The second-order differential equation for a damped harmonic oscillator can be converted to two coupled first-order equations, with two two-by-two matrices leading to the group $Sp(2)$. It is shown that this oscillator system contains the…

It is shown how the vector space $V_{8,8}$ arises from the Clifford algebra $Cl(1,3)$ of spacetime. The latter algebra describes fundamental objects such as strings and branes in terms of their $r$-volume degrees of freedom, $x^{\mu_1 \mu_2…

Quaternion (Q-) mathematics formally contains many fragments of physical laws; in particular, the Hamiltonian for the Pauli equation automatically emerges in a space with Q-metric. The eigenfunction method shows that any Q-unit has an…
The basic mathematical framework for super Hilbert spaces over a Grassmann algebra with a Grassmann number-valued inner product is formulated. Super Hilbert spaces over infinitely generated Grassmann algebras arise in the functional…

A concrete representation of the Clifford algebra (for any hyperbolic quadratic space) is given using what are called Suslin matrices. This explicit construction is used to analyze the corresponding Spin groups and the involution and might…
We propose and develop a new method to classify orbits of the spin group ${\rm Spin}(2d)$ in the space of its semi-spinors. The idea is to consider spinors as being built as a linear combination of their pure constituents, imposing the…
We propose a new method to generate the internal isospin degree of freedom by non-local bound states. This can be seen as motivated by Bargmann-Wigner like considerations, which originated from local spin coupling. However, our approach is…
Causal fermion systems and Riemannian fermion systems are proposed as a framework for describing non-smooth geometries. In particular, this framework provides a setting for spinors on singular spaces. The underlying topological structures…
