[<img[images/png/1-form.png]]A ''1-form'', or ''//cotangent vector//'', $\f{f}$, is a geometric object that acts on a [[tangent vector]] at a point, $p$, to give a real number. It may be written in terms of the [[coordinate basis 1-forms]] as
\[ \f{f} = f_i \f{dx^i} \in T_{p}^{*}M \]
It is a linear operator, and so may be written as a function of a vector or more simply as a [[vector-form contraction|vector-form algebra]] (product),
\[ \f{f}(\ve{v}) = {\bf i}_{\ve{v}} \f{f} = \ve{v} \f{f} = v^j f_i \ve{\pa_j} \f{dx^i} = v^j f_i \de_j^i= v^i f_i \in \Re \]
The vector space of [[1-form]]s at each point, $p$, of a [[manifold]], $M$, is the ''cotangent space'', $T_{p}^* M$, and is spanned by the $\f{dx^i}$. The space of 1-forms is the [[dual space]] to the space of tangent vectors. There is a unique basis 1-form, $\f{dx^i}$, corresponding to each basis vector, $\ve{\pa_i}$, such that $\f{dx^i}(\ve{\pa_j}) = \ve{\pa_j} \f{dx^i} =\de^i_j$. As a dual space, there is also an induced [[metric]] between 1-forms, $\lp \f{dx^i}, \f{dx^j} \rp = g^{ij}$.
A ''2-sphere'' embedded in flat 3-space is a two dimensional [[manifold]], $M$, defined by the equation $x^e x^f \de_{ef} = r^2$ -- it is the surface of constant $r=r$ in [[spherical coordinates]]. The angular spherical coordinates, $(\th,\ph)$, cover patches of the manifold (other patches are needed for the poles). The [[metric]] induced on the 2-sphere is $g_{ij} = {\rm diag}(r^2, r^2 \sin^2(\th))$. The simplest [[frame]] compatible with this metric is
$$
\f{e} = \f{d \th} \, r \si_1 + \f{d \ph} \, r \sin(\th) \si_2
$$
in which $\si_{1/2}$ are the [[Clifford basis vectors]] for [[Cl(2,0)|Clifford matrix representation]]. The coframe is
$$
\ve{e} = \si^1 \fr{1}{r} \ve{\pa_\th} + \si^2 \fr{1}{r \sin(\th)} \ve{\pa_\ph}
$$
The [[torsion]]less [[spin connection]], found by solving [[Cartan's equation]], $0=\f{d} \f{e} + \f{\om} \times \f{e}$, is
$$
\f{\om} = - \ve{e} \times \f{d} \f{e} + \fr{1}{4} \lp \ve{e} \times \ve{e} \rp \lp \f{e} \cdot \f{d} \f{e} \rp = - \f{d \ph} \cos(\th) \si_{12}
$$
The [[Clifford vector bundle]] curvature is
$$
\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{\om} + \ha \f{\om} \f{\om} = \f{d \th} \f{d \ph} \sin(\th) \si_{12}
$$
The [[Clifford-Ricci curvature]] is
$$
\f{R} = \ve{e} \times \ff{F} = \f{d \ph} \fr{1}{r} \sin(\th) \si_2 + \f{d \th} \fr{1}{r} \si_1 = \fr{1}{r^2} \f{e}
$$
showing that the 2-sphere is an [[Einstein space|Einstein's equation]] with cosmological constant $\La = 0$ (as do all two dimensional spaces). The [[Clifford curvature scalar]] is $R = \ve{e} \cdot \f{R} = \fr{2}{r^2}$.
A ''3-sphere'' embedded in flat 4-space of positive signature is a three dimensional [[manifold]], $M$, defined by the equation $x^w x^x \de_{wx} = r^2$ -- it is the surface of constant $r=r$ in $4d$ [[hyperspherical coordinates]],
\begin{eqnarray}
x^1 &=& r \cos(a^1) \\
x^2 &=& r \sin(a^1) \cos(a^2) \\
x^3 &=& r \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2) \cos(a^3) \\
x^4 &=& r \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2) \sin(a^3)
\end{eqnarray}
The angular hyperspherical coordinates, $(a^1,a^2,a^3)$, cover patches of the manifold (other patches are needed for the poles). The [[metric]] induced on the 3-sphere is $g_{ij} = {\rm diag}(r^2, r^2 \sin^2(a^1),r^2 \sin^2(a^1) \sin^2(a^2))$. The simplest [[frame]] compatible with this metric is
$$
\f{e} = \f{d a^1} \, r \si_1 + \f{d a^2} \, r \sin(a^1) \si_2 + \f{d a^3} \, r \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2) \si_3
$$
in which $\si_{1/2/3}$ are the [[Clifford basis vectors]] for [[Cl(3,0)|Cl(3)]]. The coframe is
$$
\ve{e} = \si^1 \fr{1}{r} \ve{\pa_1} + \si^2 \fr{1}{r \sin(a^1)} \ve{\pa_2} + \si^3 \fr{1}{r \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2)} \ve{\pa_3}
$$
The [[torsion]]less [[spin connection]], found by solving [[Cartan's equation]], $0=\f{d} \f{e} + \f{\om} \times \f{e}$, is
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\om} &=& - \ve{e} \times \f{d} \f{e} + \fr{1}{4} \lp \ve{e} \times \ve{e} \rp \lp \f{e} \cdot \f{d} \f{e} \rp \\
&=& - \f{d a^2} \cos(a^1) \si_{12} - \f{d a^3} \cos(a^1) \sin(a^2) \si_{13} - \f{d a^3} \cos(a^2) \si_{23}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[Clifford vector bundle]] curvature is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{F} &=& \f{d} \f{\om} + \ha \f{\om} \f{\om} \\
&=& \f{d a^1} \f{d a^2} \sin(a^1) \si_{12} + \f{d a^1} \f{d a^3} \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2) \si_{13} + \f{d a^2} \f{d a^3} \sin^2(a^1) \sin(a^2) \si_{23}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[Clifford-Ricci curvature]] is
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{R} &=& \ve{e} \times \ff{F} \\
&=& \f{d a^1} \fr{2}{r} \si_1 + \f{d a^2} \fr{2}{r} \sin(a^1) \si_2 + \f{d a^3} \fr{2}{r} \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2) \si_3 \\
&=& \fr{2}{r^2} \f{e}
\end{eqnarray}
showing that the 3-sphere is an [[Einstein space|Einstein's equation]] with cosmological constant $\La = \fr{1}{2 r^2}$. The [[Clifford curvature scalar]] is $R = \ve{e} \cdot \f{R} = \fr{8}{r^2}$.

This hasn't been around long enough for any questions asked to be frequent, but I'll try to anticipate some.
!!Who?
The site is principally authored by me, [[Garrett Lisi]]. I may open it up for collaboration in the future.
As to who it's good for... well, mostly it's for my own use. But if you have a background in physics and math, with at least some graduate level work under your belt, most of what's here should be accessible to you, and some may even be of interest.
!!What?
It's sort of a "choose your own adventure" book in theoretical physics — only the book is being written day-by-day and no one knows the ending, or if there is one. It's my real-time research notebook, made available to public view. I hope to make it comparable to an open ended [[Living Reviews in Relativity|http://relativity.livingreviews.org/]] article in spirit and quality, but updated more frequently and navigable as a wiki. My long term goal is to construct a concise and beautiful theoretical description of reality unifying General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory, and the Standard Model using the foundations and language of basic differential geometry. Such a theory may not exist, but that's what I'm after. And here you can watch me walk down every dark alleyway looking for it — until I find it, or at least some interesting stuff along the way. This evolving search tree will grow and be pruned in ways I can't now predict. But I expect the information contained to be equivalent to a book and several overlapping research papers, wikified and presented as they are written. It's open source physics.
!!Why?
I needed a way to organize my physics notes. And I was simultaneously contemplating the best way to present and navigate theoretical physics. [[Semantic Networks|http://www.jfsowa.com/pubs/semnet.htm]] provide a natural structure for relating abstract conceptual information, and I considered building a graphical system to do what I want along those lines... but a wiki is a good practical equivalent. It allows a reader to quickly learn new concepts in digestible pieces, and trace forwards or backwards to the implications or foundations of those concepts — while allowing an author, or authors, to easily expand the content. I am very impressed with the way [[Wikipedia|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page]] works and evolves, and this is my own personal version, for research.
!!How?
The two main pieces from which this site is built are [[TiddlyWiki|http://www.tiddlywiki.com/]], created by Jeremy Ruston, and [[jsMath|http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/]], made by Davide P. Cervone. Both of these excellent open source software packages are under continuing development and have supportive communities. I owe thanks to many people for building the pieces used for this site, and for helping out with technical details. To delve more into the nitty-gritty of how it's put together, and see who contributed which plugins, go check out the [[Configuration]]. If things don't work perfectly, it's probably my fault. You can get everything you need to set up a similar wiki for yourself from this [[downloads directory|http://deferentialgeometry.org/download/]].
To use it... try things. Click on buttons and see what happens, you'll figure it out.
!!What about money for food?
My research is supported entirely by private contributions, mostly mine. Support is always appreciated, is tax deductible via a 501(c)(3) corporation, and may be contributed by contacting me.
!!Where
This site is served from a closet in San Jose, California (thanks Rich!). It's currently mirrored from a laptop on a volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific, but the laptop follows its owner everywhere... except out surfing — it hates that.
!!When
Now.

!!How did you come up with the title, "Deferential Geometry"?
My favorite interpretation is that it's about geometry in the service of physics. There is a lot of bad theoretical physics out there without math, and a lot of good math without physics; good physics uses math, and this site is about using only the math needed by physics. There shouldn't be any mathematical tangents here without physics ideas motivating them — the geometry is deferential to the physics.

abstract:
All fields of the [[standard model]] and [[gravity|modified BF gravity]] are unified as an [[E8]] [[principal bundle]] [[connection]]. A non-compact real form of the [[E8 Lie algebra|e8]] has [[G2]] and [[F4]] subalgebras which break down to strong [[su(3)]], electroweak [[su(2)]] x u(1), gravitational [[so(3,1)|spacetime]], the [[frame]]-Higgs, and three generations of fermions related by [[triality]]. The interactions and dynamics of these [[1-form]] and [[Grassmann|Grassmann number]] valued parts of an E8 [[superconnection]] are described by the [[curvature]] and action over a four dimensional base [[manifold]].
A [[talk for ILQGS 07]] on 11/13/07 was presented on this paper.

<<tiddler HideTags>>The BRST technique accounts for gauge symmetries by introducing new fields with anticommuting coefficients and dynamics that fixes the original local gauge symmetry and introduces a new global (super) symmetry -- the BRST transformation.
Connection: $\;\;\;\; \f{A} = \f{H} + \f{K} \;\; \in \; H + K = G\vp{A_{\big(}} \;\;\;\;$ with $H$ reductive in $G$.
Action: $\;\;\;\; S = \int \big< \ff{B} \ff{F} + \nf{V}(B^H) \big> \vp{A_{\big(}} \;\;\;\;$ purely gauge (topological) in $\f{K}$.
BRST transformation: (make gauge parameter, $\ps = \ps^{\, \io}(x) T_\io \in K$, an anticommuting BRST field)
$$
\begin{array}{rclcrclcrcl}
\ud{\de} \f{K} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! -\f{D} \ud{\ps} & \;\;\; & \ud{\de} \ud{\ps} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! -\ha \big[ \ud{\ps}, \ud{\ps} \big] & & & & \\
\ud{\de} \ff{B} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \big[ \ff{B}, \ud{\ps} \big] & \;\;\; & \ud{\de} \fff{\od{B}} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \fff{\la} & \;\; & \ud{\de} \fff{\la} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! 0
\end{array}
\s\s\; \Longrightarrow \;\;\;
\ud{\de} S = 0, \;\; \ud{\de} \ud{\de} = 0
$$
Choose a ''BRST potential'', $\od{\Ps} = \int \big< \fff{\od{B}} \f{K} \big>$, and use it to make the BRST action,
$$
S' = \ud{\de} \od{\Ps} + S = \int \big< \fff{\la} \f{K} + \fff{\od{B}} \f{D} \ud{\ps} + \ff{B} \ff{F} + \nf{V}(B^H) \big>
$$
Varying $\fff{\la}$ fixes the gauge to $\f{K} = 0$, giving the effective action,
$$
S^{\mbox{eff}} = \int \big< \fff{\od{B}} \f{D} \ud{\ps} + \ff{B} \ff{F}{}^H + \nf{V}(B^H) \big>
$$
which can be the Dirac action for a suitable algebra, and $\fff{\od{B}}= \fr{1}{4!} \bar{\ps} \f{e} \f{e} \f{e} \ep$. The literature mentions the BRST superconnection, $\udf{A} = \f{H} + \ud{\ps}$, with $\ud{\ps}$ a "1-form in the space of connections," related to TQFT, and $(\f{d}+\ud{\de})$ relating to BRST cohomology and anomalies.
<<tiddler HideTags>>Start with $E8$ principal bundle connection and its curvature,
$$
\f{A} = \f{H} + \f{\Ps} \qquad \quad
\ff{F} = (\f{d} \f{H} + \f{H} \f{H} + \f{\Ps} \f{\Ps})
+ (\f{d} \f{\Ps} + \f{H} \f{\Ps} + \f{\Ps} \f{H})
$$
Action such that $\f{\Ps}$ part is pure gauge,
$$
S = \int \big< \ff{B} \ff{F}
+ {\scriptsize \frac{\pi G}{4}} \ff{B}{}_G \ff{B}{}_G \ga + \ff{B'} \ff{*B'} \big>
$$
BRST: Replace $\f{\Ps}$ part with ghosts, $\ud{\Ps}$, in extended connection,
$$
\udf{A} = \f{H} + \ud{\Ps} \qquad \quad
\udff{F} = \big( \f{d} \f{H} + \f{H} \f{H} \big) + \big( \f{d} \ud{\Ps} + [ \f{H}, \ud{\Ps} ] \big)
= \ff{F}{}_H + \f{D} \ud{\Ps}
$$
Effective action for gauge fields, ghosts, and anti-ghosts:
\begin{eqnarray}
S &=& \int \big< \ff{\od{B}} \udff{F}
+ {\scriptsize \frac{\pi G}{4}} \ff{B}{}_G \ff{B}{}_G \ga + \ff{B'} \ff{*B'} \big> \\
&=& \int \big< \fff{\od{B}} \f{D} \ud{\Ps}
+ \nf{e} \fr{1}{16 \pi G} \ph^2 \big( R - \fr{3}{2} \ph^2 \big) + \fr{1}{4} \ff{F'} \ff{*F'} \big>
\end{eqnarray}
<<tiddler HideTags>>$\de \nf{L} = 0$ under [[gauge transformation]]: $\de \f{A} = - \f{\na} C = -\f{d} C - \big[ \f{A}, C \big]$
Account for gauge part of $\f{A}$ by introducing [[Grassmann|Grassmann number]] valued ''ghosts'', $\ud{C} \in \ud{\rm Lie}(G)_g$, ''anti-ghosts'', $\nf{\od{B}}$, ''partners'', $\nf{\la}$, and [[BRST transformation|BRST technique]]:
$$
\begin{array}{rclcrcl}
\ud{\de} \f{A} &=& - \f{\na} \ud{C} & \s\;\;\; & \ud{\de} \ud{C} &=& - \ha \big[ \ud{C}, \ud{C} \big] \\
\ud{\de} \ff{B} &=& \big[ \ff{B}, \ud{C} \big] & \s\;\;\; & \ud{\de} \nf{\od{B}} &=& \nf{\la} \\
\ud{\de} \nf{\la} &=& 0 & \s\;\;\; & & &
\end{array}
$$
This satisfies $\ud{\de} \nf{L} = 0_{\phantom{\big(}}$and $\ud{\de} \ud{\de} = 0$.
Choose a ''BRST potential'', $\nf{\od{\Ps}} = \big< \nf{\od{B}} \f{A} \big>$, to get new Lagrangian:
$$
\nf{L'} = \nf{L} + \ud{\de} \nf{\od{\Ps}} = \nf{L} + \big< \nf{\la} \f{A_g} \big> + \big< \nf{\od{B}} \f{\na} \ud{C} \big>
$$
BRST partners act as Lagrange multipliers; ''effective Lagrangian'':
$$
\nf{L^{\rm eff}} = \nf{L}[\ff{B'},\f{A'}] + \big< \nf{\od{B}} \f{\na'} \ud{C} \big>
$$
//This is a speculative description of the [[BRST technique]] based on conversations with [[Michael Edwards]]//
Start with a [[connection]] 1-form, $\f{\om}$, defined over the entire space of a [[fiber bundle]], and some fiber bundle section, $\si$. The connection field over the base manifold is the pullback of the connection along the section,
$$
\f{A} = \si^* \f{\om}
$$
A BRST transformation may be a way of describing how $\f{A}$ changes under a change of section. (Though I think this is just a gauge transformation, with a funny pair of Grassmann valued parameters.) Consider a vector field,
$$
\ve{\va} = \va^A(x) \ve{\xi_A}(p)
$$
on the entire space, with $\ve{\xi_A}$ the flow fields corresponding to the group generators, $T_A$. The gauge transformation parameters can be written in terms of a Grassmann valued parameter and Grassmann valued ghost fields as $\va^A(x)= \va C^A(x)$. The BRST transformation then is
$$
\f{\de A} = - \si^* L_{\ve{\va}} \f{\om} = \va s \f{A} = - \va (\f{d} C + \f{A} \times C)
$$
in which $C=C^A T_A$.
//Hmm, this seems to give the change in A from flowing $\om$ under $\si$...//
Another idea, from Picken. Instead of pulling the [[Ehresmann connection]] back along a section, use the surface [[vector projection]] on the E conn to project to the gauge 1-form on the surface and a ''ghost'' -- a 1-form off of the surface. This ghost is the projection of the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], and its value determines the shape of the section. May be able to connect this with other descriptions, like the one above.
Nah, none of this is going to work right. Have to work in the space of connections.

