We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…

This paper is intended to describe twistors via the paravector model of Clifford algebras and to relate such description to conformal maps in the Clifford algebra over R(4,1), besides pointing out some applications of the pure spinor…

The Clifford algebra of a n-dimensional Euclidean vector space provides a general language comprising vectors, complex numbers, quaternions, Grassman algebra, Pauli and Dirac matrices. In this work, we present an introduction to the main…

For certain problems involving vector fields, it is possible to find an associated imaginary field that, in conjunction with the first, forms a complex field for which the equation can be solved. This result is generalized to arbitrary…

In this paper we prove isomorphisms between 5 Lie groups (of arbitrary dimension and fixed signatures) in Clifford algebra and classical matrix Lie groups - symplectic, orthogonal and linear groups. Also we obtain isomorphisms of…

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…

We give a Clifford correspondence for an algebra A over an algebraically closed field, that is an algorithm for constructing some finite-dimensional simple A-modules from simple modules for a subalgebra and endomorphism algebras. This…

The classification of emergent spinor fields according to modified bilinear covariants is scrutinized, in spacetimes with nontrivial topology, which induce inequivalent spin structures. Extended Clifford algebras, constructed by equipping…

Pinor and spinor fields are sections of the subbundles whose fibers are the representation spaces of the Clifford algebra of the forms, equipped with the Graf product. In this context, pinors and spinors are here considered and the…

CLIFFORD performs various computations in Grassmann and Clifford algebras. It can compute with quaternions, octonions, and matrices with entries in Cl(B) - the Clifford algebra of a vector space V endowed with an arbitrary bilinear form B.…

In this paper, we introduce and study five families of Lie groups in degenerate Clifford geometric algebras. These Lie groups preserve the even and odd subspaces and some other subspaces under the adjoint representation and the twisted…

This paper contains a review of the theoretical foundations of Clifford algebras, spinors and spinor bundles in the so-called co-frame formalism. A compact index-free notation is introduced, along with a series of identities useful for…

We investigate the properties of the Extended Fock Basis (EFB) of Clifford algebras introduced in [1]. We show that a Clifford algebra can be seen as a direct sum of multiple spinor subspaces that are characterized as being left…

Part I: The geometric algebra of space is derived by extending the real number system to include three mutually anticommuting square roots of plus one. The resulting geometric algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices,…

The author's idea of {\it algebraic compositeness} of fundamental particles, allowing to understand the existence in Nature of three fermion generations, is revisited. It is based on two postulates. i) For all fundamental particles of…

We review Bacry and Levy-Leblond's work on possible kinematics as applied to 2-dimensional spacetimes, as well as the nine types of 2-dimensional Cayley-Klein geometries, illustrating how the Cayley-Klein geometries give homogeneous…

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…

Spinors are central to physics: all matter (fermions) is made of spinors, and all forces arise from symmetries of spinors. It is common to consider the geometric (Clifford) algebra as the fundamental edifice from which spinors emerge. This…

The exterior algebra of Minkowski space naturally has the structure of a sixteen-dimensional Clifford algebra representation, and so can be used as the space of spinors. We examine plane, circular, and spherical solutions to the free Dirac…
