Open publisher page 41 citations

Abstract

It has been shown that any real irreducible representation of any C(p,q) can be, in principle, explicitly constructed inductively. The relation between the pseudo-octonion algebra and C(8,0) as well as C(0,8) has also been investigated in some detail. Finally, dimensions of the real spinor representations of SO(p,q) have been studied.