The [[BRST technique]] fixes and accounts for [[gauge symmetries|gauge transformation]] by introducing new fields with [[Grassmann valued|Grassmann number]] coefficients having dynamics and interactions with existing fields that breaks the original local gauge symmetry but includes a new global (super) symmetry -- the BRST transformation -- that's a "rotation" between old and new fields. This method of gauge fixing is an indispensable tool in the application of path integral methods in the quantum field theory of non-abelian gauge fields ([[principal bundle]] connections), and has a natural extension to describe the existence and dynamics of fermionic [[spinor]] fields.
A restricted BF [[Lagrangian|action]],
$$
\nf{\cal L} = \li \nf{B} \ff{F} + \nf{\Phi}(\f{A},\nf{B}) \ri
$$
invariant, $\delta_{G} \nf{\cal L} = 0$, under some subset of the gauge transformation, $G \in {\frak h} \subset {\frak g}$, is amenable to the BRST technique. A ''ghost field'', $\ud{C} = \ud{C^A} T_A \in \ud{\frak h}$, is introduced with Grassmann coefficients multiplying [[Lie algebra]] elements, along with an anti-Grassmann valued $(n-1)$-form ''antighost field'', $\nf{\od{B}} = \nf{\od{B}{}^A} T_A$, and a real valued $(n-1)$-form ''BRST partner field'', $\nf{\lambda} = \nf{\lambda^A} T_A$. This new system is equipped with a global ''BRST transformation'' -- a ''supersymmetry rotation'' between real and Grassmann valued variables,
$$
\begin{array}{rclcrcl}
\ud{\de} \f{A} &=& -\f{\nabla} \ud{C} & \;\;\; & \ud{\de} \ud{C} &=& -\ha \lb \ud{C}, \ud{C} \rb \\
\ud{\de} \nf{B} &=& \lb \nf{B}, \ud{C} \rb & \;\;\; & \ud{\de} \nf{\od{B}} &=& \nf{\la} \\
\ud{\de} \nf{\la} &=& 0 & & & &
\end{array}
$$
that is nilpotent, $\ud{\de} \ud{\de} = 0$, and leaves the Lagrangian invariant (''BRST [[closed]]''), $\ud{\de} \nf{\cal L} = 0$. Physical observables are in the [[cohomology]] of this ''BRST operator'', $\ud{\de}$. Dynamics are introduced for the ghosts by adding a ''BRST [[exact]]'' term to get a ''BRST extended Lagrangian'',
$$
\nf{\cal L'} = \nf{\cal L} + \ud{\de} \nf{\od{\Psi}}
$$
with some ''BRST potential'', $\nf{\od{\Psi}}$, chosen. For example, choosing
$$
\nf{\od{\Psi}} = \li \nf{\od{B}} \f{A} \ri
$$
gives
$$
\ud{\de} \nf{\od{\Psi}} = \li \nf{\la} \f{A} \ri + \li \nf{\od{B}} \f{\nabla} \ud{C} \ri
$$
The BRST partner field, $\nf{\la}$, acts as a Lagrange multiplier constraining the gauge freedom of the connection, so the ''gauge fixed connection'' is $\f{A} = \f{A'}$, with $\nf{\la} \f{A'} = 0$. The resulting ''effective Lagrangian'' is
$$
\nf{\cal L^{\rm eff}} = \li \nf{B'} \ff{F'} + \nf{\Phi}(\f{A'},\nf{B'}) \ri
+ \li \nf{\od{B}} \f{\nabla'} \ud{C} \ri
$$
This form of the Lagrangian suggests the introduction of a ''BRST extended connection'',
$$
\udf{A} = \f{A'} + \ud{C}
$$
with ''BRST extended curvature'',
$$
\udff{F} = \f{d} \udf{A} + \ha \lb \udf{A} , \udf{A} \rb = \ff{F'} + \f{\nabla'} \ud{C} + \ha \lb \ud{C} , \ud{C} \rb
$$
allowing the effective Larangian to be written as
$$
\nf{\cal L^{\rm eff}} = \li \nf{\od{B'}} \udff{F} + \nf{\Phi}(\f{A'},\nf{B'}) \ri
$$
with $\nf{\od{B'}} = \nf{B'} + \nf{\od{B}}$.

Equate $Pin(1,3)$ spinor representation space with left-chiral ''biquaternions'' -- complex quaternions,
$$
\ps = \lb \ba{c} \ps_1 \\ \ps_2 \\ \ps_3 \\ \ps_4 \ea \rb \; \;
\ps^C = i \ga_2 \ps^* = \lb \ba{c} -\ps_4^* \\ \ps_3^* \\ \ps_2^* \\ -\ps_1^* \ea \rb \; \;

$$
Using the Pauli matrix representation of quaternions, $\{ e_0 = \si_0, \, e_\pi = -i \si_\pi\}$, we have the isomorphism to biquaternionic spinors,
$$
\ps
\s \sim \s
\ps_Q = \ps_Q^0 \si_0 + \ps_Q^\pi (-i \si_\pi)
\s \sim \s
\ps_{\mathbb{H}} = \ps_{\mathbb{H}}^\mu e_\mu \, \in \, \mathbb{C} \otimes \mathbb{H}
$$
The action of Lorentz generators (rotations and boosts) on biquaternionic spinors is
$$
J_\pi \ps = \lp - \fr{i}{2} \si_0 \otimes \si_\pi \rp \ps \;\; \sim \;\; J_\pi \ps_\mathbb{H} = \fr{1}{2} e_\pi \ps_\mathbb{H} \s \s
K_\pi \ps = \lp \fr{1}{2} \si_3 \otimes \si_\pi \rp \ps \;\; \sim \;\; K_\pi \ps_\mathbb{H} = \fr{i}{2} e_\pi \ps_\mathbb{H}
$$
showing $Spin^+(1,3) = SL(2,\mathbb{C}) = \mathbb{C} \otimes \mathbb{H}^\mathbb{I}$.
The $C$, $P$, and $T$ generators become:
$$
\ba{rclcrclcrclcrcl}
\ps^C \ae i \ga_2 \ps^* &\s& \ps_{Q}^C \ae \ps_{Q} \si_1 &\s& \ps_{\mathbb{H}}^C \ae i \ps_{\mathbb{H}} e_1 &\s& C &\sim& i e_1 \\[2pt]
\ps^P \ae i \ga_0 \ps &\s& \ps_{Q}^P \ae - \si_2 \ps_{Q}^* \si_1 &\s& \ps_{\mathbb{H}}^P \ae - \ps_{\mathbb{H}}^* e_3 &\s& P &\sim& -K e_3 \\[2pt]
\ps^{T} \ae \ga_{13} \ps^* &\s& \ps_{Q}^{T} \ae i \si_2 \ps_{Q}^* &\s& \ps_{\mathbb{H}}^{T} \ae - \ps_{\mathbb{H}}^* e_2 &\s& T &\sim& -K e_2
\ea
$$
with the complex conjugation and quaternion multiplication in $C$, $P$, and $T$ acting to the left. These combine to give $CPT \sim -i$.
A ''Borcherds algbera'', or ''Generalized Lie algebra'', is similar to a [[Kac-Moody algbera]], such as an [[affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra|affine Lie algebra]], but is allowed to have imaginary (or null) simple roots, such as $<\!\al_B,\al_B\!>\,=0$. The ''generalized [[Chevalley-Serre relations|Lie algebra structure]]'' gives the presentation of a Borcherds algebra,
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
\big[ H_a , H_b \big] \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! 0 \\
\big[ H_a , E_{\pm b} \big] \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \pm S_{ab} E_{\pm b} \\
\big[ E_{+a} , E_{-a} \big] \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! H_a \\
\big[ E_{\pm i} , E_{\pm j} \big] \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! N_{\pm i, \pm j} \, E_{\pm k} \\
Ad_{(E_{\pm a})^{1-S_{ab}}} \lp E_{\pm b} \rp &=& 0 \;\;\;\; \text{ for } S_{aa} \ne 0 \text{ and } a \ne b
\end{array}
$$
As a simple example, consider the symmetric ''generalized symmeterized [[Cartan matrix|root system]]'', $S_{ab} = \,<\!\al_a,\al_b\!>\,=(H_a,H_b)$, for $su(2)^B$, with simple roots $\al_1$ and $\al_B$,
$$
S_{ab} =
\lb
\begin{array}{cc}
2 & -1 \\
-1 & 0 \\
\end{array}
\rb
$$
The [[Cartan subalgebra|Lie algebra structure]], $\mathfrak{C}$, is spanned by $H_1 = T'_3$ and $H_B = \ha ( N - T'_3 )$, in which $T'_3$ is a normalized [[su(2)]] generator, $T'_3 = \fr{i}{2} T_3$, and $N$ is the ''number operator'', chosen to be orthonormal: $(T'_3,T'_3)=2$, $(T'_3,N)=0$, and $(N,N)=-2$. The fundamental [[weights]], $\om^1$ and $\om^B$, satisfy $<\! \om_1,\al_1\!>\, = 1$, $<\! \om_1,\al_B \!>\, =0$, $<\! \om_B,\al_B \!>\, = 1$, and $<\! \om_B,\al_1 \!>\, =0$, and are therefore $\om^1 = - \ha \al_B$ and $\om^B = -\ha \al_1 -\ha \al_B = -\ha \al_N$. If we choose the fundamental representation space, with highest weight $\La=\om_B$, the representation space looks like the [[Fock space]] for a [[spinor]].
Further generalization: Change Serre relations to restrict to symmetric or antisymmetric applications of creation operators, instead of ignoring restriction on Borcherds generators, in order to act like bosons and fermions?

The [[table of Clifford matrix representations]] repeats with eight-fold ''Bott periodicity'', $Cl(p+8,q) = Cl(p,q) \otimes Cl(8)$, because $Cl(8)$ can be represented by $\mathbb{R}(16)$ and has $\Ga^2 = 1$.

<<tiddler HideTags>>Since every fermion has an anti-fermion, there is a ''charge symmetry'', $C$, that transforms between them. This symmetry is not in $Pin(1,3)$, but operates on the complex representation space of $Pin(1,3)$ spinors as an anti-unitary operator,
$$
U_C = i \ga_2 K
$$
in which $K$ is complex conjugation. We can combine this with our unitary time operator to get ''anti-unitary time conjugation'', and add a phase to parity conjugation,
$$
U_T = U_C \, i U'_T = (i \ga_2 K)(i \ga_0 \ga) = \ga_1 \ga_3 K \s \s \s
U_P = i U'_P= i \ga_0
$$
These three conjugations, $C$, $P$, and $T$, combine to give
$$
U_{CP} = -\ga_0 \ga_2 K \s
U_{CT} = - i \ga_1 \ga_2 \ga_3 \s
U_{PT} = i \ga_0 \ga_1 \ga_3 K \s
U_{CPT} = \ga
$$
The ''CPT Group'', $G_{CPT}$, of order $16$, thus has multiplication table:
| $\;1\;$ | $C$ | $P$ | $T$ | $CP$ | $CT$ | $PT$ | $CPT$ |
| $\;C\;$ | $+1$ | $CP$ | $CT$ | $P$ | $T$ | $CPT$ | $PT$ |
| $\;P\;$ | $CP$ | $ -1$ | $PT$ | $-C$ | $CPT$ | $-T$ | $-CT$ |
| $\;T\;$ | $CT$ | $-PT$ | $-1$ | $-CPT$ | $-C$ | $P$ | $CP$ |
| $\;CP\;$ | $P$ | $-C$ | $CPT$ | $-1$ | $PT$ | $-CT'$ | $-T$ |
| $\;CT\;$ | $T$ | $-CPT$ | $-C$ | $-PT$ | $-1$ | $CP $ | $P$ |
| $\;PT\;$ | $CPT$ | $T$ | $-P$ | $CT $ | $-CP $ | $-1$ | $-C$ |
| $\;CPT\;$ | $PT$ | $CT$ | $-CP$ | $T'$ | $-P$ | $-C $ | $-1$ |
Since $C$ commutes, this is identifiable as the split-biquaternion group, $G_{CPT} = Q_8 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$, the direct product of the quaternion group, $Q_8 = \{ \pm 1, \pm P, \pm T, \pm PT \}$, and $\mathbb{Z}_2 = \{ 1, C \}$.

$$
include creation and annihilation operators for particles, $\ud{\hat{a}}_{\, p}^{L/R}$, and antiparticles, $\ud{\hat{b}}_{\, p}^{L/R}$, of left and right chirality, for all possible momenta.
The charge, parity, and time conjugates of Dirac solutions are also Dirac solutions, and correspond to conjugations of a quantum Dirac spinor. A faithful representative group operator, $O(g)$, on Dirac spinors has a corresponding operator, $\hat{O}(g)$, on the infinite-dimensional representation space operators (i.e. creation and annihilation operators) of QFT,
$$
\ud{\hat{\Ps}}^g(x) = \hat{O}(g) \, \ud{\hat{\Ps}}(x) \, \hat{O}^-(g) = O(g) \, \ud{\hat{\Ps}}(x'_g(x))

\ea
$$
using Dirac solution identities, $i \ga_2 \, u_p^{\wedge/\vee \, *} = v_p^{\wedge/\vee}$ and $i \ga_2 \, v_p^{\wedge/\vee \, *} = u_p^{\wedge/\vee}$. The charge conjugation transformations of the creation and annihilation operators, using the corresponding operation on the infinite-dimensional representation, $\ud{\hat{\Ps}}^C = \hat{C} \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \hat{C}^-$, are thus:
$$

$$
\ba{rcl}
\ud{\hat{\Ps}}^P &=& i \ga_0 \int{\fr{-d^3p}{(2\pi)^3 (2E)}} \lp \ud{\hat{a}}_{\, -p}^{\wedge/\vee} u_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu} + \ud{\hat{b}}_{\, -p}^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} v_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu} \rp \\[5pt]

\ea
$$
using $i \ga_0 \, u_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} = + i \, u_p^{\wedge/\vee}$ and $i \ga_0 \, v_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} = - i \, v_p^{\wedge/\vee}$. The parity conjugation transformations of the creation and annihilation operators are thus:

\s \s
\lp \ud{\hat{b}}_{\, p}^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} \rp^P = +i \, \ud{\hat{b}}_{\, -p}^{\wedge/\vee \, \da}
$$
The [[time conjugate]], $\Ps^T = \ga_{13} \Ps(-t,x)$, of a massless quantum Dirac spinor corresponds to an antiunitary operator on Fock space,
$$
\ba{rcl}
\ud{\hat{\Ps}}^T &=& \hat{T}' \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \hat{T}'^-

$$
using $\ga_{13} \, u_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} = \mp \, u_p^{\vee/\wedge \, *}$ and $\ga_{13} \, v_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} = \mp \, v_p^{\vee/\wedge \, *}$. The time conjugation transformations of the creation and annihilation operators for particles and antiparticles are thus:

