Isomorphisms with the even subalgebra of a Clifford algebra

This file provides some notable isomorphisms regarding the even subalgebra, CliffordAlgebra.even.

Main definitions

• CliffordAlgebra.equivEven: Every Clifford algebra is isomorphic as an algebra to the even subalgebra of a Clifford algebra with one more dimension.

  • CliffordAlgebra.EquivEven.Q': The quadratic form used by this "one-up" algebra.

  • CliffordAlgebra.ofEven: The simp-normal form of the reverse direction of this isomorphism.

• CliffordAlgebra.evenEquivEvenNeg: Every even subalgebra is isomorphic to the even subalgebra of the Clifford algebra with negated quadratic form.

  • CliffordAlgebra.evenToNeg: The simp-normal form of each direction of this isomorphism.

Main results

• CliffordAlgebra.coe_toEven_reverse_involute: the behavior of CliffordAlgebra.toEven on the "Clifford conjugate", that is CliffordAlgebra.reverse composed with CliffordAlgebra.involute.
