Abstract

The conjecture of a hidden E10 symmetry of M-theory is supported by the close connection between the dynamics of D = 11 supergravity near a spacelike singularity and a truncation of an one-dimensional ?-model with E10 symmetry where all representations beyond SL(10) level ell = 3 are omitted. If this conjecture is right, higher-level representations should especially capture the dynamics of further M-theory degrees of freedom. Unfortunately, the level by level determination of E10 commutators which is necessary to extend the model to higher levels is both an involved and toilsome task that requires computer aid. In this work, some of the relevant problems are exposed and algorithmic methods are developed which simplify key steps in the determination of explicit E10 commutators at higher levels. As an application, we compute the commutator of the level-two six-form with itself
