Quadratic forms | Clifford algebras | Algebras | Ring theory
In mathematics, a Generalized Clifford algebra (GCA) is a unital associative algebra that generalizes the Clifford algebra, and goes back to the work of Hermann Weyl, who utilized and formalized these clock-and-shift operators introduced by J. J. Sylvester (1882), and organized by Cartan (1898) and Schwinger. Clock and shift matrices find routine applications in numerous areas of mathematical physics, providing the cornerstone of quantum mechanical dynamics in finite-dimensional vector spaces. The concept of a spinor can further be linked to these algebras. The term Generalized Clifford Algebras can also refer to associative algebras that are constructed using forms of higher degree instead of quadratic forms. (Wikipedia).

Geometric Algebra - The Matrix Representation of a Linear Transformation
In this video, we will show how matrices as computational tools may conveniently represent the action of a linear transformation upon a given basis. We will prove that conventional matrix operations, particularly matrix multiplication, conform to the composition of linear transformations.

Christian Voigt: Clifford algebras, Fermions and categorification
Given the fundamental role of Dirac operators in K-homology and K-theory, it can be argued that "categorified Dirac operators" should be crucial for the understanding of elliptic cohomology. However, the actual construction of such operators seems a challenging open problem. In this talk
