37 Calabi-Yau geometry
K₇ (TCS) 21 77 Mayer-Vietoris

Key result (v3.3): Both Betti numbers are DERIVED from the TCS formula, not input:

This is genuine mathematics: the building block data comes from Calabi-Yau geometry (computed via standard techniques), and the TCS combination is rigorously derived from Mayer-Vietoris.

The compact manifold: \(K_7 = M_1 \cup_\phi M_2\)

Global properties:

Combinatorial connections:

Status: TOPOLOGICAL (Lean 4 verified: TCS_master_derivation)

9. Cohomological Structure

9.1 Mayer-Vietoris Analysis

The Mayer-Vietoris sequence provides the primary tool for computing cohomology:

\[\cdots \to H^{k-1}(N) \xrightarrow{\delta} H^k(K_7) \xrightarrow{i^*} H^k(M_1) \oplus H^k(M_2) \xrightarrow{j^*} H^k(N) \to \cdots\]

9.2 Betti Number Derivation

Result for b₂: The sequence analysis yields: \(b_2(K_7) = b_2(M_1) + b_2(M_2) = 11 + 10 = 21\)

Result for b₃: Similarly: \(b_3(K_7) = b_3(M_1) + b_3(M_2) = 40 + 37 = 77\)

Status: TOPOLOGICAL (exact)

9.3 Complete Betti Spectrum and Poincaré Duality

For a compact G₂-holonomy 7-manifold K₇, Poincaré duality gives b_k = b_{7-k}:

k b_k(K₇) Derivation
0 1 Connected
1 0 Simply connected (G₂ holonomy)
2 21 TCS: 11 + 10
3 77 TCS: 40 + 37
4 77 Poincaré duality: b₄ = b₃
5 21 Poincaré duality: b₅ = b₂
6 0 Poincaré duality: b₆ = b₁
7 1 Poincaré duality: b₇ = b₀

Euler characteristic: For any compact oriented odd-dimensional manifold, χ = 0: \(\chi(K_7) = \sum_{k=0}^{7} (-1)^k b_k = 1 - 0 + 21 - 77 + 77 - 21 + 0 - 1 = 0\)

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): euler_char_K7_is_zero, poincare_duality_K7

Effective cohomological dimension: \(H^* = b_2 + b_3 + 1 = 21 + 77 + 1 = 99\)

9.4 The Structural Constant 42 (v3.3)

The number 42 appears throughout GIFT as a derived topological invariant:

\[42 = 2 \times 3 \times 7 = p_2 \times N_{gen} \times \dim(K_7)\]

Multiple derivations:

Formula Value Interpretation
p₂ × N_gen × dim(K₇) 2 × 3 × 7 = 42 Binary × generations × fiber
2 × b₂ 2 × 21 = 42 Twice the gauge moduli
b₃ - C(7,3) 77 - 35 = 42 Global vs local 3-forms

Connection to b₃ decomposition: \(b_3 = 77 = C(7,3) + 42 = 35 + 2 \times b_2\)

The 35 local modes correspond to Λ³(ℝ⁷) fiber forms; the 42 global modes arise from the TCS structure.

Status: VERIFIED (Lean 4): structural_42_gift_form, structural_42_from_b2

9.5 Third Betti Number Decomposition

The b₃ = 77 harmonic 3-forms decompose as:

\[H^3(K_7) = H^3_{\text{local}} \oplus H^3_{\text{global}}\]
Component Dimension Origin
H³_local 35 = C(7,3) Λ³(ℝ⁷) fiber forms
H³_global 42 = 2 × 21 TCS global modes

Verification: 35 + 42 = 77

Status: TOPOLOGICAL

Part IV: Metric Structure and Verification

10. Structural Metric Invariants

10.1 The Zero-Parameter Paradigm

The GIFT framework proposes that all metric invariants derive from fixed mathematical structure. The constraints are inputs; the specific geometry is emergent.

Invariant Formula Value Status
κ_T 1/(b₃ - dim(G₂) - p₂) 1/61 TOPOLOGICAL
det(g) (Weyl × (rank(E₈) + Weyl))/2⁵ 65/32 TOPOLOGICAL

10.2 Torsion Magnitude κ_T = 1/61

Derivation: \(\kappa_T = \frac{1}{b_3 - \dim(G_2) - p_2} = \frac{1}{77 - 14 - 2} = \frac{1}{61}\)

Interpretation:

Status: TOPOLOGICAL

10.3 Metric Determinant det(g) = 65/32

Topological formula (exact target): \(\det(g) = \frac{\text{Weyl} \times (\text{rank}(E_8) + \text{Weyl})}{2^{\text{Weyl}}} = \frac{5 \times 13}{32} = \frac{65}{32}\)

Alternative derivations (all equivalent):

Status: TOPOLOGICAL (exact rational value)

11. Formal Certification

11.1 The Algebraic Reference Form

The algebraic reference form in a local G₂-adapted orthonormal coframe:

\(\varphi_{\text{ref}} = c \cdot \varphi_0, \quad c = \left(\frac{65}{32}\right)^{1/14}\) \(g_{\text{ref}} = c^2 \cdot I_7 = \left(\frac{65}{32}\right)^{1/7} \cdot I_7\)

Important clarification: This representation holds in a local orthonormal frame. The manifold K₇ constructed via TCS is curved and compact; “I₇” reflects the frame choice, not global flatness. The reference form φ_ref determines det(g) = 65/32; the global torsion-free solution φ_TF exists by Joyce’s theorem.

