摘要

In this paper, we use Clifford algebra and the spinor calculus to study the complex structures on Euclidean space R8R^8 and the spheres S4,S6S^4,S^6. By the spin representation of G(2,8)Spin(8)G(2,8)\subset Spin(8) we show that the Grassmann manifold G(2,8) can be looked as the set of orthogonal complex structures on R8R^8. In this way, we show that G(2,8) and CP3CP^{3} can be looked as twistor spaces of S6S^6 and S4S^4 respectively. Then we show that there is no almost complex structure on sphere S4S^4 and there is no orthogonal complex structure on the sphere S6S^6.
