Abstract
Through the triality of ${\rm SO}(8,\mathbb{C})$, we study three interrelated homogeneous basis of the ring of invariant polynomials of Lie algebras, which give the basis of three Hitchin fibrations, and identify the explicit automorphisms that relate them.

Key words: triality; Higgs bundles; invariant polynomials.
