In the complex Clifford algebra \(C_m\), which is obtained from an orthonormal basis \((e_1,\dots,e_m)\) of the euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^m\) by adopting the multiplication rules \(e_je_k+e_ke_j= -2\delta_{jk}\), \(j,k= 1,\dots,m\), and where an element \(a\in C_m\) can be written as \(a=\sum_{A\subseteq M}a_Ae_A\), \(a_A\in \mathbb{C}\), \(M=\{1, \dots,m\}\), where \(e_A=e_{\alpha_1} e_{\alpha_2} \cdots e_{\alpha_h}\), \(\alpha_1<\alpha_2 <\cdots <\alpha_h\), and \(e_\emptyset= e_0=1\) is the identity in \(C_m\), the Dirac operator is defined as \(D:=\sum^m_{j=1} e_j {\partial \over\partial x_j}\). There has already been constructed by F. Sommen and the author [see \textit{F. Sommen} and \textit{Z. Xu}, In: Clifford algebra and their applications in mathematical physics [Proc. 2nd Workshop, Montpellier/Fr. 1989, Fundam. Theor. Phys. 47, 313-326 (1992; Zbl 0769.35053)] a fundamental solution for the operator \(P(D):=\prod^N_{j=1}(D-\lambda_j)\), \(\lambda_j \in\mathbb{C}\). Using these fundamental solutions, it is the main aim of this article to obtain a generalized Borel-Pompeiu representation and from this a generalized Cauchy integral formula for functions in the kernel of the operator \(P(D)\). The tedious calculations in the proofs are just indicated and it is pointed out that by defining appropriate singular integral operators, which are continuous in specific Sobolev spaces, by a continuity argument the obtained Borel-Pompeiu identity also holds for functions in a Sobolev space. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0927.00027].
