The theory of representations of Clifford algebras is extended to employ the division algebra of the octonions or Cayley numbers. In particular, questions that arise from the non-associativity and non-commutativity of this division algebra…

In this review we show that a Clifford algebra possesses a unique irreducible representation; the spinor representation. We discuss what types of spinors can exist in Minkowski space-times and we explain how to construct all the…

Many models of beyond Standard Model physics connect flavor symmetry with a discrete group. Having this symmetry arise spontaneously from a gauge theory maintains compatibility with quantum gravity and can be used to systematically prevent…

We find relations between real root decompositions of triples of Lie algebras corresponding to standard compact Clifford-Klein forms, under the assumption that these triples are not Lie algebra decompositions in the sense of Onishchik. This…

We propose models of quantum neural networks through Clifford algebras, which are capable of capturing geometric features of systems and to produce entanglement. Due to their representations in terms of Pauli matrices, the Clifford algebras…

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…
