In this paper, theory and construction of spinor representations of real Clifford algebras $\cl_{p,q}$ in minimal left ideals are reviewed. Connection with a general theory of semisimple rings is shown. The actual computations can be found…

We introduce a generalization of the Euclidean algorithm for rings equipped with an involution, and completely enumerate all isomorphism classes of orders over definite, rational quaternion algebras equipped with an orthogonal involution…

Let $p$ and $q$ be two positive primes. Let $\ell$ be an odd positive prime integer and $F$ a quadratic number field. Let $K$ be an extension of $F$ such that $K$ is a dihedral extension of $\Q$ of degree $\ell$ over $F$ or $K$ is an…

We give an explicit description of the non-flat parallel even Clifford structures of rank 8, 6, 5 on some real, complex and quaternionic Grassmannians, and discuss the r\^ole of the octonions in them, in particular for some low dimensional…

A comparison among different constructions of the quaternionic $4$-form $\Phi_{Sp(2)Sp(1)}$ and of the Cayley calibration $\Phi_{Spin(7)}$ shows that one can start for them from the same collections of "K\"ahler 2-forms", entering in…

Clifford algebras are naturally associated with quadratic forms. These algebras are Z_2-graded by construction. However, only a Z_n-gradation induced by a choice of a basis, or even better, by a Chevalley vector space isomorphism Cl(V) <->…

Real Clifford algebras for arbitrary number of space and time dimensions as well as their representations in terms of spinors are reviewed and discussed. The Clifford algebras are classified in terms of isomorphic matrix algebras of real,…

Based on a fact that complex Clifford algebras of even dimension are isomorphic to the matrix ones, we consider bundles in Clifford algebras whose structure group is a general linear group acting on a Clifford algebra by left…

We study systems of quadratic forms over fields and their isotropy over 2-extensions. We apply this to obtain particular splitting fields for quaternion algebras defined over a finite field extension. As a consequence, we obtain that every…

Let B be an undefined quaternion algebra over Q. Following the explicit chacterization of some Eichler orders in B given by Hashimoto, we define explicit embeddings of these orders in some local rings of matrices; we describe the two…

We characterize completey (give a necessary and suffcient condition using special neat embeddings)for a relation algebra to belong to the amalgamation, strong amalgamation, and superamalgamation base of the class of representable algebras.…

A conjecture of Coleman implies that only finitely many quaternion algebras over the rational numbers can be the endomorphism $\mathbf{Q}$-algebras of abelian surfaces over the complex numbers which can be defined over $\mathbf{Q}$. One may…

We propose models of quantum neural networks through Clifford algebras, which are capable of capturing geometric features of systems and to produce entanglement. Due to their representations in terms of Pauli matrices, the Clifford algebras…

Albert algebras, a specific kind of Jordan algebra, are naturally distinguished objects among commutative non-associative algebras and also arise naturally in the context of simple affine group schemes of type $F_4$, $E_6$, or $E_7$. We…

Scheme-theoretic methods are used to classify ternary quadratic forms with values in line bundles over arbitrary schemes and to canonically determine the isomorphisms between them. The association of a quadratic bundle to its even Clifford…

We give natural descriptions of the homology and cohomology algebras of regular quotient ring spectra of even E-infinity ring spectra. We show that the homology is a Clifford algebra with respect to a certain bilinear form naturally…

We discuss a generalization of Clifford algebras known as generalized Clifford algebras (in particular, ternary Clifford algebras). In these objects, we have a fixed higher-degree form (in particular, a ternary form) instead of a quadratic…

The u-invariant of a field is the supremum of the dimensions of anisotropic quadratic forms over the field. We define corresponding u-invariants for hermitian and generalised quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution in…

Given two parallelisms of a projective space we describe a construction, called blending, that yields a (possibly new) parallelism of this space. For a projective double space $(\mathbb{P},\parallel_\ell,\parallel_r)$ over a quaternion skew…

A commutative order in a quaternion algebra is called selective if it is embeds into some, but not all, the maximal orders in the algebra. It is known that a given quadratic order over a number field can be selective in at most one…
