The exceptional Jordan algebra and the superstring
The result of \textit{P. Goddard}, \textit{W. Nahm}, \textit{D. Olive}, \textit{H. Ruegg}, and \textit{A. Schwimmer} [Commun. Math. Phys. 112, 385-408 (1987; Zbl 0632.17009)] and its amplification by Ruegg (see the preceding review) on the representation of the product of certain elements of the exceptional Jordan algebra by \(F_ 4\) and \(D_ 4\) vertex operators is completed to a representation of the whole exceptional Jordan algebra by \(E_ 6\) and \(F_ 4\) vertex operators corresponding to the roots of \(E_ 6\) and the weights of its 27 dimensional representation including three momentum operators. There is a hint how a similar procedure may lead to analoguous results for non exceptional Jordan algebras of quaternion \(N\times N\) matrices using the Lie algebras \({\mathfrak su}(2N)\) and \({\mathfrak sp}(N)\) instead of \(E_ 6\) and \(F_ 4\). The physical aim of the paper is to make ``more concrete a suspicion that there should be a relationship between the exceptional Jordan algebra and the vertex operators of the superstring.
