Abstract

We give a new construction of the minimal unitary representation of the exceptional group E₈₍₈₎ on a Hilbert space of complex functions in 29 variables. Due to their manifest covariance with respect to the E₇₍₇₎ subgroup of E₈₍₈₎ our formulas are simpler than previous realizations, and thus well suited for applications in superstring and M theory.
