Clifford algebras are naturally associated with quadratic forms. These algebras are Z2 -graded by construction. However, only a Zn -gradation induced by a choice of a basis, or even better, by a Chevalley vector space isomorphism Cl(V ) ↔ ∧ V and an ordering, guarantees a multivector decomposition into scalars, vectors, tensors, and so on, mandatory in physics. We show that the Chevalley isomor...
