    The consideration of Dirac operators over general manifolds is of great importance in different fields of applications, especially in geometry. Using Vahlen matrices the author succeeds to carry over a lot of results developed in real Clifford analysis in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) to the sphere and the hyperbola. It seems to be one of the first papers which use Clifford analysis in Krein spaces. I believe that it is a decisive step towards a general Clifford analysis in Krein spaces. Among other results the author proves the conformal covariance of the Dirac operator using the spin group associated to \(\mathbb{R}^{n,1}\).
