$\DeclareMathOperator\trace{trace}\DeclareMathOperator\End{End}\DeclareMathOperator\Trace{Trace}$This is to understand a very specific isomorphism in dimension $8$. In dimension $4$ for a spin$^c$ ...

I have a simple question: transitivity of $Spin(7)$ in triples of orthogonal vectors. Let $Spin(7)\subset SO(8)$ act on $\mathbb{R}^8$, and $e_1,e_2,e_3$, $v_1,v_2,v_3$ be two triples of mutually ...

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 $\mathbb{R}$)....
