We interpret an open orbit in a 32-dimensional representation space of Spin(9,1) x SL(2,R) as a substitute for the non-existent group of invertible 2x2 matrices over the octonions and study various natural homogeneous subspaces. The approach is via twistor geometry in eight dimensions.

The main purpose of this paper is calculation of differential invariants which arise from prolonged actions of two Lie groups SL(2) and SL(3) on the $n$th jet space of $R^2$. It is necessary to calculate $n$th prolonged infenitesimal generators of the action.
We prove simplicity, and compute $delta$-derivations and symmetric associative forms of algebras in the title.
We show that for every nonelementary representation of a surface group into $SL(2,{mathbb C})$ there is a Riemann surface structure such that the Higgs bundle associated to the representation lies outside the discriminant locus of the Hitchin fibration.
We consider the action of $SL(2,mathbb{R})$ on a vector bundle $mathbf{H}$ preserving an ergodic probability measure $ u$ on the base $X$. Under an irreducibility assumption on this action, we prove that if $hat u$ is any lift of $ u$ to a probability measure on the projectivized bunde $mathbb{P}(mathbf{H})$ that is invariant under the upper triangular subgroup, then $hat u$ is supported in the projectivization $mathbb{P}(mathbf{E}_1)$ of the top Lyapunov subspace of the positive diagonal semigroup. We derive two applications. First, the Lyapunov exponents for the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle depend continuously on affine measures, answering a question in [MMY]. Second, if $mathbb{P}(mathbf{V})$ is an irreducible, flat projective bundle over a compact hyperbolic surface $Sigma$, with hyperbolic foliation $mathcal{F}$ tangent to the flat connection, then the foliated horocycle flow on $T^1mathcal{F}$ is uniquely ergodic if the top Lyapunov exponent of the foliated geodesic flow is simple. This generalizes results in [BG] to arbitrary dimension.
In this paper we develop two coadjoint orbit constructions for the phase spaces of the generalised $Sl(2)$ and $Sl(3)$ KdV hierachies. This involves the construction of two group actions in terms of Yang Baxter operators, and an Hamiltonian reduction of the coadjoint orbits. The Poisson brackets are reproduced by the Kirillov construction. From this construction we obtain a `natural gauge fixing proceedure for the generalised hierarchies.
