Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and study five families of Lie groups in degenerate Clifford geometric algebras. These Lie groups preserve the even and odd subspaces and some other subspaces under the adjoint representation and the twisted adjoint representation. The considered Lie groups contain degenerate spin groups, Lipschitz groups, and Clifford groups as subgroups in the case of arbitrary dimension and signature. The considered Lie groups can be of interest for various applications in physics, engineering, and computer science.


The Clifford algebra \(\mathcal{G}_{p,q,r}\) (called ``geometric algebra in the paper) is the associative algebra generated over \(\mathbb{R}\) by \(p+q+r\) elements that anticommute in pairs, such that \(p\) generators have square equal to 1, \(q\) have square equal to \(-1\), and the rest to \(0\). These algebras are ``degenerate when \(r>0\), as the Clifford algebras of degenerate quadratic forms. The paper investigates several different Lie groups related to these algebras, that may be of use to other areas of mathematics and other sciences.
