When Is a Bogolyubov Automorphism Inner?

Rings and Algebras 2026-02-05 v1

Abstract

Let VV be an infinite-dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic not equal to 22. Given a nondegenerate quadratic form ff on VV, we consider the Clifford algebra Cl(V,f)\mathrm{Cl}(V,f). Any orthogonal linear transformation of VV extends to a Bogolyubov automorphism of Cl(V,f)\mathrm{Cl}(V,f). We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a Bogolyubov automorphism to be inner.