There is a finite [[group]], the ''CPT group'', $G_{CPT}$, corresponding to the actions of three generators, [[charge conjugation|charge conjugate]], $\hat{C}$, [[parity conjugation|parity conjugate]], $\hat{P}$, and [[time conjugation|time conjugate]], $\hat{T}$, on [[Fock space]]. These correspond to generators operating on the [[Dirac spinor]] [[representation space]],
$$
\hat{C} \sim C = i \ga_2 K \s \s \hat{P} \sim P = i \ga_0 \s \s \hat{T} \sim T' = - C T_U = K T = \ga_{13} K
$$
in which $K$ is complex conjugation. It is necessary to use the antiunitary time conjugation operator, $T' \sim \hat{T}$, here instead of $T$ in order to properly match the fact that $\hat{T}$ is [[antiunitary]] when acting on Fock space. These generators square to
$$
\hat{C}^2 \sim C^2 = +1 \s \s \hat{P}^2 \sim P^2 = -1 \s \s \hat{T}^2 \sim {T'}^2 = -1
$$
and cross multiply to
$$
C P = P C = - \ga_{02} K \s \s C T' = T' C = - i \ga_{123} \s \s P T' = - T' P = i \ga_{013} K \s \s CPT' = \ga
$$
This closes the group, of order 16,
$$
\ba{rcl}
G_{CPT} \ae \{ \pm 1, \pm C, \pm P, \pm T', \pm CP, \pm CT', \pm PT', \pm CPT' \} \\
\ae \{ \pm 1, \pm i \ga_2 K, \pm i \ga_0, \pm \ga_{13}K, \mp \ga_{02} K, \mp i \ga_{123}, \pm i \ga_{013}K, \pm \ga \}
\subset Pin(3,1)
\ea
$$
which is a [[subgroup]] of the [[spacetime pin group|spacetime spin group]], $Pin(3,1)$. The group multiplication table (which is the same whether we use $T'$ or $T_U$) is
| $\;1\;$ | $C$ | $P$ | $T'$ | $CP$ | $CT'$ | $PT'$ | $CPT'$ |
| $\;C\;$ | $+1$ | $CP$ | $CT'$ | $P$ | $T'$ | $CPT'$ | $PT'$ |
| $\;P\;$ | $CP$ | $ -1$ | $PT'$ | $-C$ | $CPT'$ | $-T'$ | $-CT'$ |
| $\;T'\;$ | $CT'$ | $-PT'$ | $-1$ | $-CPT'$ | $-C$ | $P$ | $CP$ |
| $\;CP\;$ | $P$ | $-C$ | $CPT'$ | $-1$ | $PT'$ | $-CT'$ | $-T'$ |
| $\;CT'\;$ | $T'$ | $-CPT'$ | $-C$ | $-PT'$ | $-1$ | $CP $ | $P$ |
| $\;PT'\;$ | $CPT'$ | $T'$ | $-P$ | $CT' $ | $-CP $ | $-1$ | $-C $ |
| $\;CPT'\;$ | $PT'$ | $CT'$ | $-CP$ | $T'$ | $-P$ | $-C $ | $-1$ |
which relates to [[quaternion]]s. If we identify
$$
C \sim I \s \s P \sim k \s \s T' \sim j
$$
with $I^2=1$ a [[split-complex number]] commuting with basis quaternions, $j k = i$, then $CPT'$ generate the ''split-biquaternion group'' (''CPT group''), $G_{CPT } = Q_8 \otimes \mathbb{Z}_2$, with $Q_8$ the ''quaternion group''. This CPT group has application in physics as [[CPT symmetry]].
The [[charge conjugation|charge conjugate]], $C$, [[parity conjugation|parity conjugate]], $P$, and [[time conjugation|time conjugate]], $T$, operators are elements of a finite [[group]], the [[CPT group]], $G_{CPT}$, which act on several [[representation space]]s of interest to physics. The parity and unitary time conjugation operators, $P$ and $T_U$, are elements of the [[pin group|spacetime spin group]], $\mbox{Pin}(3,1)$, which may be represented as [[Cl(3,1)]]${}^*$ [[Clifford group]] [[Clifford matrix representation]] elements via the [[Dirac matrices]]. Since we have so far preferred to work in [[spacetime]] of signature $(1,3)$, we can work in $Cl(3,1)$ by multiplying the usual [[Cl(1,3)]] basis vectors, $\ga_\mu$, by $i$. We extend the Clifford group by including the operation of [[complex conjugation|complex structure]], $K$, on Clifford matrix representatives and complex representation spaces. Some representative generators are
$$
C = i \ga_2 K \s \s P = i \ga_0 \s \s T_U = i \ga_0 \ga \s \s T = -K C T_U = \ga_{13} \s \s T' = - C T_U = TK = \ga_{13} K
$$
which can act on a [[Dirac spinor]],
$$
\Ps^C = i \ga_2 \Ps^* \s \s \Ps^P = i \ga_0 \Ps(t,-x) \s \s \Ps^{T_U} = i \ga_0 \ga \, \Ps(-t,x) \s \s \Ps^{T'} = \ga_{13} \Ps(-t,x)^*
$$
Note that here we have $\Ps^T = (((\Ps^K)^C)^{T_U}$ for the time conjugation operator. The [[Clifford reflection]]s, $P$ and $T_U$, are [[Lorentz transformation]]s, while complex and charge conjugations, $K$ and $C$, are [[gauge transformation]]s that may or may not be elements of the [[standard model gauge group]].
The $C$, $P$, and $T$ operators, as group elements, also have an [[infinite-dimensional unitary representation]]. The [[quantum Dirac spinor]] field,
$$
\ud{\hat{\Ps}} = \int{\fr{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3 (2E)}} \lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} u_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{-i (Et-p \cdot x)} + \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} v_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+i (Et-p \cdot x)} \rp
$$
includes [[creation and annihilation operators]] for anti-particles and particles with different momentum and spin, and acts on multi-particle [[Fock space]]. Through the correspondence,
$$
\hat{U}(g) \hat{\Ps}(x) \hat{U}(g)^- = O(g) \hat{\Ps}(g^- x)
$$
the $CPT$ operators induce maps between creation and annihilations operators:
$$
\lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^C = \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \s \s \lp \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^C = \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee}
$$
$$
\lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^P = i \, \ud{\hat{a}}_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee} \s \s \lp \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^P = i \, \ud{\hat{b}}_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee}
$$
$$
\lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^T = \pm \ud{\hat{a}}_{-p}^{\vee/\wedge} \s \s \lp \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^T = \pm \ud{\hat{b}}_{-p}^{\vee/\wedge}
$$
in which $C$ and $P$ are [[unitary]] operators and $T$ is [[antiunitary]], so $(i)^T = -i$. These operators on Fock space interrelate in the [[CPT group]], which is equivalent to the interrelation between $C$, $P$, and $T'$ acting on Dirac spinors.
It is a bit confusing, but the action on Dirac spinors is [[antiunitary]] for $C$ and $T'$ and [[unitary]] for $P$, $T_U$, and $T$, while the action on Fock space is unitary for $\hat{C}$, $\hat{P}$, and $\hat{T}_{\! U}$ and antiunitary for the [[time conjugation|time conjugate]] operator, $\hat{T}$.
Combining $C$, $P$, and $T$ or $T'$, we have the antiunitary operator, $CPT = \ga K$, or the unitary operator, $CPT' = \ga$, and the corresponding antiunitary operator on Fock space,
$$
\lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^{CPT} = \mp i \, \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\vee/\wedge} \s \s \lp \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^{CPT} = \mp i \, \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\vee/\wedge}
$$

Abstract: We investigate whether the hypercharge assignments in the Standard Model can be interpreted as a hint at Grand Unification in the context of heterotic string theory. To this end, we introduce a general method to calculate U(1)_Y for any heterotic orbifold and compare our findings to the cases where hypercharge arises from a GUT. Surprisingly, in the overwhelming majority of 3-2 Standard Models, a non-anomalous hypercharge direction can be defined, for which the spectrum is vector-like. For these models, we calculate sin^2 theta to see how well it agrees with the standard GUT value. We find that 12% have sin^2 theta = 3/8, while all others have values which are less. Finally, 89% of the models with sin^2 theta = 3/8 have U(1)_Y in SU(5).

**nice treatment. includes basic example of canonical and path integral QM, field theory, then does LQG via GFT.
A ''Cartan H-bundle'', with total space $E_H$, is a [[principal bundle]] with $n_H$ dimensional [[Lie group]], $H$, as the typical fiber (and structure group) and $n_M$ dimensional base, $M$. This bundle is not [[associated]] to the [[Ehresmann Cartan geometry]], $E_G$, since the structure group of $E_H$ is $H \subset G$; however, $E_H$ does serve as a base space under $E_G$, and the [[Ehresmann Cartan connection]] over $E_G$ does pull back to give a connection over $E_H$.
The Cartan H-bundle is mapped into a section (a [[submanifold]]), $E'_H$, of the Ehresmann Cartan geometry, $E_G$, by the reference section of the [[Cartan homogeneous space bundle]],
\begin{eqnarray}
\si'^S &:& E_H \to E_G \\
\si'^S(x,y) &=& (x,x_{s\si}(x),y)
\end{eqnarray}
The [[Ehresmann Cartan connection]] form [[pulls back|pullback]] along this map to give the ''Ehresmann Cartan H-connection form'' over $E_H$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{ {\cal C}_H}(x,y) &=& \si'^{S*} \f{\cal C} = \lp \f{C^J}(x) L^I{}_J(x_{s\si}(x),y) + \si'^{S*} \f{\xi_R^I}(x_{s\si}(x),y) \rp T_I \\
&=& g^-(x_{s\si}(x),y) \, \f{C}(x) \, g(x_{s\si}(x),y) + g^-(x_{s\si}(x),y) \, \f{d} \, g(x_{s\si}(x),y) \\
&=& h^-(y) \Big( r^-(x_{s\si}(x)) \, \f{C}(x) \, r(x_{s\si}(x)) + r^-(x_{s\si}(x)) \, \f{d} \, r(x_{s\si}(x)) \Big) h(y) + h^-(y) \, \f{d} h(y)
\end{eqnarray}
in which the [[coset representative section|homogeneous space]], $r:G/H \to G$, is used to write $g(x_s,y)=r(x_s) \, h(y)$. Choosing the homogeneous space bundle zero reference section, $r(x_{s\si_0}(x)) = r(0) = 1$, this gives
$$
\f{{\cal C}_H}(x,y) = h^-(y) \, \f{C}(x) \, h(y) + h^-(y) \, \f{d} \, h(y)
$$
Pulling this back along the [[canonical reference section|Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] gives the [[Cartan connection|Cartan geometry]], $\si_0^{H*} \f{{\cal C}_H} = \f{C}$, over $M$.
If $H$ is [[reductive]] in $G$ (as is usually assumed) the Ehresmann Cartan H-connection form splits into the ''Ehresmann Cartan H-connection frame form'' and '' Ehresmann H-connection form'',
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{ {\cal C}_H} &=& \f{ {\cal E}_H} + \f{ {\cal A}_H} \\
\f{ {\cal E}_H} &=& h^-(y) \, \f{e}(x) \, h(y) \in \f{\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}} \\
\f{ {\cal A}_H} &=& h^-(y) \, \f{A}(x) \, h(y) + h^-(y) \, \f{d} \, h(y) \in \f{\mathfrak{h}}
\end{eqnarray}
The Ehresmann H-connection form, $\f{{\cal A}_H}(x,y)$, over $E_H$ is an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] form for the bundle.
When the Ehresmann Cartan H-connection form equals the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{{\cal C}_H} = \f{\cal I}$, the Cartan H-bundle is an [[Ehresmann homogeneous space geometry]], $E_H = G$. In this way, the Cartan H-bundle may be considered to be a [[reductive Lie group geometry]], $G$, that has gone wavy along $G/H$ -- with $\f{{\cal C}_H}$ deviating from $\f{\cal I}$ to give the new [[frame]] 1-forms, $\f{{\cal C}_H^J} = \f{E^J}$, of the [[Cartan tangent bundle geometry]] over what was $G$.
A real [[Lie algebra]], ${\frak g}$, with a [[Killing form]], can be spanned by a set of orthogonal generators, $T_A^{\frak k}$ and $T_M^{\frak p}$, satisfying
$$
\lp T_A^{\frak k}, T_A^{\frak k} \rp = -1 \s \s
\lp T_M^{\frak p}, T_M^{\frak p} \rp = +1 \s \s
$$
These ''compact generator''s and ''noncompact generator''s generate a compact subgroup of the Lie group $G$ and a noncompact subspace, and span a ''compact subalgebra'', ${\frak k}$, and ''noncompact subspace'', ${\frak p}$, such that there is a ''Cartan decomposition'', ${\frak g} = {\frak k} \oplus {\frak p}$, and the Lie brackets between Lie algebra elements in these subspaces are necessarily
$$
\lb {\frak k}, {\frak k} \rb = {\frak k} \s \s
\lb {\frak k}, {\frak p} \rb = {\frak p} \s \s
\lb {\frak p}, {\frak p} \rb = {\frak k} \s \s
$$
A ''Cartan involution'' is a [[Lie algebra involution]], with $\th : {\frak k} \to {\frak k}$ and $\th : {\frak p} \to - {\frak p}$. The compact version of the Lie algebra can be defined as ${\frak g}' = {\frak k} \oplus i \, {\frak p}$.
A ''Cartan geometry'' is a [[Lie group geometry]], $G$, that's allowed to go wavy while maintaining some of its symmetry, represented by a subgroup, $H \subset G$, usually assumed to be [[reductive]] in $G$. The wavy ''Cartan geometry base manifold'', $M$, is ''modeled'' on the [[homogeneous space]], $M \sim S=G/H$, and has the same dimension, $n_S = (n_G - n_H)$. The ''Cartan connection'' over $M$,
$$
\f{C}(x) = \f{e} + \f{A} \in \f{\mathfrak{g}}
$$
is a [[Lieform]] modeled on the [[Maurer-Cartan frame|homogeneous space]], $\f{C} \sim \f{I} = r^- \f{d} r(x)$, and splits (for $H$ reductive in $G$) into the ''Cartan frame'', $\f{e}(x) = \f{e^A} K_A \in \f{\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}}$, and ''Cartan H-connection'', $\f{A}(x) = \f{A^P} H_P \in \f{\mathfrak{h}}$, which (unlike their homogeneous space counterparts) may vary freely.
The ''Cartan [[curvature]]'' of the connection is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{F}(x) &=& \f{d} \f{C} + \ha \lb \f{C}, \f{C} \rb \\
&=& \f{d} \f{e} + \f{d} \f{A} + \ha \lb \f{e}, \f{e} \rb + \lb \f{A}, \f{e} \rb + \ha \lb \f{A}, \f{A} \rb \\
&=& \ff{F^A} K_A + \ff{F^P} H_P
\end{eqnarray}
which (like the [[homogeneous space curvature|homogeneous space tangent bundle geometry]]) splits into
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{F^A} &=& \f{d} \f{e^A} + \f{A^P} \f{e^B} C_{PB}{}^A + \ha \f{e^C} \f{e^B} C_{CB}{}^A \\
\ff{F^P} &=& \ff{F_H^P} + \ha \f{e^C} \f{e^D} C_{CD}{}^P
\end{eqnarray}
with the ''curvature of the Cartan H-connection'' defined by:
$$
\ff{F_H^P} = \f{d} \f{A^P} + \ha \f{A^Q} \f{A^R} C_{QR}{}^P
$$
Note that $\ha \f{e^C} \f{e^B} C_{CB}{}^A = 0$ if $G/H$ is a [[symmetric space]].
There are many relationships between a Cartan geometry and other structures. A [[natural]] [[Ehresmann Cartan geometry]] is a description of a Cartan geometry as an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] for a [[G-bundle|principal bundle]] -- and this description splits via $G/H$ into the [[Cartan H-bundle]] and [[Cartan homogeneous space bundle]]. These two bundles relate to the way the [[Lie group tangent bundle geometry]] of $G$ turns wavy, described by the [[Cartan tangent bundle geometry]].

A ''Cartan homogeneous space bundle'', with total space $E_S$, is a [[fiber bundle]] with $n_S$ dimensional [[homogeneous space]], $F=S=G/H$, as the typical fiber and $n_M = n_S$ dimensional base, $M$. This bundle may be visualized as the set of homogeneous spaces tangent to the base space. (If $n_M \neq n_S$ this is a ''generalized Cartan homogeneous space bundle''.) The structure group, $G$, of the bundle is the subset of [[homogeneous space geometry symmetries]] corresponding to the [[left action|group]] of $G$ on the space.
The Cartan homogeneous space bundle, $E_S$, is [[associated]] to the [[Ehresmann Cartan geometry]], $E_G$, and $E_S$ also serves as a base space under $E_G$. The $n_M$ coordinates, $x^a$, cover patches of the base manifold, $M$, and the $n_S$ homogeneous space coordinates, $x_s^a$, cover patches of $S$ -- the combined coordinates, $(x,x_s)$, cover patches of $E_S$. The [[reference section|Ehresmann gauge transformation]], $\si^S : M \to E_S$, of the Cartan homogeneous space bundle determines the ''points of tangency'' -- the points, $x_{s\si}(x)$, of the $S_x$ in contact with $x$. Since a homogeneous space has a natural zero point, we often use the ''zero point reference section'', $\si_0^S(x) = (x,0)$.
The Cartan homogeneous space bundle, $E_S$, is mapped into a section (a [[submanifold]]), $E'_S$, of the Ehressmann Cartan geometry, $E_G$, by the reference section of the [[Cartan H-bundle]],
$$
\si'^H(x,x_s) = (x,x_s,y_\si(x))
$$
The [[Ehresmann Cartan connection]] form [[pulls back|pullback]] along this map to give the ''Cartan homogeneous space connection form'' over $E_S$,
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{{\cal C}_S}(x,x_s) &=& \si'^{H*} \f{\cal C} = \lp \f{C^J}(x) L^I{}_J(x_s,y_\si(x)) + \si'^{H*} \f{\xi_R^I}(x_s,y_\si(x)) \rp T_I \\
&=& g^-(x_s,y_\si(x)) \, \f{C}(x) \, g(x_s,y_\si(x)) + g^-(x_s,y_\si(x)) \, \f{d} \, g(x_s,y_\si(x)) \\
&=& h^-(y_\si(x)) \Big( r^-(x_s) \, \f{C}(x) \, r(x_s) + r^-(x_s) \, \f{d} \, r(x_s) \Big) h(y_\si(x)) + h^-(y_\si(x)) \, \f{d} h(y_\si(x))
\end{eqnarray}
$$
in which the [[coset representative section|homogeneous space]], $r:S \to G$, is used to write $g(x_s,y)=r(x_s) \, h(y)$. Choosing the canonical H-bundle reference section, $h(y_{\si_0}(x)) = h(0) = 1$, this gives
$$
\f{{\cal C}_S}(x,x_s) = r^-(x_s) \, \f{C}(x) \, r(x_s) + r^-(x_s) \, \f{d} \, r(x_s)
$$
Pulling this back along the zero point reference section gives the [[Cartan connection|Cartan geometry]], $\si_0^{S*} \f{{\cal C}_S} = \f{C}$, over $M$.

