Mathematical/Physical uses of $SO(8)$ and Spin(8) triality

Seiberg and Witten showed that the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with $N_f=4$ flavor is endowed with SO(8) flavor symmetry, and it enjoys SO(8) triality. Later, Gaiotto's construc …

Non-triviality of a Postnikov class in $H^3\left(B \operatorname{PSU}(N) ; \mathbb{Z}_q\right)$

Let $\alpha\in H^2(B\operatorname{PSU}(N) ; \mathbb{Z}_N)$ be the obstruction class for lifting a $\operatorname{PSU}(N)$-bundle to an $\mathrm{SU}(N)$-bundle. Note that $\operatorname{PSU}(N)\cong \o …

Homotopy equivalence of Lens spaces

I find the following statement about the homotopy equivalence of Lens spaces in Wikipedia. The three-dimensional spaces $L(p,q_1)$ and $L(p,q_2)$ are homotopy equivalent if and only if $q_1 q_2\equiv …