Property Value Status
det(g) 65/32 EXACT (algebraic)
φ_ref components 7/35 20% sparsity
Joyce threshold ‖T‖ < ε₀ = 0.1 Satisfied (224× margin)

11.2 Joyce Existence Theorem and Global Solutions

Important clarification: The reference form φ_ref = c·φ₀ is the canonical G₂ structure in a local orthonormal coframe, not a globally constant form on K₇. On a compact TCS manifold, the coframe 1-forms {eⁱ} satisfy deⁱ ≠ 0 in general, so “constant components” does not imply dφ = 0 globally.

Actual solution structure: The topology and geometry of K₇ impose a deformation: \(\varphi = \varphi_{\text{ref}} + \delta\varphi\)

The torsion-free condition (dφ = 0, d*φ = 0) is a global constraint. Joyce’s perturbation theorem guarantees existence of a torsion-free G₂ metric when the initial torsion satisfies ‖T‖ < ε₀ = 0.1. PINN validation (N=1000) confirms ‖T‖_max = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴, providing a 224× safety margin.

Why GIFT satisfies Joyce’s criterion: The topological bound κ_T = 1/61 constrains ‖δφ‖, ensuring the manifold lies within Joyce’s perturbative regime where a torsion-free solution exists.

11.3 Independent Numerical Validation (PINN)

Physics-Informed Neural Network provides independent numerical validation:

Metric Value Significance
‖T‖_max 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ 224× below Joyce ε₀
‖T‖_mean 9.8 × 10⁻⁵ T → 0 confirmed
Lipschitz L_eff ~10⁻⁵ Perturbations negligible
det(g) error < 10⁻⁶ Confirms 65/32
Contraction K 0.9 Banach fixed-point applies

Numerical Certificate (v3.3):

The PINN converges to the standard form, validating the analytical solution. See K7_Explicit_Metric_v3_2.ipynb for reproducible certification.

11.4 Lean 4 Formalization

Scope of verification: The Lean formalization verifies:

  1. Arithmetic identities (e.g., 14/21 = 2/3)
  2. Algebraic relations between GIFT constants
  3. Numerical bounds (e.g., torsion threshold)

It does not formalize:

-- GIFT.Foundations.AnalyticalMetric

def phi0_indices : List (Fin 7 × Fin 7 × Fin 7) :=
  [(0,1,2), (0,3,4), (0,5,6), (1,3,5), (1,4,6), (2,3,6), (2,4,5)]

def phi0_signs : List Int := [1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1]

12. Analytical G₂ Metric Details

12.1 The Standard Form φ₀

The associative 3-form preserved by G₂ ⊂ SO(7), introduced by Harvey and Lawson (1982) in their foundational work on calibrated geometries:

\[\varphi_0 = \sum_{(i,j,k) \in \mathcal{I}} \sigma_{ijk} \, e^{ijk}\]

where:

12.2 Linear Index Representation

In the C(7,3) = 35 basis:

Index Triple Sign Index Triple Sign
0 (0,1,2) +1 23 (1,4,6) -1
9 (0,3,4) +1 27 (2,3,6) -1
14 (0,5,6) +1 28 (2,4,5) -1
20 (1,3,5) +1      

All other 28 components are exactly 0.

12.3 Metric Derivation

From φ₀, the metric is computed via: \(g_{ij} = \frac{1}{6} \sum_{k,l} \varphi_{ikl} \varphi_{jkl}\)

For standard φ₀: g = I₇ (identity), det(g) = 1.

Scaling φ → c·φ gives g → c²·g, hence det(g) → c¹⁴·det(g).

Setting c¹⁴ = 65/32 yields the GIFT metric.

12.4 Comparison: Fano Plane vs G₂ Form

Structure 7 Triples Role
Fano lines (0,1,3), (1,2,4), (2,3,5), (3,4,6), (4,5,0), (5,6,1), (6,0,2) G₂ cross-product ε_{ijk}
G₂ form (0,1,2), (0,3,4), (0,5,6), (1,3,5), (1,4,6), (2,3,6), (2,4,5) Associative 3-form

Both have 7 terms but different index patterns. The Fano plane defines the octonion multiplication (cross-product), while the G₂ form is the associative calibration.
