Can matrix representations of clifford algebras of type Cl(0,n) be found? Specifically for even orders
Simon_Tyler Messages 312 Reaction score 1 Apr 26, 2011 #2 Yes. Unique (up to change of basis) matrix representation exist for all Clifford algebras Cl(m,n). There's a few reduction identities that can be recursively applied to get any Clifford algebra down to a direct product of simple matrix algebras. See e.g. http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/TrigramsAndRealCliffordAlgebras/ and the reference http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0506011. Last edited by a moderator: Apr 25, 2017
