"Clifford algebra" meaning in All languages combined

See Clifford algebra on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: Clifford algebras [plural]
Etymology: Named after William Kingdon Clifford (1845–1879), an English mathematician and philosopher. Head templates: {{en-noun}} Clifford algebra (plural Clifford algebras)
  1. (algebra, mathematical physics) A unital associative algebra which generalizes the algebra of quaternions but which is not necessarily a division algebra; it is generated by a set of γᵢ (with i ranging from, say, 1 to n) such that the square of each γᵢ is fixed to be either +1 or −1, depending on each i, and such that any product γᵢγⱼ anticommutes when its factors are distinct (i.e., when i ne j).
