On the structure of complex Clifford algebra (Q640374)

Introducing on \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) a complex structure, the framework Clifford analysis can be made more near to the complex analysis. In this case, the symmetry group is reducing to \(U(n)\) which preserves the complex structure. This considerations form the basis of Hermitian-Clifford analysis essentially developed by these authors (including also the work of F. Sommen). The authors study such Clifford algebras in which the monogenic functions take their values. First of all a complex Clifford algebra is detailed introduced and furnished with an Hermitian setting. A Witt basis structure leads to the Grassmann structure of the complex Clifford algebra. Then corresponding spinor spaces are investigated again using the Witt basis vectors. With the introduction of suitable linear operators (introduced by Michelsohn) the Clifford algebra appears as a direct sum decomposition of eigenspaces.
