I have the following, probably very elementary question: Let $Cl^{p,q}$ be the Clifford algebra on generators $e_i$, $i=1, \ldots, p+q$ with $e_i e_j = -e_j e_i$ and $e_{i}^{2}=-1$ …

Hello, I need help determining whether the map I defined between two algebras is a well-defined homomorphism of $C^\ast$-algebras. I ran into this problem while trying to define a …

When physicists write expressions involving spinors $\psi \in S \otimes V$, where $S=S_+ \oplus S_-$ is a complex spinor representation of a spin group $Spin(2d)$ and $V$ is a comp …

I understand that there is a universal property which tells me that given a Clifford algebra $Cl(V, q)$, for a linear map $f: V \to A$ ($A$ any associative algebra) satisfying $f(v …

As it is know, the vector space $V\oplus V^\ast$ admits the natural symmetric and skew symmetric bilinear forms $$\langle X+\xi,Y+\eta\rangle|_\pm:=\frac 1 2 (\xi(Y) \pm \eta(X))$$ …

Is the statement below false? "The metaplectic group Mp2(R) is not a matrix group: it has no faithful finite-dimensional representations." Possible "counterexample": Sp(2n,R) i …

I'm studying the "Clifford Lie Algebra" (see http://arxiv.org/pdf/1007.2481.pdf page 30). It's basically a way to look at Clifford algebras and their properties in a Lie algebraic …

I am interested in the general question of When is a map between algebra of "Clifford-valued continuous functions" homomorphism? As a starter, I would like to first understa …

Hi everyone, I'm currently studying the construction of the $Pin(1,3)$ group and given the definition I'm using to find its elements I'm having some problems with the signs associ …

For a Riemannian manifold $M$, a Clifford module is a bundle over $M$ that is, fiberwise, a representation of the Clifford algebra bundle $Cl(TM)$ and has a connection compatible w …

Let $D$ be an algebra of odd differential operators on a free module $V$, this algebra is isomorphic to the Clifford algebra $Cl(V^* \oplus V)$. Let $m$ denote multiplication map $ …

It is a well known fact that Clifford algebras, $Cl(p,q)$, have similar properties depending on $(p-q)\mod 8$. In most of the places I have found a proof of the theorem, explicit …

I am looking for definitions of the chain and product rules for inhomogeneous multivector derivatives. Particularly, I am interested in the functional expansion of the quaternion …

Hello, I just learned about fast multipole method(FMM) from this article http://math.nyu.edu/faculty/greengar/shortcourse_fmm.pdf and I really liked the use of complex numbers in …

In "Spin geometry" by Lawson and Michelsohn it is defined the Clifford algebra $Cl(g)$ associated to a symmetric bilinear form $g$ in general, including the degenerate case. But th …
