Review text

This article considers some examples of representations of the group \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\), which is basic for quantum electrodynamics and traditionally represented by Pauli matrices via the construct based on the anticommuting Euclidean basis vectors, which form the geometric algebra. In addition, such constructions are considered in multidimensional spaces and illustrated as a form for representing some properties of the objects of electroweak theory.
