Abstract: We discuss the eigenvalue problem for 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices which is relevant to the Jordan formulation of quantum mechanics. In contrast to the eigenvalue problems considered in our previous work, all eigenvalues are real and solve the usual characteristic equation. We give an elementary construction of the corresponding eigenmatrices, and we further speculate on a possible application to particle physics.

Review text

The eigenvalue problem for \(3\times 3\) octonion Hermitian matrices of the exceptional Jordan algebra is studied. Eigenmatrices are constructed and using the Jordan formulation of quantum mechanics it is speculated where this mathematics could be useful in physics. The appendix shows how \(F_4\) transformations can be used to diagonalize \(3\times 3\) octonionic matrices of the exceptional Jordan algebra.