Check that it matches [[reductive Lie group tangent bundle geometry]] as special case.
A ''Cartan tangent bundle geometry'' is a [[reductive Lie group tangent bundle geometry]] that has gone a little wavy. The [[frame]] 1-forms, $\f{E^J}$, over what was the Lie group manifold, $E_H \sim G$, split in adapted coordinates as
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{E^A}(x,y) &=& \f{e^B}(x) \, \lp L^h\rp^A{}_B(y) \\
\f{E^P}(x,y) &=& \f{A^Q}(x) \, \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q(y) + \f{e_H^P}(y)
\end{eqnarray}
in which $\f{e^B}$ and $\f{A^Q}$ are the [[Cartan frame|Cartan geometry]] forms and [[Cartan H-connection|Cartan geometry]] forms, $\lp L^h \rp^A{}_B = \lp H^A, h^- H_B h(y) \rp$ is the [[left-right rotator]] over $H$, and $\f{e_H^P}$ are the frame 1-forms over $H$. These frame 1-forms are components of the Ehresmann Cartan H-connection form, $\f{E^J} = \f{{\cal C}_H^J}$, over the [[Cartan H-bundle]], $E_H$, with $\f{E^A} = \f{{\cal E}_H^A}$ and $\f{E^P} = \f{{\cal A}_H^P}$. The Cartan tangent bundle, $TE_H$ IS the bundle of tangent vectors over the Cartan H-bundle, $E^H$, but from the point of view of treating the Ehresmann Cartan H-connection forms as a frame. Holding this point of view, we need to figure out what the [[Cartan tangent bundle spin connection]], $\f{W}{}^J{}_K$, is from this frame, and its curvature.
The [[tangent bundle spin connection|tangent bundle connection]] for a [[Cartan tangent bundle geometry]] is determined by insisting the [[torsion]] vanishes over $E_H$, giving [[Cartan's equation]],
$$
\ff{T^J} = 0 = \f{d} \f{E^J} + \f{W}{}^J{}_K \f{E^K}
$$
which may be solved for the ''Cartan tangent bundle spin connection'', $\f{W}{}^J{}_K$. To construct the solution, we first compute the [[exterior derivative]] of the [[frame]] 1-forms,
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{d} \f{E^A} &=& \lp \f{d} \f{e^B} \rp \lp L^h\rp^A{}_B - \f{e^B} \f{d} \lp L^h\rp^A{}_B \\
&=& \lp \f{d} \f{e^B} \rp \lp L^h\rp^A{}_B - \f{e^B} \f{e_H^P} \lp L^h \rp^D{}_B C_{DP}{}^A \\
\f{d} \f{E^P} &=& \lp \f{d} \f{A^Q} \rp \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q - \f{A^Q} \f{d} \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q + \f{d} \f{e_H^P} \\
&=& \lp \f{d} \f{A^Q} \rp \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q - \f{A^Q} \f{e_H^R} \lp L^h \rp^T{}_Q C_{TR}{}^P - \ha \f{e_H^Q} \f{e_H^R} C_{QR}{}^P
\end{eqnarray}
using the [[left-right rotator]], $\lp L^h\rp^I{}_J = \lp T^I, h^- T_J h \rp$, and the [[Maurer-Cartan equation|Maurer-Cartan form]] over $H$. Next we write down the [[orthonormal basis vectors|frame]] (satisfying $\ve{E_J} \f{E^K} = \de_J^K$),
\begin{eqnarray}
\ve{E_A}(x,y) &=& \lp L^h \rp_A{}^B \, \ve{e_B}(x) - \lp L^h \rp_A{}^C \lp \ve{e_C} \f{A^Q} \rp \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q \, \ve{e^H_P} \\
\ve{E_P}(x,y) &=& \ve{e^H_P}(y)
\end{eqnarray}
and compute the [[anholonomy|Cartan's equation]] coefficients, $f_{IJ}{}^K = \ve{E_J} \ve{E_I} \lp \f{d} \f{E^K} \rp$, getting
\begin{eqnarray}
f_{AB}{}^C &=& \ve{e_E} \ve{e_D} \lp \f{d} \f{e^F} \rp \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_A{}^D \lp L^h \rp^C{}_F

f_{AQ}{}^C &=& - C_{AQ}{}^C \\
f_{AB}{}^R &=& \ve{e_E} \ve{e_D} \lp \f{d} \f{A^Q} \rp \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_A{}^D \lp L^h \rp^R{}_Q

f_{AQ}{}^R &=& 0 \\
f_{PQ}{}^C &=& 0 \\
f_{PQ}{}^R &=& - C_{PQ}{}^R
\end{eqnarray}
in which $f^M_{DE}{}^F(x)$ is the anholonomy for $\f{e^A}$ and $\ff{F_H^Q}(x) = \f{d} \f{A^Q} + \ha \f{A^P} \f{A^R} C_{PR}{}^Q$ is the [[curvature]] for $\f{A^Q}$. Using these, the solution to Cartan's equation, $W_{IJK} = \ha \lp f_{IJK} - f_{JKI} + f_{KIJ} \rp$, gives the Cartan tangent bundle spin connection coefficients,
\begin{eqnarray}
W_{ABC} &=& \nu_{DEF} \lp L^h \rp_A{}^D \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_C{}^F - \lp L^h \rp_A{}^E \lp \ve{e_E} \f{A^Q} \rp \lp L^h \rp^R{}_Q C_{B R C} \\
W_{ABR} &=& \ha f_{ABR} = \ha F^H_{DEQ} \lp L^h \rp_A{}^D \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_R{}^Q \\
W_{AQR} &=& 0 \\
W_{PBC} &=& - C_{PBC} - \ha f_{BCP} = - C_{PBC} - \ha F^H_{DEQ} \lp L^h \rp_B{}^D \lp L^h \rp_C{}^E \lp L^h \rp_P{}^Q \\
W_{PQC} &=& 0 \\
W_{PQR} &=& - \ha C_{PQR}
\end{eqnarray}
with $\nu_{DEF}(x)$ the coefficients of the torsionless spin connection for $\f{e^A}$. From these, the ''Cartan tangent bundle spin connection'', $\f{W}{}_{JK} = \f{E^I} W_{IJK}$, is
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{W}{}_{BC} &=& \f{E^A} W_{ABC} + \f{E^P} W_{PBC} \\
&=& \f{e^D} \lp \nu_{DEF} \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_C{}^F - \lp \ve{e_D} \f{A^Q} \rp \lp L^h \rp^R{}_Q C_{B R C} \rp
+ \lp \f{A^R} \, \lp L^h \rp^P{}_R + \f{e_H^P} \rp \lp - C_{PBC} - \ha F^H_{DEQ} \lp L^h \rp_B{}^D \lp L^h \rp_C{}^E \lp L^h \rp_P{}^Q \rp \\
&=& \f{\nu}{}_{EF} \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_C{}^F
- \ha \lp \f{A^Q} + \f{e_H^P} \lp L^h \rp_P{}^Q \rp F^H_{DEQ} \lp L^h \rp_B{}^D \lp L^h \rp_C{}^E - \f{e_H^P} C_{PBC} \\
\f{W}{}_{BR} &=& \f{E^A} W_{ABR} = \ha \f{e^D} F^H_{DEQ} \lp L^h \rp_B{}^E \lp L^h \rp_R{}^Q \\
\f{W}{}_{QR} &=& \f{E^P} W_{PQR} = - \ha \lp \f{A^S} \, \lp L^h \rp^P{}_S + \f{e_H^P} \rp C_{PQR}
\end{eqnarray}
This may be used to calculate the [[Cartan tangent bundle curvature]].
''Cartan's equation'' relates the [[spin connection]] to the [[exterior derivative]] of the [[frame]] by asserting that the [[torsion]] is zero,
$$
0 = \f{d} \f{e} + \f{\om} \times \f{e}
$$
or, equivalently,
$$
0 = \f{d} \f{e^\al} + \f{\om}^\al{}_\be \f{e^\be}
$$
This equation may be solved in closed form for the spin or [[tangent bundle connection]] coefficients. To generalize, lets solve
$$
\f{\om} \times \f{e} = -\ff{f}
$$
for $\f{\om}$ in terms of the frame and an arbitrary Clifford vector valued 2-form, $\ff{f}$. In components, using the [[index bracket]], this is
$$
\om_{\lb i \rd}{}^{\al \be} \lp e_{\ld j \rb} \rp_\be = -\ha f_{ij}{}^\al
$$
Using the frame to change from coordinate to Clifford indices, and using antisymmetry of the last two spin connection coefficient indices, this may be expressed simply as
$$
\om_{\lb \be \ga \rb \al} = \ha f_{\be \ga \al}
$$
By once again juggling spin connection indices, we see from this that
$$
\om_{\lp \be \ga \rp \al} = \om_{\lb \al \be \rb \ga} + \om_{\lb \al \ga \rb \be} = f_{\al \lp \be \ga \rp}
$$
Adding these last two expressions gives the explicit solution for the spin connection coefficients:
$$
\om_{\al \be \ga} = \om_{\lb \al \be \rb \ga} + \om_{\lp \al \be \rp \ga} = \ha \lp f_{\al \be \ga} - f_{\be \ga \al} + f_{\ga \al \be} \rp
$$
Putting these indices in their more familiar positions is done using the frame and [[Minkowski metric]]: $\om_{i}{}^{\de \ep} = \lp e_i \rp^\al \et^{\de \be} \et^{\ep \ga} \om_{\al \be \ga}$. Cartan's equation is solved by simply plugging $\ff{f}=\f{d} \f{e}$ into the above equation -- in coefficients,
$$
f_{\al \be \ga} = \lp e_\al \rp^i \lp e_\be \rp^j \et_{\ga \de} \lp \pa_i \lp e_j \rp^\de - \pa_j \lp e_i \rp^\de \rp
= \ve{e_\be} \ve{e_\al} \lp \f{d} \f{e}{}_\ga \rp
$$
Note that this last tensor, the ''anholonomy'', may also be expressed using the [[Lie bracket|Lie derivative]] of the orthonormal basis vectors,
$$
\lb \ve{e_\al} , \ve{e_\be} \rb_L = 2 \lb \lp e_{\lb \al \rd} \rp^j \pa_j \lp e_{\ld \be \rb} \rp^i \rb \ve{\pa_i}
= - 2 \lb \lp e_{\lb \al \rd} \rp^j \lp e_{\ld \be \rb} \rp^k \lp e_\ga \rp^i \pa_j \lp e_k \rp^\ga \rb \ve{\pa_i}
= - f_{\al \be}{}^\ga \ve{e_\ga}
$$
It is possible to express the solution to Cartan's equation in a particularly pretty, index free way using [[Clifform algebra]]:
$$
\f{\om} = - \ve{e} \times \ff{f} + \fr{1}{4} \lp \ve{e} \times \ve{e} \rp \lp \f{e} \cdot \ff{f} \rp
$$
(A cute, if not particularly useful expression.)
[[Lie algebra]]

related to [[Laplacian]]
For a $2 \times 2$ square [[matrix|linear operator]] or $2$ or $3$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]] element, $A$, using the [[trace]] and products gives
$$
0 = A^2 - \li A \ri A + \ha \lp \li A \ri^2 - \li A^2 \ri \rp
$$
For a $3 \times 3$ square matrix, $A$,
$$
0 = A^3 - \li A \ri A^2 + \ha \lp \li A \ri^2 - \li A^2 \ri \rp A - \fr{1}{6} \lp \li A \ri^3 - 3 \li A^2 \ri \li A \ri + 2 \li A^3 \ri \rp
$$
This generalizes to formula for larger matrices,

A ''Chern-Simons form'', $\nf{\om_p}$, is a grade $p$ [[differential form]] defined (for odd $p$) to satisfy
$$
\f{d} \nf{\om_p} = Tr\lp \ff{F}^{\fr{p+1}{2}} \rp
$$
in which $\ff{F}=\f{d} \f{A} + \f{A} \f{A}$ is the [[curvature]] for some [[principal bundle]] [[connection]], $\f{A}$. The first few Chern-Simons forms are
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\om_1} &=& Tr\lp \f{A} \rp \\
\nf{\om_3} &=& Tr\lp \ff{F} \f{A} - \fr{1}{3} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \rp \\
\nf{\om_5} &=& Tr\lp \ff{F} \ff{F} \f{A} - \fr{1}{2} \ff{F} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} + \fr{1}{10} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \rp \\
\nf{\om_7} &=& Tr\lp \ff{F} \ff{F} \ff{F} \f{A} + ? \ff{F} \ff{F} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} + ? \ff{F} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} + ? \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \f{A} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
The [[integral|integration]] of a Chern-Simons p-form over a $p$ dimensional [[manifold]] is a homotopy invariant called the ''Chern number'',
$$
c_p = \int \nf{\om_p}
$$
corresponding to the topology of the manifold. For a $(p+1)$ dimensional manifold with a boundary,
$$
\int Tr\lp \ff{F}^{\fr{p+1}{2}} \rp = \int \f{d} \nf{\om_p} = \int_\pa \nf{\om_p} = c_p
$$
Also of potential interest is the relationship to the ''Pfaffian'',
$$
\ff{F}^{\fr{p+1}{2}} = Pf\lp F \rp \nf{d^{p+1}x}
$$
where $Pf(F) = \sqrt{\ll F \rl}$
ref:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern-Simons_form
Using the alternative notation for the [[covariant derivative]] employing the [[tangent bundle connection]] and [[cotangent bundle connection]], the ''covariant derivative'' of a suitably indexed tensor is written as
$$
D_{i}T^{k}{}_{j}=\partial_{i}T^{k}{}_{j}+\Gamma^{k}{}_{im}T^{m}{}_{j}-\Gamma^{m}{}_{ij}T^{k}{}_{m}
$$
with the ''Christoffel symbols'', $\Ga^k{}_{ij}$, defined as tangent bundle connection coefficients,
$$
\na_i \ve{\pa_j} = \Ga^k{}_{ij} \ve{\pa_k}
$$
The Christoffel symbols are determined from the assumptions that the [[torsion]] vanishes,
$$
\Ga^k{}_{\lb ij \rb} = 0
$$
and that the covariant derivative is ''[[metric]] compatible'',
$$
0 = D_i g_{jk} = \pa_i g_{jk} - \Gamma^{m}{}_{ij} g_{mk} - \Gamma^{m}{}_{ik} g_{jm}
$$
It is then computed explicitly in terms of the metric, metric inverse, and its partial derivatives as
$$
\Ga^k{}_{ij} = \ha g^{km} \lp \pa_j g_{mi} + \pa_i g_{jm} - \pa_m g_{ij} \rp
$$
Computing the Christoffel symbols from vanishing torsion and metric compatibility is equivalent to calculating the [[spin connection]] from [[Cartan's equation]].
The Christoffel symbols (with torsion) may alternatively be computed from the [[tangent bundle spin connection|tangent bundle connection]], using the expression for the covariant derivative of the [[orthonormal basis vectors|frame]],
$$
\na_i \ve{e_\al} = \lp \pa_i \lp e_\al \rp^j + \lp e_\al \rp^k \Ga^j{}_{ik} \rp \ve{\pa_j} = w_{i}{}^\be{}_\al \ve{e_\be}
= w_{i}{}^\be{}_\al \lp e_\be \rp^j \ve{\pa_j}
$$
to get
$$
\Ga^j{}_{ik} = \lp e_k \rp^\al \lp w_{i}{}^\be{}_\al \lp e_\be \rp^j - \pa_i \lp e_\al \rp^j \rp = \lp e_\be \rp^j \lp w_{i}{}^\be{}_\al \lp e_k \rp^\al + \pa_i \lp e_k \rp^\be \rp
$$
This last expression may be used to easily determine how the Christoffel symbols, which do not constitute a tensor, transform under a [[coordinate change]] to
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga^n{}_{ml} &=& \fr{\pa x^k}{\pa y^l} \lp e_k \rp^\al \fr{\pa x^i}{\pa y^m} \lp w_{i}{}^\be{}_\al \lp e_\be \rp^j \fr{\pa y^n}{\pa x^j} - \pa_i \lp \lp e_\al \rp^j \fr{\pa y^n}{\pa x^j} \rp \rp \\
&=& \fr{\pa y^n}{\pa x^j} \fr{\pa x^i}{\pa y^m} \fr{\pa x^k}{\pa y^l} \Ga^j{}_{ik} - \fr{\pa x^i}{\pa y^m} \fr{\pa x^j}{\pa y^l} \fr{\pa^2 y^n}{\pa x^i \pa x^j}
\end{eqnarray}
From the last term we see that it's possible to choose a set of coordinates in which the Christoffel symbols vanish if and only if the torsion vanishes, $\Ga^k{}_{\lb ij \rb} = 0$. It is sometimes argued, along the lines of the [[equivalence principle|frame]], that such a choice should be possible and hence torsion should vanish.
Using the Christoffel symbols is quite old fashioned, but sometimes practical. Things may be fancied up a bit by defining the ''Christoffel 1-form''s, $\f{\Ga^k{}_j} = \f{dx^i} \Ga^k{}_{ij}$, and using the [[vector-form algebra]] and [[partial derivative]] to get $\f{\na} \ve{\pa_j} = \f{\Ga^k{}_j} \ve{\pa_k}$ and
$$
\f{\na} \ve{e_\al} = \f{\na} \lp e_\al \rp^k \ve{\pa_k} = \f{\pa} \ve{e_\al} + \lp e_\al \rp^k \f{\Ga^j{}_k} \ve{\pa_j} = \f{\om^\be{}_\al} \ve{e_\be}
$$

