Review text

Three-index operators are constructed as a basis of the 8-dimensional spinor formalism. The solution of the Clifford equation of the form \[ \gamma_\Lambda \gamma_\Psi+ \gamma_\Psi \gamma_\Lambda=-2g_{\Lambda \Psi}I, \quad \Lambda,\Psi= 1, \dots,8, \] \((I\) is a unitary matrix) is involved. By the action of the metric tensor \(g_{\Lambda\Psi}\) the complex Euclidean space \(CR_8\) is formed. Structure constants of the octave algebra are constructed. Relations of the Spin 8, \(SO(8,C)\) groups, octave algebra, and involution in the 8-dimensional space are discussed.
