The Iwasawa decomposition and the Bruhat decomposition of the automorphism group on certain exceptional Jordan algebra

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of a complex simple Jordan algebra such that the automorphism group is $\mathrm{F}_{4(-20)}$. By using some orbit types of $\mathrm{F}_{4(-20)}$ on $\mathcal{J}^1$, for $\mathrm{F}_{4(-20)}$, explicitly, we give the Iwasawa decomposition, the Oshima--Sekiguchi's $K_{\epsilon}-$Iwasawa decomposition, the Matsuki decomposition, and the Bruhat and Gauss decompositions.
