One of the main goals of these notes is to explain how rotations in reals^n are induced by the action of a certain group, Spin(n), on reals^n, in a way that generalizes the action of the unit complex numbers, U(1), on reals^2, and the action of the unit quaternions, SU(2), on reals^3 (i.e., the action is defined in terms of multiplication in a larger algebra containing both the group Spin(n) and reals^n). The group Spin(n), called a spinor group, is defined as a certain subgroup of units of an algebra, Cl_n, the Clifford algebra associated with reals^n. Since the spinor groups are certain well chosen subgroups of units of Clifford algebras, it is necessary to investigate Clifford algebras to get a firm understanding of spinor groups. These notes provide a tutorial on Clifford algebra and the groups Spin and Pin, including a study of the structure of the Clifford algebra Cl_{p, q} associated with a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form of signature (p, q) and culminating in the beautiful 8-periodicity theorem of Elie Cartan and Raoul Bott (with proofs).

We define a general notion of centrally $Gamma$-graded sets and groups and of their graded products, and prove some basic results about the corresponding categories: most importantly, they form braided monoidal categories. Here, $Gamma$ is an arbitra ry (generalized) ring. The case $Gamma$ = Z/2Z is studied in detail: it is related to Clifford algebras and their discrete Clifford groups (also called Salingaros Vee groups).

In this paper we present an approach to quadratic structures in derived algebraic geometry. We define derived n-shifted quadratic complexes, over derived affine stacks and over general derived stacks, and give several examples of those. We define the associated notion of derived Clifford algebra, in all these contexts, and compare it with its classical version, when they both apply. Finally, we prove three main existence results for derived shifted quadratic forms over derived stacks, define a derived version of the Grothendieck-Witt group of a derived stack, and compare it to the classical one.

Ram and Rammage have introduced an automorphism and Clifford theory on affine Hecke algebras. Here we will extend them to cyclotomic Hecke algebras and rational Cherednik algebras.
Nebe, Rains and Sloane studied the polynomial invariants for real and complex Clifford groups and they relate the invariants to the space of complete weight enumerators of certain self-dual codes. The purpose of this paper is to show that very simila r results can be obtained for the invariants of the complex Clifford group $mathcal{X}_m$ acting on the space of conjugate polynomials in $2^m$ variables of degree $N_1$ in $x_f$ and of degree $N_2$ in their complex conjugates $overline{x_f}$. In particular, we show that the dimension of this space is $2$, for $(N_1,N_2)=(5,5)$. This solves the Conjecture 2 given in Zhu, Kueng, Grassl and Gross affirmatively. In other words if an orbit of the complex Clifford group is a projective $4$-design, then it is automatically a projective $5$-design.
The Minkowski spacetime quantum Clifford algebra structure associated with the conformal group and the Clifford-Hopf alternative k-deformed quantum Poincare algebra is investigated in the Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro mod 8 theorem context. The resulting algeb ra is equivalent to the deformed anti-de Sitter algebra U_q(so(3,2)), when the associated Clifford-Hopf algebra is taken into account, together with the associated quantum Clifford algebra and a (not braided) deformation of the periodicity Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro theorem.
