Classification of Clifford algebras

In abstract algebra, in particular in the theory of nondegenerate quadratic forms on vector spaces, the structures of finite-dimensional real and complex Clifford algebras for a nondegenerate quadratic form have been completely classified. In each case, the Clifford algebra is algebra isomorphic to a full matrix ring over R, C, or H (the quaternions), or to a direct sum of two copies of such an algebra, though not in a canonical way. Below it is shown that distinct Clifford algebras may be algebra-isomorphic, as is the case of Cl2,0(R) and Cl1,1(R), which are both isomorphic to the ring of two-by-two matrices over the real numbers.

Abstract:This is a joint work in progress with A. Auel. Let S be a geometrically rational del Pezzo surface over a field k. In this talk, I will show how the k-rationality of S is equivalent to the existence of some semiorthogonal decompositions of its derived category. In particular, the

Units in a Ring (Abstract Algebra)

The units in a ring are those elements which have an inverse under multiplication. They form a group, and this “group of units” is very important in algebraic number theory. Using units you can also define the idea of an “associate” which lets you generalize the fundamental theorem of ar