The $n=6$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], ''Cl(0,6)'', is built from 6 negative-norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\Ga_\al$.
This algebra has many [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $8\times8$ matrices. One particularly nice real representation, built using the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Pauli matrices]], is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_2 &=& i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_3 &=& i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \\
\Ga_4 &=& i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_5 &=& i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_6 &=& i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_2
\end{eqnarray}
Another nice real representation, adapted to $so(6)=su(4)$, is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_2 &=& i \, \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \\
\Ga_3 &=& i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_4 &=& i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_3 \\
\Ga_5 &=& i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_6 &=& i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_3
\end{eqnarray}
A choice of three bivectors in a [[Cartan subalgra|Lie algebra structure]] is (up to signs)
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_{12} &=& i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_{34} &=& i \, \si_0 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_{56} &=& i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \\
\end{eqnarray}
$$
Multiplying these together gives (up to a sign)
$$
J = \Ga_{123456} = i \, \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2
$$
This Clifford algebra element provides the [[complex structure]] when acting on an 8-[[spinor]] of spin(0,6) via the Clifford algebra [[antisymmetric bracket]], and commutes with the three bivectors chosen for the Cartan subalgebra, which allows us to identify Cl(0,6) bivectors with elements of su(4).
A real, chiral representation of $Cl(0,8)$ is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_2 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_3 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_4 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_5 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \\
\Ga_6 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_7 &=& i \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_8 &=& i \si_2 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0
\end{eqnarray}
There is also a nice [[Clifford division algebra representation]] of $Cl(0,8)$.
The $n=4$ dimensional ''[[spacetime]] [[Clifford algebra]]'', ''Cl(1,3)'', is built from 4 anti-commuting, [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga_\mu$, with positive time [[Minkowski norm|Minkowski metric]],
$$
\ga_\mu \cdot \ga_\nu = \ha \lp \ga_\mu \ga_\nu + \ga_\nu \ga_\mu \rp = \et_{\mu \nu}
$$
The full algebra has $2^4 = 16$ [[Clifford basis elements]],
| !Element(s) | !Grade | !Dimensions |!Names |
| $1$ | $0$ | $1$ |scalar |
| $\ga_\mu$ | $1$ | $4$ |vector |
| $\ga_{\mu \nu}$ | $2$ | $6$ |[[bivector|Cl(1,3) bivector]] |
| $\ga_{\mu \nu \ka } = \fr{1}{3!} \ep_{\mu \nu \ka \la} \ga^\la \ga $ | $3$ | $4$ |trivector |
| $\ga_{\mu \nu \ka \la} = \ep_{\mu \nu \ka \la} \ga$ | 4 | $1$ |4-vector, pseudoscalar |
The spacetime [[pseudoscalar]], $\ga = \ga_0 \ga_1 \ga_2 \ga_3$, satisfies $\ga \ga = -1$ and anti-commutes with odd-graded elements. This algebra has several nice [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $4\times4$ matrices -- the [[Dirac matrices]].
The 6 bivector [[Clifford basis elements]] of the spacetime Clifford algebra, [[Cl(1,3)]], may be represented by multiplying the 4 basis vectors, in the [[Weyl representation|Dirac matrices]], to get:
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_{01} &=& \;\;\;\; \si_3 \otimes \si_1 \\
\ga_{02} &=& \;\;\;\; \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \\
\ga_{03} &=& \;\;\;\; \si_3 \otimes \si_3 \\
\ga_{12} &=& -i \, \si_0 \otimes \si_3 \\
\ga_{13} &=& +i \, \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\
\ga_{23} &=& -i \, \si_0 \otimes \si_1
\end{eqnarray}
Any ''Cl(1,3) bivector'' may thus be represented as
\begin{eqnarray}
B &=& \ha B^{\mu \nu} \ga_{\mu \nu} =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
B_L & 0 \\
0 & B_R
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
B^{0 \va} \si_\va - i \ha B^{\va \ze} \ep_{\va \ze \ta} \si_\ta & 0 \\
0 & - B^{0 \va} \si_\va - i \ha B^{\va \ze} \ep_{\va \ze \ta} \si_\ta
\end{array} \rb \\
&=&
\lb \begin{array}{cccc}
B^{03}- i B^{12} & B^{01}+B^{13}-i B^{02}- i B^{23} & 0 & 0 \\
B^{01}- B^{13}+i B^{02}-i B^{23} & -B^{03}+i B^{12} & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -B^{03}- i B^{12} & -B^{01}+B^{13}+i B^{02}- i B^{23} \\
0 & 0 & -B^{01}- B^{13}-i B^{02}-i B^{23} & B^{03}+i B^{12}
\end{array} \rb
\end{eqnarray}
in which
$$
B_{L/R} = B_{L/R}^\va \si_\va = \pm B_{\mathbb{R}}^\va \si_\va - i B_{\mathbb{I}}^\va \si_\va
$$
are the ''left and right [[chiral]] bivector parts'', projected out by the [[left/right chirality projector]], and $\ep_{\va \ze \ta}$ is the three dimensional [[permutation symbol]]. These $2\times2$ matrices satisfy $B_L^\da = - B_R$, using the [[Hermitian]] conjugate, so their complex coefficients are related by $B_L^{\va*}=-B_R^\va$. Note that a bivector is completely determined by one of its chiral parts. The bivectors of [[Cl(3,1)]] have the same expression, with signs reversed since the expressions of all vectors pick up $i$'s. These $4 \times 4$ and $2 \times 2$ matrices are [[representation]]s of the [[spin(1,3)]] [[Lorentz algebra]].
The adjoint of a Cl(1,3) bivector is
$$
B^\da = B^{0 \ep} \ga^\da_{0 \ep} + \ha B^{\ep \ze} \ga^\da_{\ep \ze}
= B^{0 \ep} \ga_{0 \ep} - \ha B^{\ep \ze} \ga_{\ep \ze}
= - \ga^0 B \ga_0
$$
A Cl(1,3) bivector can be exponentiated to give a [[Clifford rotation]] operator, $U = e^{\ha B}$. It is not [[unitary]], but
$$
U^- = e^{- \ha B} = \ga_0 U^\da \ga^0
$$
The $n=14$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], ''Cl(11,3)'', is built from 11 positive-norm and 3 negative-norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\Ga_\al$.
This algebra has many [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $8\times8$ matrices. One particularly nice, [[chiral]], real representation, related to the [[spin(11,3) GraviGUT fermions]], built using the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Pauli matrices]], is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& \; \; \, i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_2 &=& - i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_3 &=& \; \; \, i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_4 &=& \;\;\;\; \, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\

A nice choice of 7 bivectors in a [[Cartan subalgebra|Lie algebra structure]] of ''spin(11,3)'' is
Multiplying these together gives the psuedoscalar,
The $n=16$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], $Cl(16,0)$, is built from 16 anti-commuting, positive norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga^{\lp16\rp}_\al$. The full algebra has $2^{16} = 65,536$ [[Clifford basis elements]]. This algebra has many [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $256\times256$ matrices. One particularly nice representation, built using the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Cl(8)]] elements, is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_\al &=& \Ga_\al \otimes 1 \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\lp\al+8\rp} &=& \Ga \otimes \Ga_\al
\end{eqnarray}
with $1 \le \al \le 8$. (Note that this rep is not [[chiral]].) These $16$ ''Cl(16) basis vectors'' may be multiplied to get the $120$ ''Cl(16) basis bivectors'',
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al \be} &=& \Ga_{\al \be} \otimes 1 \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\lp\al+8\rp \lp\be+8\rp} &=& 1 \otimes \Ga_{\al \be} \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al \lp\be+8\rp} = -\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\lp\be+8\rp \al} &=& \lp \Ga_\al \Ga \rp \otimes \Ga_{\be}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[pseudoscalar]] in this rep, $\ga^{\lp16\rp} = \Ga \otimes \Ga$, satisfies $\ga^{\lp16\rp} \ga^{\lp16\rp} = 1$ and anti-commutes with odd-graded elements.
A chiral representation for $Cl(16)$ may be built by starting with a chiral [[Cl(8)]] rep and picking out one of the vectors, such as $\Ga_8$, and using it to build the ''chiral Cl(16) basis vectors'':
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_\al &=& \Ga_\al \otimes 1 \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_8 &=& \Ga_8 \otimes \Ga \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\lp\al+8\rp} &=& \Ga_8 \otimes \Ga_\al \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{(16)} &=& \Ga_8 \otimes \Ga_8
\end{eqnarray}
with $1 \le \al \le 7$. The pseudoscalar in this rep is
$$
\ga^{\lp16\rp} = ( \Ga \otimes \Ga ) ( 1 \otimes \Ga ) = \Ga \otimes 1
$$
The (1st level) chirality projector is $P_{\pm} = \ha \lp 1 \mp \ga^{\lp16\rp} \rp = \ha \lp 1 \mp \Ga \rp \otimes 1$. The basis vectors may be used to build the ''chiral Cl(16) basis bivectors'',
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al \be} &=& \Ga_{\al \be} \otimes 1 \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al 8} &=& \Ga_{\al 8} \otimes \Ga \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al \lp\be+8\rp} &=& \Ga_{\al 8} \otimes \Ga_\be \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al (16)} &=& \Ga_{\al 8} \otimes \Ga_8 \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\lp\al+8\rp \lp\be+8\rp} &=& 1 \otimes \Ga_{\al \be} \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\lp\al+8\rp (16)} &=& 1 \otimes \Ga_{\al 8} \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{8 \lp\be+8\rp} &=& 1 \otimes \Ga \Ga_\be \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{8 (16)} &=& 1 \otimes \Ga \Ga_8
\end{eqnarray}
A complex, [[chiral]] representation for the [[Clifford algebra]] with 2 positive and 4 negative norm basis vectors, ''Cl(2,4)'', may be built by starting with the chiral representation of the [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Dirac matrices]] and using [[Clifford representation doubling]],
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga'_\mu &=& \;\;\, \, \si_1 \otimes \ga_\mu \\
\ga'_{5} &=& - \, \si_1 \otimes \ga \\
\ga'_{6} &=& \;\;\, \, \si_2 \otimes 1 \\
\end{eqnarray}
(We labeled the added vectors "$5$" and "$6$" because "$4$" is sometimes used for the time vector instead of "$0$".) So we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga'_4 = \ga'_0 &=& \;\;\; \; \, \si_1 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga'_\va &=& - i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_\va \\
\ga'_5 &=& \;\;\, i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga'_6 &=& \;\;\;\; \,\si_2 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \\
\end{eqnarray}
A $Cl(2,4)$ vector may thus be written as
\begin{eqnarray}
v' &=& v^\al \ga'_\al = \lb \begin{array}{cc} 0 & v'_- \\ v'_+ & 0 \end{array} \rb
= \lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v^\mu \ga_\mu - v^5 \ga - i \, v^6 \\
v^\mu \ga_\mu - v^5 \ga + i \, v^6 & 0 \\
\end{array} \rb \\
& =&
\lb \begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & i \, v_- & v_L \\
0 & 0 & v_R & - i \, v_+ \\
i \, v_+ & v_L & 0 & 0 \\
v_R & - i \, v_- & 0 & 0 \\
\end{array} \rb
\end{eqnarray}
with ''chiral Cl(2,4) vector''s defined as
$$
v'_\pm = v^\mu \ga_\mu - v^5 \ga \pm i \, v^6 = v + i \, v_\pm P_L - i \, v_\mp P_R
$$
using the [[left/right chirality projector]]s, with $v_\pm = v^5 \pm v^6$ defined for fun (and, as scalars, not likely to be confused with the chiral vectors). The $Cl(2,4)$ [[pseudoscalar]] is
$$
\ga' = \ga'_0 \ga'_1 \ga'_2 \ga'_3 \ga'_5 \ga'_6 = i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0
$$
The Clifford vectors satisfy $\ga'_\al{}^* = \ga'_2 \ga'_\al \ga'_2$ and $\ga'^\da_\al = \ga'_{06} \ga'_\al \ga'_{06}$, with [[spinor metric|conjugate spinor]]
$$
\ga'_{06} = i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 = i \, \si_3 \otimes \ga_0
$$
The spinor metric provides a [[Hermitian form]] on the eight complex dimensional fundamental [[representation space]] of $Cl(2,4)$, with signature $(4,4)$.
Alternatively, there is a [[Clifford compound division algebra representation of Cl(2,4)]].
The three dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], Cl(3,0), is generated by three [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\si_\ep$. These basis vectors have a [[matrix representation|Clifford matrix representation]] as the three [[Pauli matrices]], $\si_\ep$. The eight [[Clifford basis elements]] are formed by all possible products of these Clifford basis vectors. The complete multiplication table for the algebra, calculated from the general [[Clifford basis identities]], is (row header times column header equals entry):
| | !$1$ | !$\si_1$ | !$\si_2$ | !$\si_3$ | !$\si_{12}$ | !$\si_{13}$ | !$\si_{23}$ | !$\si$ |

The blue square shows the bivector subalgebra. This bivector subalgebra is the [[three dimensional special unitary group Lie algebra|su(2)]], with an identification giving the three [[su(2)]] generators,
$$
\begin{array}{ccc}
T_1 = i \sigma_{1} = \si_{23}
&
T_2 = - i \sigma_{2} = \si_{13}
&
T_3 = i \sigma_{3} = \si_{12}
\end{array}
$$
which form a closed subalgebra under the [[commutator]]. The green entries illustrate the two ways the bivector basis elements can be represented -- as the product of vectors, or as the product of vector and pseudoscalar. The [[pseudoscalar]], $\si=\si_1 \si_2 \si_3$, squares to $-1$ and has the matrix representation $\si = i$.
The ''three dimensional Clifford algebra of negative signature'', $Cl(0,3)$, is obtained by using $\si'_\va = i \si_\va$ as the basis vectors.
The $n=4$ dimensional ''[[spacetime]] [[Clifford algebra]]'', Cl(3,1), is built from 4 anti-commuting, [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga_\mu$, with negative time [[Minkowski norm|Minkowski metric]],
$$
\ga_\mu \cdot \ga_\nu = \ha \lp \ga_\mu \ga_\nu + \ga_\nu \ga_\mu \rp = \et_{\mu \nu}
$$
The full algebra has $2^4 = 16$ [[Clifford basis elements]],
| !Element(s) | !Grade | !Dimensions |!Names |
| $1$ | $0$ | $1$ |scalar |
| $\ga_\mu$ | $1$ | $4$ |vector |
| $\ga_{\mu \nu}$ | $2$ | $6$ |bivector |

| $\ga_{\mu \nu \ka \la} = \ep_{\mu \nu \ka \la} \ga$ | 4 | $1$ |4-vector, pseudoscalar |
The ''spacetime [[pseudoscalar]]'', $\ga = \ga_0 \ga_1 \ga_2 \ga_3$, satisfies $\ga \ga = -1$ and anti-commutes with odd-graded elements. This algebra has several nice [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $4\times4$ matrices -- the [[Dirac matrices]].
The $n=6$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], ''Cl(3,3)'', is built from 3 positive norm and 3 negative norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\Ga_\al$.
This algebra has many [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $8\times8$ matrices. One particularly nice, [[chiral]], real representation, built using the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Pauli matrices]], is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_2 &=& i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_3 &=& i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_4 &=& \p{i \,} \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_5 &=& \p{i \,} \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \\
\Ga_6 &=& \p{i \,} \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1
\end{eqnarray}
The first four of these come from realifying the Weyl representation of the [[Dirac matrices]].
Similar to [[Cl(1,3)]], the $n=4$ dimensional ''Euclidean spacetime [[Clifford algebra]]'', ''Cl(4)'', is built from 4 anti-commuting, [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga_\mu$, with [[metric]],
$$
\ga_\mu \cdot \ga_\nu = \ha \lp \ga_\mu \ga_\nu + \ga_\nu \ga_\mu \rp = \de_{\mu \nu}
$$
The ([[chiral]]) ''Weylish representation'' of the [[Dirac matrices]] of Cl(4), using [[Pauli matrices]], is:
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_0 &=& \;\;\, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga_1 &=& - \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \\
\ga_2 &=& - \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \\
\ga_3 &=& - \si_2 \otimes \si_3
\end{eqnarray}
giving a complex rep for ''Cl(4) vectors'',
\begin{eqnarray}
v &=& v^\mu \ga_\mu =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v_L \\
v_R & 0
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v^0 \si_0 + v^\va i \si_\va \\
v^0 \si_0 - v^\va i \si_\va & 0
\end{array} \rb
\\
&=&
\lb \begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & v^0+i v^3 & i v^1+ v^2 \\
0 & 0 & i v^1 - v^2 & v^0 - i v^3 \\
v^0-i v^3 & -i v^1- v^2 & 0 & 0 \\
-i v^1+v^2 & v^0+i v^3 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \rb
\end{eqnarray}
This is related to the Weyl representation by $\ga_\va \to -i \ga_\va$. The resulting ''Euclidean spacetime [[pseudoscalar]]'' is $\ga = \si_3 \otimes 1$, satisfying $\ga \ga = 1$ and anti-commuting with odd-graded elements.
The $v_{L/R}$ are ''left and right chiral Euclidean vector'' parts -- $2\times2$ complex matrices projected out by the [[left/right chirality projector]]. Note that a vector is completely determined by one of its chiral parts, $v_R = \bar{v}_L = v_L^\da$. Also note the identification between a right chiral vector and a [[quaternion]], $v_R = v^0 \si_0 - v^\va i \si_\va = v^a e_a$.
A [[spinor]] of ''spin(4)'' (acted on by Cl(4) bivectors), has left and right [[chiral]] ''Weylish spinor'' parts, $\ps_{L/R}$.
The $n=8$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], ''Cl(4,4)'', is built from 4 positive norm and 4 negative norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\Ga'_\al$. It is the same as [[Cl(8)]] except for the signature.
It has nice, real, [[chiral]] representation, from [[realify]]ing the representation of [[Cl(2,4)]] and adding two vectors to match the realified [[complex structure]],

