The Intersection Form of Four-Manifolds and Exceptional Group Symmetries
Authors
Abstract
The nontrivial component of the intersection form of nonsmooth four-manifolds is proportional to the Cartan matrix of E8. Since the background geometry of all elementary particle field theories is a smooth four-manifold, this intersection form will be introduced through the embedding of an infinite-genus surface with a nonsmooth structure in the neighbourhood of the ideal boundary.
