feat(linear_algebra/clifford_algebra/spin_group) : Spin Group

Open Biiiilly opened this issue 3 years ago β€’ 2 comments

In this file we define lipschitz , pin_group and spin_group.

Here are some discussion about the latent ambiguity of definition : https://mathoverflow.net/q/427881/172242 and https://mathoverflow.net/q/251288/172242

The definition of the Lipschitz group {π‘₯ ∈ 𝐢𝑙(𝑉,π‘ž) β”‚ π‘₯ 𝑖𝑠 π‘–π‘›π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘‘π‘–π‘π‘™π‘’ π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘₯𝑣π‘₯⁻¹∈ 𝑉} is given by: β€’ Fulton, W. and Harris, J., 2004. Representation theory. New York: Springer, p.chapter 20. β€’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_algebra#Lipschitz_group But they presumably form a group only in finite dimensions. So we define lipschitz with closure of all the elements in the form of ΞΉ Q m. We show this definition is at least as large as the other definition (See mem_lipschitz_conj_act_le and mem_lipschitz_involute_le) and the reverse statement presumably being true only in finite dimensions.

Note that the proofs of mem_lipschitz_conj_act_le and mem_lipschitz_involute_le are blocked by some PRs shown below.


  • [x] depends on: #11468 [clifford algebra is isomorphic to exterior algebra if invertible 2]
  • [x] depends on: #16202 [f (β…Ÿr) = β…Ÿ(f r)]
  • [x] depends on: #16153 [triple products of repeated vectors]
