“Clifford algebras and spin representations”
We continue our investigation of polynomial identity algebras. In particular, we find more examples of them.
The focus of this talk is the construction of minimal pairs of certain classes of Turing degrees, in particular on the motivation
behind two proofs involving minimal pairs. First, I will describe a naive construction of a minimal pair of Turing degrees. Second, I will
The (special) orthogonal/unitary groups and their geometry will be discussed. Possible topics include covering groups, Clifford algebras, spin representations (as time permits).
When can a ring be embedded into a field? Goldie knew the answer, and made it more general! Come to this talk and find out for yourself.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
