Clifford Spinors and Root System Induction: $$H_4$$ and the Grand Antiprism

چکیده
Recent work has shown that every 3D root system allows the construction of a correponding 4D via an `induction theorem'. In this paper, we look at icosahedral case $H_3\rightarrow H_4$ in detail and perform calculations explicitly. Clifford algebra is used to group theoretic based on versor theorem Cartan-Dieudonn\'e theorem, giving simple Pin Spin covers. Using connection with $H_3$ induction sheds light geometric aspects $H_4$ (the $600$-cell) as well other related polytopes their symmetries, such famous Grand Antiprism snub 24-cell. The uniform systems from procedure splitting respect subrootsystems into separate invariant sets further systematic insight underlying geometry. All are performed even subalgebra Cl(3), including Coxeter plane, which for visualising complementary pairs polytopes, shared supplementary computational sheets. This approach therefore constitutes more general way performing concerning groups, particular reflection groups systems, algebraic framework.

Grand Antiprism and Quaternions
Vertices of the 4-dimensional semi-regular polytope, the grand antiprism and its symmetry group of order 400 are represented in terms of quaternions with unit norm. It follows from the icosian representation of the E8 root system which decomposes into two copies of the root system of H4. The symmetry of the grand antiprism is a maximal subgroup of the Coxeter groupW (H4). It is the groupAut(H2⊕...
متن کاملClifford algebras and spinors
This essay will present a brief outline of the theory of Clifford algebras, together with a small amount of material about quadratic forms. I follow loosely the well known book Geometric algebra by Emil Artin, but with elegant modifications that I saw originally in some lecture notes by Raoul Bott, (dating from 1962), subsequently included in [Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro:1964]. In the first section, I’...
متن کاملClifford Algebras and Spinors ∗
Expository notes on Clifford algebras and spinors with a detailed discussion of Majorana, Weyl, and Dirac spinors. The paper is meant as a review of background material, needed, in particular, in now fashionable theoretical speculations on neutrino masses. It has a more mathematical flavour than the over twenty-six-year-old Introduction to Majorana masses [1] and includes historical notes and b...