The additional basis vectors, $\Ga'_7$ and $\Ga'_8$, combine to give the [[complex structure]], $\Ga'_{78} = \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes J$, with $J = - i \si_2$ a [[sl(2)]] generator representative, and $K$ the complex conjugation operator. Note that $\Ga'_2$ and $\Ga'_5$ also have $J$'s in them, replacing the $i$'s. There is a [[similarity transformation for Cl(4,4)]] relating this representation to the [[split-octonionic representation of Cl(4,4)]].
The [[chiral]] parts of a $Cl(4,4)$ vector are a realified $Cl(2,4)$ vector,

$$
using the [[left/right chirality projector]]s, with, $v_\pm = v^5 \pm v^6$, plus a new part, $v_c = v^7 J + v^8$. The $Cl(4,4)$ bivectors generate [[spin(4,4)]].
The $n=8$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], ''Cl(5,3)'', is built from 5 positive norm and 3 negative norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\Ga_\al$. It is the same as [[Cl(8)]] except for the signature.
This algebra has many [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $16\times16$ matrices. One particularly nice, [[chiral]], complex representation, built using the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Pauli matrices]], is

or this can be mixed up a bit to be better adapted to spacetime and the weak interaction, with
\begin{eqnarray}

Note that the maximal Cartan subalgebras are all noncompact. The pseudoscalar is

The $n=8$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]], $Cl(8,0)$, is built from 8 anti-commuting, positive norm [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\Ga_\al$. The full algebra has $2^8 = 256$ [[Clifford basis elements]],
| !Element(s) | !Grade | !Dimensions |!Names |
| $1$ | $0$ | $1$ |scalar |
| $\Ga_\al$ | $1$ | $8$ |vector |

| $\Ga_{\al \dots \be} = \ep_{\al \dots \be} \Ga$ | $8$ | $1$ |8-vector, psuedoscalar |
The [[pseudoscalar]], $\Ga$, satisfies $\Ga \Ga = 1$ and anti-commutes with odd-graded elements. This algebra has many [[Clifford matrix representation]]s in real or complex $16\times16$ matrices. One particularly nice, [[chiral]], complex representation, built using the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Pauli matrices]], is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_2 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\

\Ga_5 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_6 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_7 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_0 = \Ga_8 &=& \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0
\end{eqnarray}
giving $\Ga = \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0$. These may all be expressed in a $16\times16$ matrix (using $2\times2$ sub-matrices) as
\begin{eqnarray}
& & \Ga_\pi + z \Ga_4 + a \Ga_5 + b \Ga_6 + c \Ga_7 + \Ga_8 = \\

-b+ia & -z-ic & & 1-i\si^p_\pi & & & &
\end{array}
\rb
\end{eqnarray}
A nice chiral, real representation of $Cl(8,0)$ is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\
\Ga_2 &=& \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\

\Ga_8 &=& \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0
\end{eqnarray}
And another one, matched to [[su(3)]], is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_1 &=& \;\;\; \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \\
\Ga_2 &=& -\si_2 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\

\Ga_8 &=& -\si_2 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_3
\end{eqnarray}
There's also an [[octonionic representation of Cl(8)]].
The ''chirality operator for Cl(8)'' is $P^{\lp8\rp}_\pm = \ha \lp 1 \pm \Ga \rp$.
The 28 bivector [[Clifford basis elements]] of [[Cl(8,0)|Cl(8)]] may be represented by multiplying the 8 basis vectors, in the complex rep, to get:
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_{01} &=& i \si_3 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga_{02} &=& i \si_3 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_2 \\

\Ga_{67} &=& i \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_0
\end{eqnarray}
A real, chiral representation for $Cl(8,8)$ may be built by starting with a real, chiral [[Cl(0,8)]] rep and picking out one of the vectors, such as $\Ga_8$, and using it to build the ''real, chiral Cl(8,8) basis vectors'':
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_\al \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \Ga_\al \otimes 1 \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_8 \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \Ga_8 \otimes \Ga \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{\al+8} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \Ga_8 \otimes \Ga_\al \\
\ga^{\lp16\rp}_{16} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \Ga_8 \otimes \Ga_8
\end{array}
$$
with $1 \le \al \le 7$. Or we can start with $\Ga_\al$ in [[Cl(7,7)]] and add
$$
\begin{array}{rcrl}
\ga_\al \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \!\!&\!\! \si_1 \otimes \Ga_\al \\
\ga_{15} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \!\!&\!\! \si_1 \otimes \Ga \\
\ga_{16} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! -i \!\!&\!\! \si_2 \otimes 1 \\
\end{array}
$$
The ''Clifford adjoint'' transformation of a [[Clifford element]], $A$, by a [[Clifford group]] element, $U$, is
\[ A' = U A \, U^- \]
The ''Clifford inner [[automorphism]]'', a.k.a. //''similarity transformation''//, is the Clifford adjoint transformation of the [[Clifford basis vectors]],
\[ \ga'_\al = U \ga_\al U^- \]
This subsequently produces the Clifford adjoint transformation of all Clifford elements built from these basis vectors, since
$$
\ga'_{\al \dots \be} = \ga'_\al \dots \ga'_\be = U \ga_\al U^- \dots U \ga_\be U^- = U \ga_{\al \dots \be} U^-
$$
It is an automorphism because it is a map, specified by $U \in Cl^*$, from the [[Clifford algebra]] into itself.
The adjoint transformation does not necessarily preserve the [[grade|Clifford grade]] of elements. It does, however, preserve scalars, $\li A' B' \ri = \li UA \, U^- UB \, U^- \ri = \li A B \, \ri$. The [[fundamental Clifford identity|Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga_\al \cdot \ga_\be = \et_{\al \be}$, is preserved by the Clifford automorphism, $\ga'_\al \cdot \ga'_\be = \et_{\al \be}$, preserving the structure of the Clifford algebra and the decomposition of [[Clifford element]]s even though the transformed basis "vectors", $\ga'_\al$, may no longer be grade 1 with respect to the old basis.
For Clifford group elements near the identity, $U \simeq 1 + \ha C$, the Clifford adjoint is approximately
\[ A' = U A \, U^- \simeq \lp 1 + \ha C \rp A \lp 1 - \ha C \rp \simeq A + C \times A \]
with the "small" Clifford element, $C$, acting via the [[cross product|antisymmetric bracket]].
An "$n$ dimensional" ''Clifford algebra'', $Cl(p,q)$, is a $2^n$ dimensional algebra of [[Clifford element]]s consisting of coefficients multiplying [[Clifford basis elements]] constructed from $p$ positive norm and $q$ negative norm ($n=p+q$) [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga_\al$. The Clifford algebra product of any two Clifford elements, equivalent to the [[matrix product in a suitable representation|Clifford matrix representation]], is non-commutative and decomposes into ''symmetric product'' (''//dot product//'') and [[antisymmetric product|antisymmetric bracket]] (''//cross product//'') parts,
\begin{eqnarray}
AB &=& A \cdot B + A \times B\\
A \cdot B &=& \ha \lp AB+BA \rp\\
A \times B &=& \ha \lp AB-BA \rp
\end{eqnarray}
The product is associative and distributive,
\begin{eqnarray}
A \lp B C \rp = \lp A B \rp C\\
A \lp B + C \rp = A B + A C
\end{eqnarray}
And, just as for matrices, [[almost all elements|Clifford group]] have an [[inverse]], $AA^-=1$.
A Clifford algebra is a graded ''geometric algebra'' in that the elements of [[Clifford grade]] $0,1,2,3,\dots$ may be considered as scalars, vectors, areas, volumes, ... and the Clifford product as operations between them. For example, the product of two vectors is a scalar (their dot product) plus an area (their cross product). The antisymmetric product of three vectors is a 3-vector, or volume. The product and its decomposition are completely described by the [[Clifford basis identities]].
Any two [[Clifford basis elements]] are orthogonal under the [[scalar part]] operator. Taking the scalar part of two multiplied basis elements of [[grade|Clifford grade]] $r$ gives the orthogonality relation,
\[ \li \ga_{\al \dots \be} \ga^{\ga \dots \de} \ri = r! \de^\ga_{\lb \be \rd} \dots \de^\de_{\ld \al \rb} \]
in which the basis element indices have been raised with the [[Minkowski metric]]. The scalar part of any two multiplied basis elements of unequal grade is 0.
The orthogonality relation may be used to determine the ''scalar product'' of any two multivectors. For example, between a multivector, $A$, and bivector, $B$, the scalar product is
\[ \li A B \ri = \fr{1}{4} A^{\al \be} B_{\ga \de} \li \ga_{\al \be} \ga^{\ga \de} \ri = \fr{1}{4} A^{\al \be} B_{\ga \de} 2 \de^\ga_{\lb \be \rd} \de^\de_{\ld \al \rb} = \ha A^{\al \be} B_{\be \al} \]
These may be combined to express any [[Clifford element]] using a Clifford basis expansion,
$$
A = \li A \ri + \li A \ga^\al \ri \ga_\al + \fr{1}{2} \li A \ga^{\al \be} \ri \ga_{\al \be}
+ \fr{1}{3!} \li A \ga^{\al \be \ga} \ri \ga_{\al \be \ga}
+ ...
+ \fr{1}{n!} \li A \ga^{\al \be ... \de} \ri \ga_{\al \be ... \de}
$$
The scalar part operator, and the orthogonality relations, are equivalent to the matrix [[trace]] and [[Lie algebra]] generator orthogonality through the [[Killing form]].
The $2^n$ ''Clifford basis elements'' are formed by all possible products of the $n$ [[Clifford basis vectors]]. Because of the [[fundamental Clifford identity|Clifford basis vectors]], basis elements are antisymmetric under the exchange of indices, like [[coordinate basis forms]], and may be written via the [[antisymmetric bracket]]. Each basis element has a [[grade|Clifford grade]], $q$, corresponding to the number of constituent basis vectors, and a multiplicity, ${n \choose q} = \fr{n!}{q!(n-q)!}$, equal to the number of their ordered combinations,
| !Element(s) | !Grade | !Multiplicity |!Names |
| $1$ | $0$ | ${n \choose 0} = 1$ |scalar, real number |
| $\ga_\al$ | $1$ | ${n \choose 1} = n$ |vector, [[Clifford basis vectors]]|
| $\ga_{\al \be} = \ga_{\lb \al \be \rb} = \ga_\al \ga_\be = \lb \ga_\al,\ga_\be \rb_A$ | 2 | ${n \choose 2} = \ha n (n-1)$ |bivector, 2-vector |
| $\ga_{\al \be \ga} = \ga_{\lb \al \be \ga \rb} = \ga_\al \ga_\be \ga_\ga = \lb \ga_\al,\ga_\be,\ga_\ga \rb_A$ | 3 | ${n \choose 3} = \fr{1}{3!} n (n-1)(n-2)$ |trivector, 3-vector |
| $\vdots$ | $\vdots$ | $\vdots$ |$\vdots$ |
| $\ga_{\al \dots \be} = \ep_{\al \dots \be} \ga$ | $n$ | ${n \choose n} = 1$ |n-vector |
Each of these $\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} =2^n$ Clifford basis elements is a [[Lie algebra]] generator, with structure coefficients corresponding to [[Clifford basis identities]]. The Clifford basis elements also satisfy [[Clifford basis element orthogonality]].
Using [[Clifford dual]]ity, it is often convenient to express high grade basis elements in terms of the Clifford [[pseudoscalar]],
$$\ga = \ga_0 \ga_1 \dots \ga_{n-1}$$
and the [[permutation symbol]]. In this way, the basis r-vectors can be written as
$$\ga_{\al \dots \be} = \fr{1}{\lp n-r \rp!} \ep_{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \ga^{\ga \dots \de} \ga$$
For example, the $n$ basis (n-1)-vectors are
$$\ga_{\al \dots \be} = \fr{1}{\lp n-1 \rp!} \ep_{\al \dots \be \ga} \ga^\ga \ga$$
This reduces the number of indices necessary to represent high grade [[Clifford element]]s.
The $2^n$ basis elements can also be written via a generalized index as $\ga_A$, with $A$ enumerating
each different antisymmetric combination of the usual Clifford indices.
The ''Clifford basis identities'' are derived from the [[fundamental Clifford identity|Clifford basis vectors]] by splitting the product of two basis vectors into a scalar (a [[Minkowski metric]] component) plus a bivector,
\[ \ga_\al \ga_\be = \ga_\al \cdot \ga_\be + \ga_\al \times \ga_\be = \et_{\al \be} + \ga_{\al \be} \]
or going in reverse — rewriting a bivector as a scalar plus the product of two basis vectors. By selectively applying this rule, all [[Clifford element]]s can be written as sums of coefficients times [[Clifford basis elements]]. The structure coefficients characterizing the [[Clifford algebra]] as a [[Lie algebra]] can be read off the [[cross product|antisymmetric bracket]] identities,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_\al \times \ga_\be &=& \ga_{\al \be}\\
\ga_\al \times \ga_{\be \ga} &=& \et_{\al \be} \ga_{\ga} - \et_{\al \ga} \ga_{\be}\\
\ga_{\al \be} \times \ga_{\ga \de} &=& - \et_{\al \ga} \ga_{\be \de} + \et_{\al \de} \ga_{\be \ga} + \et_{\be \ga} \ga_{\al \de} - \et_{\be \de} \ga_{\al \ga}\\
\ga_\al \times \ga_{\be \ga \de} &=& \ga_{\al \be \ga \de} \\
&\vdots&
\end{eqnarray}
Equally useful identities arise for the symmetric product,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_\al \cdot \ga_\be &=& \et_{\al \be}\\
\ga_\al \cdot \ga_{\be \ga} &=& \ga_{\al \be \ga}\\
\ga_{\al \be} \cdot \ga_{\ga \de} &=& \lp \et_{\al \de} \et_{\be \ga} - \et_{\al \ga} \et_{\be \de} \rp + \ga_{\al \be \ga \de}\\
\ga_\al \cdot \ga_{\be \ga \de} &=& \et_{\al\be} \ga_{\ga\de} - \et_{\al\ga} \ga_{\be\de} + \et_{\al\de} \ga_{\be\ga} \\
&\vdots&
\end{eqnarray}
Continuing the series, the product of two basis elements of [[grade|Clifford grade]]s $p$ and $q$, such as
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_{\al \be} \ga_{\ga \de} &=& \ga_{\al \be} \cdot \ga_{\ga \de} + \ga_{\al \be} \times \ga_{\ga \de}\\
&=& \lp \et_{\al \de} \et_{\be \ga} - \et_{\al \ga} \et_{\be \de} \rp + \lp - \et_{\al \ga} \ga_{\be \de} + \et_{\al \de} \ga_{\be \ga} + \et_{\be \ga} \ga_{\al \de} - \et_{\be \de} \ga_{\al \ga} \rp + \ga_{\al \be \ga \de}
\end{eqnarray}
gives a result of mixed grades $|p-q|$ through $p+q \le n$ in steps of $2$. For example, a bivector times a 3-vector typically gives a vector plus a 3-vector plus a 5-vector if $n$ is at least 5, otherwise just a vector plus a 3-vector.
The products of even or odd graded elements are
| !grade of $A$ | !grade of $B$ | !grade of $AB$ |
| even | even | even |
| odd | odd | even |
| odd | even | odd |
Note that the cross product with a bivector is grade preserving.
A rest [[frame]] exists at each point in a curved [[spacetime]]. A sufficiently small surrounding region is described locally by a diagonal [[Minkowski metric]], $\eta_{\al \be}$, with $p$ positive and $q$ negative unit entries. This may be visualized by considering a set of $n$ ''orthonormal'' (orthogonal and unit length) geometric "vector" elements, the ''Clifford basis vectors'', or ''//Clifford algebra generators//'', $\ga_\al$. These Clifford basis vectors provide a means for invariantly describing local geometric objects.
Like [[coordinate basis 1-forms]], two unequal Clifford basis vectors anti-commute, and their product represents a geometric area, or ''bivector'', element such as $\ga_1 \ga_2 = - \ga_2 \ga_1$, representing a unit area element spanned by $\ga_1$ and $\ga_2$. The orthonormality of Clifford basis vectors is expressed by the ''fundamental Clifford identity'',
$$
\ga_\al \cdot \ga_\be = \ha \lp \ga_\al \ga_\be + \ga_\be \ga_\al \rp = \et_{\al \be}
$$
which gives a Clifford scalar (real number) as a result of the symmetric product of two Clifford vectors. The antisymmetric product of every combination of two unequal Clifford vectors gives the $\ha n (n-1)$ bivector [[Clifford basis elements]],
$$
\ga_\al \times \ga_\be = \ha \lb \ga_\al, \ga_\be \rb = \ha \lp \ga_\al \ga_\be - \ga_\be \ga_\al \rp = \ga_\al \ga_\be = \ga_{\lb \al \be \rb} = \ga_{\al \be}
$$
The ''Clifford bundle'', $Cl M$, with base [[manifold]] $M$ is an [[automorphism bundle]] and a [[vector bundle]] with $2^n$ fiber basis elements equal to the [[Clifford basis elements]], $\ga_{\al \dots \be}$. The fiber at each base manifold point, $p$, is the space of [[Clifford element]]s. The transition functions for the basis elements over overlapping patches, $U_1$ and $U_2$, are given by [[Clifford adjoint]]s,
$$
\ga_{\al \dots \be}^2 = U_{21} \ga_{\al \dots \be}^1 U_{21}^-
$$
which don't necessarily preserve [[Clifford grade]]. The structure group, $Aut(Cl)=Cl^*$, the automorphism group, is the [[Clifford group]] with adjoint action on the fiber. //(Is that true?)//
For a section, $C(x)$, transforming under the adjoint action [[gauge transformation]], $C \mapsto C'=U C U^-$, the [[covariant derivative]] is
$$
\f{\na} C = \f{d} C + \ha \f{A} C - \ha C \f{A} = \f{d} C + \f{A} \times C
$$
(defined with a $\ha$ in it to keep things pretty) with the [[Clifford connection]], $\f{A}$, applied using the [[cross product|Clifford algebra]].
Any fiber element, $C$, at $t=0$ may be [[parallel transport]]ed to $C(t)=U(t)CU^-$ along a path on the base by a parameter dependent Clifford element, the path holonomy, $U(t) = Pe^{- \ha \int_0^t \f{A}}$, satisfying the [[path holonomy]] equation,
$$
\fr{d}{dt} U(t) = - \ha \ve{v} \f{A} U
$$
Applying the covariant derivative twice (being careful with the signs of 1-forms hopping sides),
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na} \f{\na} C &=& \f{d} \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{A} C - \ha C \f{A} \rp + \ha \f{A} \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{A} C - \ha C \f{A} \rp + \ha \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{A} C - \ha C \f{A} \rp \f{A} \\
&=& \ha \lp \f{d} \f{A} \rp C - \ha \f{A} \f{d} C - \ha \lp \f{d} C \rp \f{A} - \ha C \f{d} \f{A}
+ \ha \f{A} \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{A} C - \ha C \f{A} \rp + \ha \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{A} C - \ha C \f{A} \rp \f{A} \\
&=& \ff{F} \times C
\end{eqnarray}
gives the [[Clifford curvature|Clifford-Riemann curvature]],
$$
\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{A} + \ha \f{A} \times \f{A}
$$
a Clifford valued 2-form. This expression for the curvature may alternatively be obtained from the [[holonomy]] (minding the new factor of $\ha$ in the path holonomy equation).
Under a gauge transformation, $C(x) \mapsto C'(x) = U(x) C(x) U^-(x)$, the covariant derivative changes to
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na'} C' &=& U \lp \f{\na} C \rp U^-\\
\f{d} \lp U C U^- \rp + \ha \f{A'} U C U^- - \ha U C U^- \f{A'} &=& U \lp \f{d} C \rp U^- + \ha U \f{A} C U^- - \ha U C \f{A} U^-
\end{eqnarray}
giving the transformation law for the connection,
$$
\f{A'} = U \f{A} U^- - 2 \lp \f{d} U \rp U^- = U \f{A} U^- + 2 U \lp \f{d} U^- \rp
$$
An infinitesimal transformation, $U \simeq 1 + \ha C$, changes the connection to
$$
\f{A'} \simeq \f{A} - \f{d} C - \ha \f{A} C + \ha C \f{A} = \f{A} - \f{\na} C
$$
The curvature consequently transforms under a gauge transformation to
$$
\ff{F'} = \f{d} \f{A'} + \ha \f{A'} \times \f{A'} = U \ff{F} U^- \simeq \ff{F} + C \times \ff{F}
$$
The covariant derivative acting on a [[Clifform]] such as the curvature, transforming under the adjoint action, $\ff{F'} = U \ff{F} U^-$, is still
$$
\f{\na} \ff{F} = \f{d} \ff{F} + \f{A} \times \ff{F}
$$
The [[graded Clifford bundle|Clifford vector bundle]] has the same fiber as the [[Clifford bundle]], but the transition functions (which for the graded Clifford bundle are grade preserving) are [[Clifford rotation]]s.
We can use two [[division algebra]]s, $\mathbb{D}$ and $\mathbb{D}'$, of dimension $n$ and $n'$ and signature $(p,q)$ and $(p',q')$, to construct chiral representations of [[Clifford algebra]]s $Cl(p+p',q+q')$ or $Cl(p+q',q+p')$, in a similar manner to the construction of [[Clifford division algebra representation]]s. In a ''Clifford compound division algebra representation'', Clifford vectors are expressed as
$$
v = v^\al \ga_\al =
\lb \ba{cc}
0 & v_- \\
v_+ & 0
\ea \rb
\s \s
v_- =
\lb \ba{cc}
x & \pm \os{y}{}' \\
y' & - \os{x}
\ea \rb
\s \s
v_+ =
\lb \ba{cc}
\os{x} & \pm \os{y}{}' \\
y' & - x
\ea \rb
$$
which may be understood as matrices of inter-commuting division algebra elements, $x \in \mathbb{D}$ and $y' \in \mathbb{D}'$, or as $\mathbb{R}(2(n\!+\!n'))$ matrices via their direct Clifford division algebra representation. The result of multiplying two vectors is
$$
u \, v = \lb \ba{cc}
u_- v_+ & 0 \\
0 & u_+ v_-
\ea \rb
\s \s
u_- v_+ =
\lb \ba{cc}
w & \pm \os{z}{}' \\
z' & - \os{w}
\ea \rb
\lb \ba{cc}
\os{x} & \pm \os{y}{}' \\
y' & - x
\ea \rb
=
\lb \ba{cc}
w \os{x} \pm \os{z}' y'
&
\pm w \os{y}' \mp \os{z}' x \\
z' \os{x} - \os{w} y'
&
\pm z' \os{y}' + \os{w} x
\ea \rb
$$
in which we see the result of squaring a vector is
$$
v \, v = \lb \ba{cc}
x \os{x} \pm \os{y}' y'
&
0 \\
0
&
\pm y' \os{y}' + \os{x} x
\ea \rb
$$
and so the represented Clifford algebra has signature $(p+p',q+q')$ or $(p+q',q+p')$ depending on the choice of $\pm$. The chiral bivector part of $u v$, an element of a [[spin Lie algebra]], $spin(p+p',q+q')$ or $spin(p+q',q+p')$, is
$$
u_- v_+ \; \in \;
\lb \ba{cc}
\mathbb{B} \oplus \mathbb{B}'
&
\mathbb{D} \otimes \mathbb{D}' \\
\mathbb{D} \otimes \mathbb{D}'
&
\mathbb{B} \oplus \mathbb{B}'
\ea \rb
$$
with the tensor product of the division algebras on the off diagonal, and the direct sum of bi-products on the diagonal.
Every Clifford algebra and spin Lie algebra representation relevant to the [[exceptional magic square]] can be computed this way.
As well as the usual [[Clifford matrix representation]] of [[Cl(2,4)]], there are [[Clifford compound division algebra representation]]s.
Using the [[bi-split-quaternion]]s, with $q \in \mathbb{D} = \mathbb{H}'$ and $z \in \mathbb{D}' = \mathbb{C}$, we have
$$
v = v^\al \ga_\al =
\lb \ba{cc}
0 & v_- \\
v_+ & 0
\ea \rb
\s \s
v_- =
\lb \ba{cc}

