Klein and Conformal Superspaces, Split Algebras and Spinor Orbits
Abstract
We discuss Klein and Klein-Conformal superspaces in space-time dimensions, realizing them in terms of their functor of points over the split composition algebra . We exploit the observation that certain split form of orthogonal groups can be realized in terms of matrix groups over split composition algebras; this leads to a natural interpretation of the the sections of the spinor bundle in the critical split dimensions , and as , and , respectively. Within this approach, we also analyze the non-trivial spinor orbit stratification that is relevant in our construction since it affects the Klein-Conformal superspace structure.
