Example of nice isomorphism between Cl$_{p,q}(\mathbb R)$ and matrix algebras over $\mathbb R,\mathbb C,\mathbb H,\mathbb R^2,\mathbb C^2,\mathbb H^2$

$\DeclareMathOperator\Cl{Cl}$It is known that every Clifford Algebra $\Cl(Q)$ over the real numbers where $Q: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ is a non-degenerate quadratic form is isomorphic to a matrix ...

What is the inverse in K-theory represented by Clifford module extensions?

I am working on a model for topological KO-theory which is represented by explicit spaces of orthogonal Clifford module extensions. That is, assuming $M$ compact, $KO^{-n+1}(M) := [M,X_n]$ where the ...

Explicit Isomorphism between $Cl(8)$ and $\mathbb{R}(16)$

I am looking for a explicit isomorphism between $Cl(8)$ (Clifford algebra over $\mathbb{R}^8$ with standard Euclidean metric) and $\mathbb{R}(16)$ (algebra of $16\times 16$ matrices over $\mathbb{R}$)....