z & - \os{q}
\ea \rb
\s \s
v_+ =
\lb \ba{cc}
\os{q} & - z^* \\
z & - q

$$
with negative chiral bivector parts,
$$
v_{1-} v_{2+} =
\lb \ba{cc}
q_1 & - z^*_1 \\
z_1 & - \os{q}_1
\ea \rb
\lb \ba{cc}
\os{q}_2 & - z^*_2 \\
z_2 & - q_2
\ea \rb
=
\lb \ba{cc}
q_1 \os{q}_2 - z^*_1 z_2
&
- q_1 z^*_2 + z^*_1 q_2 \\
z_1 \os{q}_2 - \os{q}_1 z_2
&
- z_1 z^*_2 + \os{q}_1 q_2
\ea \rb
=
\lb \ba{cc}
q_3 - z_3
&
b \\
\os{b}^*
&
- z_3^* + q_4
\ea \rb
$$
Or, using the [[biquaternion]]s, with $z \in \mathbb{D} = \mathbb{C}$ and $q \in \mathbb{D}' = \mathbb{H}$, we have
$$
v = v^\al \ga_\al =
\lb \ba{cc}
0 & v_- \\
v_+ & 0
\ea \rb
\s \s
v_- =
\lb \ba{cc}
z & - \os{q} \\
q & - z^*
\ea \rb
\s \s
v_+ =
\lb \ba{cc}
z^* & - \os{q} \\
q & - z
\ea \rb
$$
Using the usual representation of biquaternions in terms of Pauli matrices, this gives
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_\va &=& - i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_1 \otimes \si_\va \\
\ga_4 &=& - i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga_5 &=& \;\;\;\; \, \si_1 \otimes \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga_6 &=& \;\;\;\; \,\si_2 \otimes \si_0 \otimes \si_0 \\
\end{eqnarray}
and so
$$
v_\pm = \lb \ba{cc}
v^5 \pm i \, v^6 & - v^4 \si_0 - v^\ep i \si_\ep \\
v^4 \si_0 - v^\ep i \si_\ep & - v^5 \pm i \, v^6
\ea \rb
$$
The negative chiral bivector part is
$$
v_{1-} v_{2+} =
\lb \ba{cc}
z_1 & - \os{q}_1 \\
q_1 & - z^*_1
\ea \rb
\lb \ba{cc}

