    Let \(\mathbb{R}_{0,m}\) be the real Clifford algebra generated by the standard basis \(\{ e_1,\dots,e_m\}\) of the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^m\) with the multiplication defined by the relation \(e_je_k+e_ke_j=-2\delta _{jk}\), let \(P_k(\underline{x})\) denote an arbitrary homogeneous monogenic polynomial of degree \(k\) in \(\mathbb{R}^m\), and let \(D_+=2 \underline{x}-\partial_{\underline{x}}\), \(D_\alpha =2(\alpha +1)\underline{x}-(1-|\underline{x}|^2)\partial_{\underline{x}}\), where \(\partial_{\underline{x}}=\sum_{j=1}^me_j\partial_{x_j}\) is the Dirac operator in \(\mathbb{R}^m\). The Clifford-Hermite polynomials are defined as \(H_{n,m}(P_k)(\underline{x})=D_+^nP_k(\underline{x})\) and the Clifford-Gegenbauer polynomials are defined as \(C_{n,m}^{(\alpha )} (P_k)(\underline{x})=D_\alpha D_{\alpha +1}\cdots D_{\alpha +n-1}P_k(\underline{x})\). The authors obtain explicit generating functions for these important classes of orthogonal polynomials in higher dimensions.
