On some Grassmannians carrying an even Clifford structure

Differential Geometry 2019-07-25 v1

Abstract

We give an explicit description of the non-flat parallel even Clifford structures of rank 8, 6, 5 on some real, complex and quaternionic Grassmannians, and discuss the r\^ole of the octonions in them, in particular for some low dimensional examples.
