Pseudoscalar

In linear algebra, a pseudoscalar is a quantity that behaves like a scalar, except that it changes sign under a parity inversion while a true scalar does not. Any scalar product between a pseudovector and an ordinary vector is a pseudoscalar. The prototypical example of a pseudoscalar is the scalar triple product, which can be written as the scalar product between one of the vectors in the triple product and the cross product between the two other vectors, where the latter is a pseudovector. A pseudoscalar, when multiplied by an ordinary vector, becomes a pseudovector (axial vector); a similar construction creates the pseudotensor. Mathematically, a pseudoscalar is an element of the top exterior power of a vector space, or the top power of a Clifford algebra; see pseudoscalar (Clifford algebra). More generally, it is an element of the canonical bundle of a differentiable manifold. (Wikipedia).

QED Prerequisites Geometric Algebra 14: The Pseudoscalar

In this lesson we introduce the basis element of the grade 4 part of the spacetime algebra: the pseudoscalar. ERRATA: At about 6:00 I do a demonstration and slipped into the (-1,1,1,1) metric convention for a moment when I said (gamma_0)^2 = -1 …. An easy mistake to make! The result is st

QED Prerequisites Geometric Algebra 15: Complex Structure

In this lesson we introduce the idea of "complex structure". Complex structure binds scalars with pseudoscalars, vectors with pseudovectors, and bivectors with other bivectors. Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/XYLYXYLYX The software I usually u

QED Prerequisites Geometric Algebra 17 - Bivector products

We examine Bivector-Bivector products using the canonical bivector form. Then we do a bit of bivector-bivector multiplication practice in the second half of the lesson, with a focus on the signature of the resulting product. Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www

QED Prerequisites Geometric Algebra 24 Paravectors

In this lesson we discover yet another way to partition the components of a general multivector. In this method, the partitioning is entirely dependent on a choice of reference frame. That is \gamma_0 must be chosen and it represents the 4-velocity of an observer who is stationary in that

QED Prerequisites Geometric Algebra 16: Canonical Bivectors

In this lesson we handle a few errata and then decompose a general bivector into a canonical form. Take note: we study this decomposition using a *different* paper, one written by Hestenes, but this is just a small diversion from our main paper. Please consider supporting this channel o

Geometric Algebra - Duality and the Cross Product

In this video, we will introduce the concept of duality, involving a multiplication by the pseudoscalar. We will observe the geometric meaning of duality and also see that the cross product and wedge product are dual to one another, which means that the cross product is already contained w
