Review text

This paper is written for researchers in finite non-commutative algebra. Because the Clifford algebra \(\mathrm{Cl}(1,3) = \mathbb{R}_{1,3}\) is singled out, it may also be of special interest for physicists in the field of special relativity. In the introduction, the authors briefly explain the meaning of Pauli's theorem in a general Clifford algebra framework. Section 2 defines Clifford algebras over quadratic spaces, the involutions of reversion, grade involution and Clifford involution, and quotes the general Pauli theorem for Clifford algebras found in [\textit{D. S. Shirokov}, ``Method of generalized Reynolds operators and Pauli's theorem in Clifford algebras, Preprint, \url{arxiv:1409.8163}]. In Section 3, the authors study the similarity transformation between two generating vector (grade 1, rank 1)-bases of \(\mathrm{Cl}(1,3)\), with particular case distinctions for the occurrence of divisors of zero, avoiding the sorting of basis elements of the algebra. In Section 4, they extend this approach to similarity transformations between vector bases: pseudo vector bases (grade 3, rank 3), mixed grade (1 and 2) basis, mixed grade (1 and 4) basis, mixed grade (2 and 3) basis. Section 5 provides a summary of results, followed by references. Applications can be expected in the field of spin group, spinors and connections between spinor groups and orthogonal groups.
