This paper presents a thoughful review of: (a) the Clifford algebra Cl(H_{V}) of multivecfors which is naturally associated with a hyperbolic space H_{V}; (b) the study of the properties of the duality product of multivectors and…

The associative Cayley-Dickson algebras over the field of real numbers are also Clifford algebras. The alternative but nonassociative real Cayley-Dickson algebras, notably the octonions and split octonions, share with Clifford algebras an…

We consider Clifford algebras with nonsymmetric bilinear forms, which are isomorphic to the standard symmetric ones, but not equal. Observing, that the content of physical theories is dependent on the injection $\oplus^n\bigwedge…

This article uses Clifford algebra of definite signature to derive octonions and the Lie exceptional algebra G2 from calibrations using Pin(7). This is simpler than the usual exterior algebra derivation and uncovers a subalgebra of Spin(7)…

We develop an approach to noncommutative algebraic geometry ``in the perturbative regime" around ordinary commutative geometry. Let R be a noncommutative algebra and A=R/[R,R] its commutativization. We describe what should be the formal…

The geometry of nonholonomic bundle gerbes, provided with nonlinear connection structure, and nonholonomic gerbe modules is elaborated as the theory of Clifford modules on nonholonomic manifolds which positively fail to be spin. We explore…

We investigate the construction and properties of Clifford algebras by a similar manner as our previous construction of the octonions, namely as a twisting of group algebras of Z_2^n by a cocycle. Our approach is more general than the usual…

Some physical systems like the quantum mechanics with magnetic charges or field theoretical models appearing in the context of string theory are formulated in terms of non-associative algebras. Hence, demand non-associative star products…

Using representations of Clifford algebras we construct indecomposable singular Riemannian foliations on round spheres, most of which are non-homogeneous. This generalizes the construction of non-homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces due…

For each quadratic form Q in Quad(V) over a given vector space over a field R we have the Clifford algebra Cl(V,Q) defined as the quotient T(V)/I(Q) of the tensor algebra T(V) over the two-sided ideal generated by expressions of the form $x…

We take advantage of the principal bundle geometry of the space of connections to obtain general results on the presymplectic structure of two classes of (pure) gauge theories: invariant theories, and non-invariant theories satisfying two…

The geometric calculus based on Clifford algebra is a very useful tool for geometry and physics. It describes a geometric structure which is much richer than the ordinary geometry of spacetime. A Clifford manifold (C-space) consists not…

One particular approach to quantum groups (matrix pseudo groups) provides the Manin quantum plane. Assuming an appropriate set of non-commuting variables spanning linearly a representation space one is able to show that the endomorphisms on…

Let S be a K3 surface and assume for simplicity that it does not contain any (-2)-curve. Using coherent systems, we express every non-simple Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle on S as an extension of two sheaves of some special type, that we refer to…

We show that several standard associative quantizations in mathematical physics can be expressed as cochain module-algebra twists in the spirit of Moyal products at least to $O(\hbar^3)$, but to achieve this we twist not by a 2-cocycle but…

We consider a pair of independent scalar products, one scalar product on vectors, and another independent scalar product on dual space of co-vectors. The Clifford co-product of multivectors is calculated from the dual Clifford algebra. With…

In the traditional approaches to Clifford algebras, the Clifford product is evaluated by recursive application of the product of a one-vector (span of the generators) on homogeneous i.e. sums of decomposable (Grassmann), multivectors and…

We functorially identify similarity classes of line-bundle-valued quadratic forms on rank two vector bundles with isomorphism classes of pairs consisting of the degree zero and the degree one parts of the associated generalized Clifford…

In "A note on generalized Clifford algebras and representations" (Caenepeel, S.; Van Oystaeyen, F., Comm. Algebra 17 (1989) no. 1, 93--102.) generalized Clifford algebras were introduced via Clifford representations; these correspond to…

The aim of this paper is to extend existence results for the Coulomb gauge from standard gauge theory to a non-associative setting. Non-associative gauge theory is based on smooth loops, which are the non-associative analogs of Lie groups.…
