The problem of the classification of the indefinite binary quadratic forms with integer coefficients is solved introducing a special partition of the de Sitter world, where the coefficients of the forms lie, into separate domains. Every…
The Lounesto classification is a well-established scheme for categorizing spinors based on their physical content, which are determined by their associated bilinear forms. It consists of six disjoint classes encompassing the known spinors…
Using a technique \cite{holgernorma2002} to construct a basis for spinors and ``families'' of spinors in terms of Clifford algebra objects, we define other Clifford algebra objects, which transform the state of one ''family'' of spinors…
In the Lounesto classification, there are three types of regular spinors. They are classified by the condition that at least one of the scalar or pseudo scalar norms are non-vanishing. The Dirac spinors are regular spinors because their…
We prove an Eichler-type criterion for symplectic lattices which determines in a simple way when two primitive vectors are equivalent under a canonical congruence subgroup of the symplectic group. This is supplemented by another, related…
Spinors are used in physics quite extensively. The goal of this study is also the spinor structure lying in the basis of the quaternion algebra. In this paper, first, we have introduced spinors mathematically. Then, we have defined…
The goal of this note is to provide an analysis of the positive integers that are represented everywhere locally, but not globally, by each of the 29 spinor regular positive definite integral ternary quadratic forms that are not regular.
We complete all local spinor norm computations for quaternionic skew-hermitian forms over the field of rational numbers. Examples of class number computations are provided.
It follows from generalities of quadratic forms that the spinor class of the integral trace of a number field determines the signature and the discriminant of the field. In this paper we define a family of number fields, that contains among…
Let $X$ be a quadratic vector field with a center whose generic orbits are algebraic curves of genus one. To each $X$ we associate an elliptic surface (a smooth complex compact surface which is a genus one fibration). We give the list of…
Quaternionic and octonionic spinors are introduced and their fundamental properties (such as the space-times supporting them) are reviewed. The conditions for the existence of their associated Dirac equations are analyzed. Quaternionic and…
Recent papers by Markman and O'Grady give, besides their main results on the Hodge conjecture and on hyperkaehler varieties, surprising and explicit descriptions of families of abelian fourfolds of Weil type with trivial discriminant. They…
This paper aims to give a coordinate based introduction to the so-called Lounesto spinorial classification scheme. We introduce the main ideas and aspects of this spinorial categorization in an argumentative basis, after what we delve into…
We classify all one-class genera of admissible lattice chains of length at least 2 in hermitian spaces over number fields.
We describe several infinite families of braided finite tensor categories. A simplest example gives a non-degenerate braided tensor category which is not Witt equivalent to a semisimple category.
Using generating functions, we enumerate regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups. For the general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups this gives a different approach to known results; for the special…
We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor…
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…
A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It focuses on the kitelikeness and circularity of these…
The concordance genus of a knot K is the minimum Seifert genus of all knots smoothly concordant to K. Concordance genus is bounded below by the 4-ball genus and above by the Seifert genus. We give a lower bound for the concordance genus of…
