DefinitionThe even structure theorem#

for an even-dimensional polarized quadratic space the even Clifford subalgebra is the product of the endomorphism algebras of the two half-spin summands.

This is the even-subalgebra companion of TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.cliffordEquivEnd. It gives the invariant-subspace dichotomy for both summands, which is simplicity for S⁺ and, when P.W ≠ ⊥, for S⁻; it also distinguishes their two even-Clifford actions.

DefinitionThe odd structure theorem in operator form#

for a polarized quadratic space of odd dimension over a field of characteristic not two, the Fock action is an isomorphism of F-algebras from the even Clifford subalgebra onto the endomorphism algebra of the spinor module S = ⋀·W.

This is the odd-dimensional companion of TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.cliffordEquivEnd, one grade down: there the whole algebra is Module.End F S, here only its even half is, the whole algebra being two copies of it.

DefinitionThe structure theorem#

the Clifford algebra of a polarized quadratic space of dimension 2 * l is the matrix algebra M_{2^l}(K), read in a basis of the spinor module ⋀·W, which has dimension 2 ^ l.

TheoremThe structure theorem in odd dimension#

over a separably closed field of characteristic not two, the Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate quadratic form on a space of dimension 2 * l + 1 is the product of two copies of the matrix algebra M_{2^l}(F).

This is the odd-dimensional companion of CliffordAlgebra.nonempty_algEquiv_matrix_of_finrank_eq_two_mul, and the two blocks are not an artefact of the proof: the product displayed here has (1, 0) as a central idempotent other than 0 and 1, so the algebra is not simple, whereas in even dimension it is (TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.isSimpleRing_cliffordAlgebra).

TheoremThe structure theorem over a separably closed field#

the Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate quadratic form on a 2l-dimensional space is the matrix algebra M_{2^l}(F).

The isomorphism is not canonical — it is read in a basis of the spinor module of a polarization, and neither the polarization nor the basis is unique — so the statement is Nonempty. The polarization-dependent isomorphism itself is TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.cliffordEquivMatrix.
