Tensor models and 3-ary algebras
  Tensor models are the generalization of matrix models, and are studied as models of quantum gravity in general dimensions. In this paper, I discuss the algebraic structure in the fuzzy space interpretation of the tensor models which have a tensor with three indices as its only dynamical variable. The algebraic structure is studied mainly from the perspective of 3-ary algebras. It is shown that the tensor models have algebraic expressions, and that their symmetries are represented by 3-ary algebras. It is also shown that the 3-ary algebras of coordinates, which appear in the nonassociative fuzzy flat spacetimes corresponding to a certain class of configurations with Gaussian functions in the tensor models, form Lie triple systems, and the associated Lie algebras are shown to agree with those of the Snyder's noncommutative spacetimes. The Poincare transformations on the fuzzy flat spacetimes are shown to be generated by 3-ary algebras.
