Probing Clifford Algebras Through Spin Groups: A Standard Model Perspective

Division algebras have demonstrated their utility in studying non-associative algebras and their connection to the Standard Model through complex Clifford algebras. This article focuses on exploring the connection between complex Clifford algebras and their corresponding real Clifford algebra providing insight into geometric properties of bivector gauge symmetries. We first generate gauge symmetries in the complex Clifford algebra through a general Witt decomposition. Gauge symmetries act as a constraint on the underlying real Clifford algebra, where they're then translated from their complex form to their bivector counterpart. Spin group arguments allow the identification of bivector structures which preserve the gauge symmetry yielding the corresponding real Clifford algebra. We conclude that Standard Model gauge groups form as a consequence of higher dimensional Clifford algebra carrying Euclidean signature, and particle states identified as a composition of basis elements of our complex Euclidean Clifford algebra.
