In this article, the structure of the Clifford-Weyl superalgebras and their associated Lie superalgebras will be investigated. These superalgebras have a natural supersymmetric inner product which is invariant under their Lie superalgebra…
Recently the so-called Atiyah conjecture about l^2-Betti numbers has been disproved. The counterexamples were found using a specific method of computing the spectral measure of a matrix over a complex group ring. We show that in many…
A new framework for studying superspace is given, based on methods from Clifford analysis. This leads to the introduction of both orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebra generators, allowing for an easy and canonical introduction of a…
Starting from a general analysis of obstruction classes, we develop the investigation of obstructions associated with the bundle structure of the hyperbolic Clifford algebra. By taking into account particularities arising from the Whitney…
We study the representation theoretic results of the binary cubic generic Clifford algebra $\mathcal C$, which is an Artin-Schelter regular algebra of global dimension five. In particular, we show that $\mathcal C$ is a PI algebra of PI…
Pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras are a special class of 2-step nilpotent metric Lie algebras, intimately related to Clifford algebras $\Cl_{r,s}$. In this work we propose the classification method for integral orthonormal structures of pseudo…
We show that the binary representation of the integers has a role to play in many aspects of Clifford algebras.
Universal coverings of the orthogonal groups and their extensions are studied in terms of Clifford-Lipschitz groups. An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space inversion $P$, time reversal $T$, charge conjugation $C$ and…
We present a discussion of the generalized Clifford group over non-cyclic finite abelian groups. These Clifford groups appear naturally in the theory of topological error correction and abelian anyon models. We demonstrate a generalized…
This is an extension of quantum spinor construction of $U_q(\hat {\frak gl}(n))$. We define quantum affine Clifford algebras based on the tensor category and the solutions of q-KZ equations, and construct quantum spinor representations of…
In this paper we generalize to the non-abelian context a classical theorem of Griffiths which studies the behavior of the $(p,q)$-components of a horizontal section in a variation of Hodge structures over a smooth projective variety.
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 purpose of this shord paper is to make the link between the fundamental work of Atiyah, Bott and Shapiro (MR0167985/29/5250) and twisted K-theory (MR0282363/43/8075). This link was implicit for a long time in the literature (for the…
Clifford algebras are used for constructing spin groups, and are therefore of particular importance in the theory of quantum mechanics. But the spin group is not the only subgroup of the Clifford algebra. An algebraist's perspective on…
I apply the algebraic framework introduced in arXiv:1101.4542v3[math.MG] to Minkowski (pseudo-Euclidean) spaces in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions. The exposition follows the template established in arXiv:1307.2917[math.MG] for Euclidean spaces. The…
In this paper we present an approach to quadratic structures in derived algebraic geometry. We define derived n-shifted quadratic complexes, over derived affine stacks and over general derived stacks, and give several examples of those. We…
We give details of a formerly known relation between ternary quadratic forms and quaternion orders through the even Clifford algebra. Based on this and classifications of ternary quadratic forms we give a completely explicit classification…
We give the first examples of smooth projective varieties $X$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ admitting a non-algebraic torsion $\ell$-adic cohomology class of degree $4$ which vanishes over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}$. We use them to show…
Classical Clifford theory studies the decomposition of simple $G$-modules into simple $H$-modules for some normal subgroup $H \triangleleft G$. In this paper we deal with chains of normal subgroups $1 \triangleleft G_1 \triangleleft \cdots…
In this short pedagogical presentation, we introduce the spin groups and the spinors from the point of view of group theory. We also present, independently, the construction of the low dimensional Clifford algebras. And we establish the…
