The Dirac-like equation governing dynamics of free anomalous fermions is derived. The basis bispinors controlling the obtained solutions of this equation turn out to be normalized by the area confining a region in the bispinor Clifford…

We show that Clifford algebras are closely related to the study of isoclinic subspaces of spinor spaces and, consequently, to the Hurwitz-Radon matrix problem. Isocliny angles are introduced to parametrize gamma matrices, i.e., matrix…

We further explore the idea that physics takes place in Clifford space which should be considered as a generalization of spacetime. Following the old observation that spinors can be represented as members of left ideals of Clifford algebra,…

The coupling of spin 0 and spin 1 external fields to Dirac fermions defines a theory which displays gauge chiral symmetry. Quantum mechanically, functional integration of the fermions yields the determinant of the Dirac operator, known as…

Dirac operators on curved space-times are introduced with the help of a new point-view that observers have to be included in the formulation of natural laws. The class of Dirac operators are Lorentz invariant in the sense that the…

We use 1+1 dimensional large N Gross-Neveu models as a laboratory to derive microscopically effective Lagrangians for positive energy fermions only. When applied to baryons, the Euler-Lagrange equation for these effective theories assumes…

We show how the matrix algebra notions of determinant, spectrum, and Hermitian conjugation transfer to the Clifford algebra and to differential forms on parallelisable manifolds.

We present in Part II the description of the internal degrees of freedom of fermions by the superposition of odd products of the Clifford algebra elements, either $\gamma^a$'s or $\tilde{\gamma}^a$'s, which determine with their oddness the…

The "square root" of the Dirac operator derived on the superspace is used to construct supersymmetric field equations. In addition to the recently found solution - a vector supermultiplet I demonstrate how a chiral supermultiplet follows as…

The Clifford group plays a central role in quantum information science. It is the building block for many error-correcting schemes and matches the first three moments of the Haar measure over the unitary group -a property that is essential…

In this work we explore the structure of Clifford algebras and the representations of the algebraic spinors in quantum information theory. Initially we present an general formulation through elements of left minimal ideals in tensor…

We investigate using Clifford algebra methods the theory of algebraic dotted and undotted spinor fields over a Lorentzian spacetime and their realizations as matrix spinor fields, which are the usual dotted and undotted two component spinor…

We propose a lattice formulation of the Arf-Brown-Kervaire (ABK) invariant which takes values in $\mathbb{Z}_8$. Compared to the standard $\mathbb{Z}$-valued index, the ABK invariant is more involved in that it arises in Majorana fermion…
