We define and study the ternary analogues of Clifford algebras. It is proved that the ternary Clifford algebra with $N$ generators is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the elements of grade zero of the ternary Clifford algebra with $N+1$…

In this paper, we make the case that Clifford algebra is the natural framework for root systems and reflection groups, as well as related groups such as the conformal and modular groups: The metric that exists on these spaces can always be…

Real physical systems with reflective and rotational symmetries such as viruses, fullerenes and quasicrystals have recently been modeled successfully in terms of three-dimensional (affine) Coxeter groups. Motivated by this progress, we…

Let Cl(V,g) be the real Clifford algebra associated to the real vector space V, endowed with a nondegenerate metric g. In this paper, we study the class of Z_2-gradings of Cl(V,g) which are somehow compatible with the multivector structure…

We formalize in Lean the following foundational result in commutative algebra: Let $R \to S$ be a faithfully flat map of (not necessarily noetherian) commutative rings, and let $P$ be an arbitrary $R$-module. Then $P$ is projective over $R$…

To formalize calculations in linear algebra for the development of efficient algorithms and a framework suitable for functional programming languages and faster parallelized computations, we adopt an approach that treats elements of linear…

The most familiar formalism for the description of geometry applicable to physics comprises operations among 4-component vectors and complex real numbers; few people realize that this formalism has indeed 32 degrees of freedom and can thus…

Dimensional analysis is fundamental to the formulation and validation of physical laws, ensuring that equations are dimensionally homogeneous and scientifically meaningful. In this work, we use Lean 4 to formalize the mathematics of…

A generalization of the term "generalized Clifford algebras" (as appears in papers on advances in applied Clifford algebras) is introduced. This algebra is studied by means of structure theory of central simple algebras. A graph theoretical…

By using the Ringel-Hall algebra approach, we investigate the structure of the Lie algebra $L(\Lambda)$ generated by indecomposable constructible sets in the varieties of modules for any finite dimensional $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $\Lambda.$ We…

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…

We extend the construction of [19] by introducing spaces of generalized tensor fields on smooth manifolds that possess optimal embedding and consistency properties with spaces of tensor distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. We thereby…

In this paper, first we introduce the notion of an embedding tensor on a 3-Lie algebra, which naturally induces a 3-Leibniz algebra. Using the derived bracket, we construct a Lie 3-algebra, whose Maurer-Cartan elements are embedding…

Clifford algebras are used for definition of spinors. Because of using spin-1/2 systems as an adequate model of quantum bit, a relation of the algebras with quantum information science has physical reasons. But there are simple mathematical…

Essentially generalizing Lie's results, we prove that the contact equivalence groupoid of a class of (1+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations is the first-order prolongation of its point equivalence groupoid, and then…

While the Clifford (geometric) algebra Fourier Transform (CFT) is global, we introduce here the local Clifford (geometric) algebra (GA) wavelet concept. We show how for $n=2,3 (\mod 4)$ continuous $Cl_n$-valued admissible wavelets can be…
