Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0724.00013.] This paper is the continuation of the paper by D. Olive reviewed above. Here the author explains in more detail the main ideas of Olive's paper. Finally he describes a generalization of this construction. In some case it is possible to define a multiplication operation between two different algebras and to obtain a third algebra which is simply laced. This leads to Freudenthal's magic square and generalizations. The author notes that this ``structure is likely to be of importance in superstring theory.
