It is shown that since the geometric spinors are elements of Clifford algebras, they must have the same transformation properties as any other Clifford number. In general, a Clifford number $\Phi$ transforms into a new Clifford number…
A set of two-parameter bi-orthogonal eigen-spinors has been constructed from a deformed pseudo- Hermitian extension of Pauli Hamiltonian and its Hermitian conjugate. The Hamiltonians thus obtained are iso-spectral to the original Pauli…
We investigate a model in which spinors are considered as being embedded within the Clifford algebra that operates on them. In Minkowski space $M_{1,3}$, we have four independent 4-component spinors, each living in a different minimal left…
A particular orthogonal map on a finite dimensional real quadratic vector space (V,Q) with a non-degenerate quadratic form Q of any signature (p,q) is considered. It can be viewed as a correlation of the vector space that leads to a dual…
Let $V$ be an infinite-dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic not equal to $2$. Given a nondegenerate quadratic form $f$ on $V$, we consider the Clifford algebra $\mathrm{Cl}(V,f)$. Any orthogonal linear transformation of…
A non-Hermitian version of Rashba Hamiltonian has been introduced motivated from the Levy-leblond type linearisation of Schrodinger equation in a Galilean invariant frame-work. The said Hamiltonian is found to be pseudo-Hermitian under…
In this paper, we consider inner automorphisms that leave invariant fixed subspaces of real and complex Clifford algebras -- subspaces of fixed grades and subspaces determined by the reversion and the grade involution. We present groups of…
We describe spinors in Minkowskian spaces with arbitrary signature and their role in the classification of space-time superalgebras and their R-symmetries in any dimension.
A group structure of the discrete transformations (parity, time reversal and charge conjugation) for spinor field in de Sitter space are studied in terms of extraspecial finite groups. Two $CPT$ groups are introduced, the first group from…
The three-dimensional universal complex Clifford algebra is used to represent relativistic vectors in terms of paravectors. In analogy to the Hestenes spacetime approach spinors are introduced in an algebraic form. This removes the…
The relationship between spinors and Clifford (or geometric) algebra has long been studied, but little consistency may be found between the various approaches. However, when spinors are defined to be elements of the even subalgebra of some…
In previous work by two of the present authors, twistors were re-interpreted as 4-d spinors with a position dependence within the formalism of geometric (Clifford) algebra. Here we extend that approach and justify the nature of the position…
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 automorphism invariant theory of Crawford[J. Math. Phys. 35, 2701 (1994)] has show great promise, however its application is limited by the paradigm to the domain of spin space. Our conjecture is that there is a broader principle at…
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,…
Let $(\tau,V_\tau)$ be a spinor representation of $\mathrm{Spin}(n)$ and let $(\sigma,V_\sigma)$ be a spinor representation of $\mathrm{Spin}(n-1)$ that occurs in the restriction $\tau_{\mid \mathrm{Spin}(n-1)}$. We consider the real…
A geometric approach to the standard model in terms of the Clifford algebra Cl_7 is advanced. A key feature of the model is its use of an algebraic spinor for one generation of leptons and quarks. Spinor transformations separate into…
Quaternionic and octonionic realizations of Clifford algebras and spinors are classified and explicitly constructed in terms of recursive formulas. The most general free dynamics in arbitrary signature space-times for both quaternionic and…
Z2-gradings of Clifford algebras are reviewed and we shall be concerned with an alpha-grading based on the structure of inner automorphisms, which is closely related to the spacetime splitting, if we consider the standard conjugation map…
