EXPLICIT ISOMORPHISMS OF REAL CLIFFORD ALGEBRAS ˘ ˙ ˙ N. DEGIRMENCI AND S¸. KARAPAZAR Received 13 March 2005; Revised 6 January 2006; Accepted 27 February 2006 It is well known that the Clifford algebra Clp ,q associated to a nondegenerate quadratic form on Rn (n = p + q) is isomorphic to a matrix algebra K (m) or direct sum K (m) ⊕ K (m) of matrix algebras, where K = R, C, H. On the other hand, there are no explicit expressions for these isomorphisms in literature. In this work, we give a method for the explicit construction of these isomorphisms. Copyri
