AbstractEach vector space that is endowed with a quadratic form determines its Clifford algebra. This algebra, in turn, contains a distinguished group, known as the Lipschitz group. We show that only a quotient of this group remains meaningful in the context of projective metric geometry. This quotient of the Lipschitz group can be viewed as a point set in the projective space on the Clifford algebra and, under certain restrictions, leads to an algebraic description of so-called kinematic mappings.

This paper deals with studying some properties of a monogenic function defined on a vector space with values in the Clifford algebra generated by the space. We provide some expansions of a monogenic function and consider its application to study solutions of second-order partial differential equations.

AbstractThis work defines a new algebraic structure, to be called an alternative Clifford algebra associated to a given quadratic form. I explored its representations, particularly concentrating on connections to the well-understood octonion algebras. I finished by suggesting directions for future research.

AbstractA projective metric space is a pappian projective space together with a quadric and a certain equivalence relation on the pairs of those points which do not belong to the quadric. This equivalence relation is defined by means of the corresponding quadratic form and satisfies a condition which is a projective version of Miquel's theorem. We characterize the projective metric spaces of dimension at least two over fields of order at least 13.

It is well known that the Clifford algebraClp,qassociated to a nondegenerate quadratic form onℝn (n=p+q)is isomorphic to a matrix algebraK(m)or direct sumK(m)⊕K(m)of matrix algebras, whereK=ℝ,ℂ,ℍ. On the other hand, there are no explicit expressions for these isomorphisms in literature. In this work, we give a method for the explicit construction of these isomorphisms.

In this note we consider the question as to which central division algebras occur as the Clifford algebra of a quadratic form over a field. Non-commutative ones other than quaternion division algebras can occur and it is also the case that there are certain central division algebras D which, while not themselves occurring as a Clifford algebra, are such that some matrix ring over D does occur as a Clifford algebra. We also consider the further question as to which involutions on the division algebra can occur as one of two natural involutions on the Clifford algebra.

Isotropes play a distinguished rôle in the algebra of spinors. LetVbe an even-dimensional real vector space equipped with an inner productBof arbitrary signature. An isotrope of(V, B)is a subspace of the complexificationVcon whichBcis identically zero. Denote by ρ the spin representation of the complex Clifford algebraC(Vc, Bc) on a spaceSof spinors.

AbstractLet Fq be a finite field with q elements, V an n-dimensional vector space over Fq and 𝒱 the projective space associated to V. Let G≤GLn(Fq) be a classical group and PG be the corresponding projective group. In this note we prove that if Fq (V )G is purely transcendental over Fq with homogeneous polynomial generators, then Fq (𝒱)PG is also purely transcendental over Fq. We compute explicitly the generators of Fq (𝒱)PG when G is the symplectic, unitary or orthogonal group.

AbstractIn this paper we consider the probabilistic theory of Diophantine approximation in projective space over a completion of ℚ. Using the projective metric studied in [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 23 (1996), no. 2, 211–248] we prove the analogue of Khintchine's theorem in projective space. For finite places and in higher dimension, we are able to completely remove the condition of monotonicity and establish the analogue of the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture.

The computation procedure of the slip model of polycrystalline plasticity was extended for the most general cases, when the stress and strain state are expressed in the five-dimension vector space this extent ion is based on the know ledges of Clifford algebra in the many-dimension (more than 3) vector space. The results would be reduced into the old results given in the more simple cases.