z_1 z^*_2 - \os{q}_1 q_2

- z_1 \os{q}_2 + \os{q}_1 z_2 \\
q_1 z^*_2 - z_1^* q_2

- q_1 \os{q}_2 + z_1^* z_2
\ea \rb
=
\lb \ba{cc}
q_3 + z_3

z_3^* + q_4

$$
which is a representative element of [[su(2,2)]].
//that might lead to some fun...//
One may carry out several unary operations on [[Clifford element]]s.
The [[inverse]] of a Clifford element, $A^-$, is most generally computed by working in a [[Clifford matrix representation]]. However, some cases may be handled easily, such as the inverse of a Clifford vector, $v^- = \fr{v}{v \cdot v}$.
The [[Clifford dual]] of an element, $A \ga^-$, is often a useful object.
The ''involution'' operator inverts the signs of all vectors in an element, producing a [[grade|Clifford grade]] dependent sign change for the parts of an element, $\hat{A^r} = \lp -1 \rp^r A^r$, also expressible as $\hat{A} = A^e - A^o$.
The ''reversion operator'', a.k.a. ''//reverse//'', reverses the order of all vectors multiplied in an element, producing $\tilde{A^r} = \lp -1 \rp^{\ha r(r-1)} A^r$.
''Clifford conjugation'' combines these last two, $\bar{A} = \tilde{\hat{A^r}} = \lp -1 \rp^{\ha r(r+1)} A^r$.
For a set of [[Dirac matrices]] in which $\ga_0$ is represented by a Hermitian matrix and all spatial [[Clifford basis vectors]] are represented by anti-Hermitian matrices, the [[Hermitian]] conjugate of a Clifford element is $A^\da = \ga_0 \tilde{A} \ga^0$. When written as a matrix, this gives the transpose of the complex conjugate, $A^\da = A^{*T}$. For the chiral representation of the $Cl(1,3)$ Dirac matrices, only $\ga_2$ is imaginary and the other basis vectors are real, so [[complex conjugates|complex structure]] of these represented Clifford elements are $A^* = \ga_2 A \ga_2$.
One often encounters the ''Dirac conjugate'', $\overline{A} = A^\da \ga_0 = \ga_0 \tilde{A}$, which shouldn't be confused with the Clifford conjugate.
The [[vector bundle connection]] for the [[Clifford bundle]] is defined through the operation of the suitable [[vector bundle covariant derivative|vector bundle connection]] on the [[Clifford basis vectors]] for the $Cl$ fiber. The structure group for the bundle is the [[Clifford group]], with group elements acting on the fiber through the [[Clifford adjoint]]. The covariant derivative may therefore be represented using a ''Clifford connection'', $\f{A} \in \f{Cl}$, acting on basis elements via the [[cross product|antisymmetric bracket]],
$$
\f{\na} \ga_\al = \f{A} \times \ga_\al
$$
which gives the ''Clifford covariant derivative'' acting on any Clifford valued field (Clifford bundle section),
$$
\f{\na} C = \f{d} C + \f{A} \times C
$$
Note that the covariant derivative for the Clifford bundle does not necessarily preserve [[Clifford grade]].
The ''Clifford covariant derivative'', $\na = \ve{e} \f{\na} = \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^i \na_i = \ga^\mu \na_\mu$, is a [[Clifford vector]] valued differential operator that comes from [[Cliffordizing|Cliffordization]] the [[Clifford vector bundle covariant derivative|Clifford vector bundle]]. Acting on [[Clifford basis vectors]], we have
$$
\na \ga_\mu = \ve{e} \lp \f{\om} \times \ga_\mu \rp
= \ga^\rh \ve{e}_\rh \lp \f{\om}^\nu{}_\mu \ga_\nu \rp
= \ga_{\rh \nu} \om^\rh{}^\nu{}_\mu + \om_\nu{}^\nu{}_\mu
$$
with the [[spin connection]], $\f{\om}$, applied using the [[cross product|Clifford algebra]], and noting the [[Clifford vector]] multiplication resulting in scalar and bivector parts. Acting on the associated tangent vectors and 1-forms we have
$$
\na \ve{e}{}_\mu = \ga_\rh \om^{\rh \nu}{}_\mu \ve{e}{}_\nu \s \na \f{e}^\mu = \ga_\rh \om{}^\rh{}_\nu{}^\mu \f{e}^\nu
$$
Combining these, we have
$$
\na \f{e} = \f{\na} \f{e}^\mu \ga_\mu = ( \na \f{e}^\mu ) \ga_\mu + \f{e}^\mu ( \na \ga_\mu )
= ( \ga_\rh \om{}^\rh{}_\nu{}^\mu \f{e}^\nu ) \ga_\mu + \f{e}^\mu ( \ga_{\rh \nu} \om^\rh{}^\nu{}_\mu + \et_{\rh \nu} \om^\rh{}^\nu{}_\mu) = \f{e}^\mu \mathrm{div}(\ve{e}_\mu)
$$
producing the ''frame [[divergence]]'', $\na \cdot \f{e} = \f{e}^\mu \mathrm{div}(\ve{e}_\mu)$, as well as $\na \times \f{e}=0$. This covariant derivative is the [[Clifford bundle]] analog of the [[Dirac operator]], which includes half of the [[Clifford connection]]. It also provides the Clifford bundle analog of both the [[exterior derivative]] and the [[codifferential]], raising or lowering the [[Clifford algebra]] grade using either the cross product or dot product, and can be used to help reformulate expressions involving forms to expressions using Clifford elements.
If $\f{A} = \f{e}^\mu A_\mu(x)$ is a [[1-form]] field, such as a [[connection]], then its associated Clifford field is $A = \ve{e} \f{A} = \ga^\mu A_\mu$. The Clifford antisymmetric covariant derivative of this is
\begin{eqnarray}
\na \times A &=& \ga^\mu \na_\mu \times \ga^\nu A_\nu = \ga^\mu \times ( \ga^\nu \pa_\mu A_\nu + \om_{\mu \rh}{}^\nu \ga^\rh A_\nu )
= \ga^{\mu\nu} ( \pa_\mu A_\nu + \om_{\mu \nu}{}^\rh A_\rh ) \\
&=& \ve{e} \f{\na} \times \ve{e} \f{A} = - \ve{e} \ve{e} \f{\na} \f{A} = - \ve{e} \ve{e} \ff{F} = F \\
\end{eqnarray}
in which $F$ is the Clifford bivector field, $F = \ha \ga^{\mu \nu} F_{\mu \nu}$, associated to the 2-form $\ff{F} = \ha \f{e}^\mu \f{e}^\nu F_{\mu\nu} = \f{\na} \f{A}$ ( $= \f{d} \f{A}$ if there's no [[torsion]]). The Clifford symmetric covariant derivative of a 1-form is a scalar, its [[divergence]],
$$
\na \cdot A = \ve{e} \f{\na} \cdot \ve{e} \f{A} = \ga^\mu \cdot \na_\mu \ga^\nu A_\nu
= \ga^\mu \cdot ( \ga^\nu \pa_\mu A_\nu + \om_{\mu \rh}{}^\nu \ga^\rh A_\nu )
= \pa^\mu A_\mu + \om_{\mu}{}^{\mu \nu} A_\nu
= \mathrm{div}(\f{A})
$$
equivalent to the [[codifferential]] of the 1-form field, $\ve{\de} \f{A}$, if there's no torsion. Combining these, we have $\na A = - \ve{e} \ve{e} ( \f{\na} \f{A} ) + \mathrm{div}(\f{A})$. If we wish to compute the equivalent of $\ve{\de} \ff{F} = \ve{\de} \f{d} \f{A}$, we can look at the Clifford antisymmetric derivative of a bivector, obtaining a vector,
\begin{eqnarray}
\na \times F &=& \ga^\rh \na_\rh \times ( \ha \ga^{\mu\nu} F_{\mu\nu})
= \ga^\rh \times ( \ha \ga^{\mu\nu} \pa_\rh F_{\mu\nu} + \ha (\om_\rh{}_\si{}^\mu \ga^{\si\nu} + \om_\rh{}_\si{}^\nu \ga^{\mu\si}) F_{\mu\nu} ) \\
&=& \ga^\mu ( \pa^\nu F_{\nu\mu} + \om_{\rh}{}^{\rh\nu} F_{\nu\mu} + \om^\nu{}_\mu{}^\rh F_{\nu\rh} ) \\
&=& \ve{e} (\ve{\na} \ff{F})
\end{eqnarray}
using [[Clifford basis identities]]. For completeness, we also have the trivector,
$$
\na \cdot F = \fr{1}{3!} \ga^{\rh\mu\nu} (3 \, \pa_\rh F_{\mu\nu} + 6 \, \om_{\rh\mu}{}^\si F_{\si\nu})
$$
associated to $\f{\na} \ff{F}$.
The ''Clifford curvature scalar'' is obtained by taking the [[scalar part]] of the [[frame]] contracted twice with the [[Clifford bundle]] curvature,
$$
R = \li \ve{e} \ve{e} \ff{F} \ri
$$
If, specifically, we are working with the [[Clifford vector bundle]], the Clifford curvature scalar is then the result of the [[dot product|Clifford algebra]] of the frame with the [[Clifford-Ricci curvature]],
$$
R = \li \ve{e} \ve{e} \ff{R} \ri = \ve{e} \cdot \f{R} = \lp \ve{e} \times \ve{e} \rp \cdot \ff{R}
$$
and equals the [[curvature scalar]] written in terms of the [[spin connection]] and frame.
The Clifford curvature scalar also comes from the expression:
\begin{eqnarray}
\fr{2}{\lp n-2 \rp!} \li \lp \f{e} \rp^{n-2} \ff{R} \ga^- \ri
&=& \fr{2}{\lp n-2 \rp!} \f{e}^\al \dots \f{e}^\be \f{e}^\mu \f{e}^\nu \fr{1}{4} R_{\mu\nu}{}^{\rh\si} \li \ga_{\al \dots \be} \ga_{\rh \si} \ga^- \ri \\
&=& \fr{2}{\lp n-2 \rp!} \nf{e} \ep^{\al \dots \be \mu \nu} \fr{1}{4} R_{\mu\nu}{}^{\rh\si} \ep_{\al \dots \be \rh \si} \\
&=& \nf{e} \de_{\lb \rh \si \rb}^{\mu\nu} R_{\mu\nu}{}^{\rh \si}=\nf{e} R
\end{eqnarray}
using the [[volume form]] and [[permutation identities]].
We can use a [[division algebra]], $\mathbb{D}$, of signature $(p,q)$, to construct a [[Clifford algebra]] of the same or reversed signature, with [[chiral]] Clifford basis vectors expressed as
$$
\ga_c =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & \pm \os{e}_c \\
e_c & 0
\end{array} \rb
\sim
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & \pm (\os{e}_c)^a{}_b \\
(e_c)^b{}_a & 0
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & \pm M_{\os{c}\os{b}}{}^a \\
M_{ca}{}^\os{b} & 0
\end{array} \rb
$$
a ''division algebra representation'', with $\os{e}_c$ the conjugate division algebra element, and the $\pm$ sign producing signatures $(p,q)$ or $(q,p)$. These can be understood as $\mathbb{D}(2)$ matrices, or as the $\mathbb{R}(2n)$ matrices of a real [[Clifford matrix representation]] using division algebra multiplication coefficients. For the [[octonion]]s, which are non-associative, multiplication is assumed to act to the right, and the specific matrices come from the action on a ''division algebra spinor'',
$$
\Ps = \lb \ba{c} \ps \\ \os{\ch} \ea \rb
= \lb \ba{c} \ps^a e_a \\ \ch^b \os{e}_b \ea \rb
\sim \lb \ba{c} \ps^a \\ \ch^b \ea \rb
$$
The representative basis vectors satisfy the fundamental Clifford identity by virtue of the division algebra metric,
$$
\ga_a \cdot \ga_b = \ha \lp \ga_a \ga_b + \ga_b \ga_a \rp =
\pm \ha
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
\os{e}_a e_b + \os{e}_b e_a & 0 \\
0 & e_a \os{e}_b + e_b \os{e}_a
\end{array} \rb
= \pm n_{ab}
$$
and these representative matrices are each other's transpose, $(\os{e}_c) = n_{cd} (e_d)^T$, and satisfy a ''cyclic identity'',
$$
M_{ca\os{b}} = M_{ab\os{c}} = M_{bc\os{a}}
= M_{\os{a}\os{c}b} = M_{\os{c}\os{b}a} = M_{\os{b}\os{a}c}
$$
related to [[triality]].
The representative Clifford bivector basis elements are
$$
\ga_{cd} = \lb \ba{cc} \pm \os{e}_c e_d & \\ & \pm e_c \os{e}_d \ea \rb
\sim \lb \ba{cc} \pm (\os{e}_c)^a{}_b (e_d)^b{}_e & \\ & \pm (e_c)^b{}_a (\os{e}_d)^a{}_f \ea \rb
= \lb \ba{cc} \pm M_{\os{c}\os{b}}{}^a M_{de}{}^\os{b} & \\ & \pm M_{ca}{}^\os{b} M_{\os{d}\os{f}}{}^a \ea \rb
$$
with it understood that, for example, $\os{e}_d$, multiplies to the right before $e_c$ multiplies the result. These are the [[chiral]] basis elements of the corresponding [[spin Lie algebra]], acting on division algebra spinors.
The ''Clifford dual'' of any [[Clifford element]], $A$, is obtained by right multiplying it by the inverse [[pseudoscalar]], $A \ga^-$. For a [[Clifford grade]] $r$ element, this gives a grade $(n-r)$ element,
\[ A^r \ga^- = \fr{1}{r!} A^{\al \dots \be} \ga_{\al \dots \be} \ga^- = \fr{1}{r! \lp n - r \rp !} A^{\al \dots \be} \li \ga_{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \ga^- \ri \ga^{\ga \dots \de} = \fr{1}{r! \lp n - r \rp !} A^{\al \dots \be} \ep_{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \ga^{\ga \dots \de} \]
in which $\ep_{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de}$ is the [[permutation symbol]], and [[indices]] are raised with the [[Minkowski metric]].
The Clifford dual transformation is analogous to the [[Hodge dual]].
Thanks to [[Clifford basis element orthogonality]] all [[Clifford algebra]] elements may be written as a sum of $2^n$ real coefficients multiplying [[Clifford basis elements]], with multiplicative factors included to account for the redundant sums over [[indices]], in a ''Clifford basis expansion'',
\begin{eqnarray}
A &=& A^s + A^\al \ga_\al + \ha A^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be} + \fr{1}{3!} A^{\al \be \ga} \ga_{\al \be \ga} + \dots + A^p \ga\\
&=& A^0 + A^1 + A^2 + A^3 + \dots + A^n
\end{eqnarray}
(Some people choose to limit the sums so they don't run over all index values — but this isn't done here.) Like the coefficients of [[differential form]]s, the Clifford element coefficients are [[antisymmetric|index bracket]] in their indices, $A^{\al \dots \be}=A^{\lb \al \dots \be \rb}$. Unlike differential forms, Clifford elements may be of mixed [[grade|Clifford grade]].
A clifford element has a geometric interpretation as a collection of variously sized scalar, vector, oriented area set, ..., and n-volume objects.
Clifford elements have a faithful [[matrix representation|Clifford matrix representation]].
The high grade terms of Clifford elements may be written with fewer indices by using the [[pseudoscalar]],
\begin{eqnarray}
A^r &=& \fr{1}{r!} A^{\al \dots \be} \ga_{\al \dots \be} = \fr{1}{r!} A^{\al \dots \be} \fr{1}{\lp n-r \rp!} \ep_{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \ga^{\ga \dots \de} \ga \\
&=& \fr{1}{\lp n-r \rp!} \lp \fr{1}{r!} A^{\al \dots \be} \ep_{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \rp \ga^{\ga \dots \de} \ga \\
&=& \fr{1}{\lp n-r \rp!} A^r_{\ga \dots \de} \ga^{\ga \dots \de} \ga \\
\end{eqnarray}
So, for example, the pseudoscalar (n-vector, grade $n$) part is
$$
A^n = \fr{1}{n!} A^{\al \dots \be} \ga_{\al \dots \be} = A^p \ga
$$
and the (n-1)-vector part is
$$
A^{n-1} = \fr{1}{\lp n-1 \rp!} A^{\al \dots \be} \ga_{\al \dots \be} = A^{n-1}_\al \ga^\al \ga
$$
A ''Clifford [[gauge transformation|vector bundle gauge transformation]]'' is a change of the fiber basis elements for a [[Clifford bundle]], [[Clifford vector bundle]], or any graded Clifford bundle. The change may be induced by the action of an arbitrary, position dependent element of the fiber bundle's structure group -- a subgroup of the [[Clifford group]] acting on the [[Clifford basis elements]] via the [[Clifford adjoint]],
$$
\ga'_\al = U \ga_\al U^-
$$
This gauge transformation is an active transformation of bundle elements, and transforms any Clifford valued field (section), $\Ph$, to
$$
\Ph' = U \Ph U^-
$$
By definition, the [[Clifford covariant derivative|Clifford connection]] of any Clifford valued field transforms under a gauge transformation such that,
$$
\f{\na'} \Phi' = \lp \f{\na} \Phi \rp'
$$
Writing out the covariant derivative operators in this equation using the [[Clifford connection]],
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na'} \lp U \Phi U^- \rp &=& U \lp \f{\na} \Phi \rp U^- \\
\lp \f{d} U \rp \Phi U^- + U \lp \f{d} \Phi \rp U^- + U \Phi \lp \f{d} U^- \rp + \f{A'} \times \lp U \Phi U^-\rp &=& U \lp \f{d} \Phi + \f{A} \times \Phi \rp U^- \\
U^- \lp \f{d} U \rp \Phi + \Phi \lp \f{d} U^- \rp U + \ha U^- \f{A'} U \Phi - \ha \Phi U^- \f{A'} U &=& \ha \f{A} \Phi - \ha \Phi \f{A}
\end{eqnarray}
gives the transformation law for the connection under a gauge transformation:
$$
\f{A'} = U \f{A} U^- - 2 \lp \f{d} U \rp U^-
$$
For an infinitesimal gauge transformation, $U \simeq 1 + \ha C$, the connection changes to
$$
\f{A'} \simeq \f{A} - \f{d} C - \ha \f{A} C + \ha C \f{A} = \f{A} - \f{\na} C
$$
giving the change $\de \f{A} = - \f{\na} C$.
The ''grade'' of a [[Clifford element]] corresponds to the number of [[Clifford basis vectors]] used in the [[Clifford basis elements]] needed to represent it. An element may be a single grade, $q$, in which case it is called a ''q-vector'', or it may be of mixed grade, and called a ''multivector''. For example,
\[ t = \fr{1}{3!} t^{\al \be \ga} \ga_{\al \be \ga} \]
is a 3-vector, or ''trivector'', while
\[ w = w^s + \ha w^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be} \]
is a multivector of grades 0 and 2.
The ''grade operator'', $\li A \ri_q = A^q$, acts as a filter, passing only the grade $q$ parts of $A$. For example, the bivector part of $w$ is
\[ \li w \ri_2 = \ha w^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be} \in \li Cl \ri_2 = Cl^2 \]
The grade operator may also be used to filter the even or odd graded parts of an element, such as $\li w\ri_e = \li w\ri_2$ and $\li w\ri_o = 0$. Of special interest is the grade 0 operator, $\li A\ri = \li A\ri_0 = A^0 = A^s$, or //''scalar part''// operator which gives the scalar part of $A$. This operator is proportional to the [[trace]] of an element in a [[Clifford matrix representation]]. It is useful since the grade 0 (scalar) part of a Clifford element is a real.
Combining [[Clifford basis identities]] with the [[grade|Clifford grade]] operator gives a ''Clifford graded [[commutation|commutator]]'' relationship for two Clifford elements of grades $r$ and $s$,
$$
\li A^r B^s \ri_q = \lp -1 \rp^\ep \li B^s A^r \ri_q
$$
with
$$
\ep = \ha \lp q^2 + r^2 + s^2 - q - r - s \rp
$$
This relation implies that any two Clifford elements commute inside the [[scalar part]] operator, $\li AB \ri = \li BA \ri$.
The Clifford product of two elements of grades $r$ and $s$ can produce elements of various grades,
$$
A^r B^s = \li A^r B^s \ri_{\ll r - s \rl} + \li A^r B^s \ri_{\ll r - s \rl + 2} + \dots + \li A^r B^s \ri_{r + s}
$$
The ''Clifford group'' consists of [[Clifford algebra]] elements having an inverse,
\[ Cl^* = \left\{ U \in Cl \mid \exists \;\; U^- \ni \, U \, U^- = 1 \right\} \]
The [[Clifford adjoint]] is the group action, and the [[Lie algebra]] corresponding to the Clifford group is the Clifford algebra.
Each [[Clifford algebra]] has a faithful representation in the real, quaternionic, or complex matrices, $GL(2^{[n/2]},\mathbb{C})$, with the Clifford product isomorphic to [[matrix|linear operator]] multiplication. This corresponds to the traditional definition of [[Pauli matrices]] and [[Dirac matrices]] as the $\gamma_{\alpha}$ for the purpose of using matrix algebra to do Clifford Algebra calculations, or simply for writing Clifford elements as matrices. Various unary operations on Clifford elements, the [[Clifford conjugate]]s, are equivalent to various matrix conjugates. The possible representations for any $Cl(p,q)$ are described by the [[table of Clifford matrix representations]].
A Clifford algebra is built by starting with the basis vectors and creating all possible multiples. For a seed example, we can build a representation for ''Cl(2,0)'' by starting with two Pauli matrices as the two [[Clifford basis vectors]],
$$
\begin{array}{cc}
\si_1 =
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
0 & 1\\
1 & 0
\end{array}\right]
&
\si_2 = \left[\begin{array}{cc}
0 & -i\\
i & 0\end{array}\right]
\end{array}
$$
and multiplying to get the scalar and bivector,
$$
\begin{array}{cc}
1 = \si_1 \si_1 =
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0\\
0 & 1\end{array}\right]
&
\si_{12} = \si_1 \si_2 =
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
i & 0\\
0 & -i
\end{array}\right]
= i \si_3
\end{array}
$$
completing the list of $Cl(2,0)$ [[Clifford basis elements]] represented as $2 \times 2$ complex matrices. To build larger Clifford algebras we can use the [[Kronecker product]] of smaller Clifford algebras -- ''Clifford periodicity''. For example, $Cl(2,2) = Cl(2,0) \otimes Cl(2,0)$, or [[Clifford representation doubling]], $Cl(p+1,q+1) = Cl(p,q) \otimes Cl(1,1)$. The tricky part is finding a set of orthogonal, anticommuting, ''Clifford basis vector matrix representatives'' after doing the product, such as picking out:
$$
\begin{array}{cc}
\ga_1 = \si_1 \otimes 1 =
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1\\
1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right]
&
\ga_2 = \si_2 \otimes \si_2 =
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & 0 & -1\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
-1 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right]
\\
\ga_3 = \si_2 \otimes \si_1 =
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & 0 & -i\\
0 & 0 & -i & 0\\
0 & i & 0 & 0\\
i & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right]
&
\ga_4 = \si_2 \otimes \si_{12} =
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & -1\\
-1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right]
\end{array}
$$
A matrix representation, such as above for $Cl(3,1)$, allows any element to be represented by a $4 \times 4$ complex matrix. For example,
$$
a \, \ga_{12} + b \, \ga_{34} = a \, \si_{12} \otimes \si_2 + b \, 1 \otimes \si_2 =
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
0 & a - i b & 0 & 0\\
-a + i b & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & -a - i b\\
0 & 0 & a + i b & 0
\end{array}\right]
$$
To get a different signature we can multiply any basis vector representaive by $i$, such as multiplying $\ga_3$ above by $i$ to get a ''real representation'' of $Cl(2,2)$ -- in which all basis vectors, and hence all elements, are represented by real matrices. And to represent a Clifford algebra of one less dimension we can discard a vector.
Everything done with Clifford algebra can be identified with the corresponding matrix manipulation; however, it will almost always be more geometrically revealing to deal with the Clifford algebra elements directly.

***p20 describes construction of reps for arbitrarily high dimension
Iteration of the [[cross product|antisymmetric bracket]] produces the ''Clifford Jacobi identity'',
\[ A \times \lp B \times C \rp + B \times \lp C \times A \rp + C \times \lp A \times B \rp = 0 \]
and the ''cross product distributive rules'',
\begin{eqnarray}
A \times \lp B \times C \rp &=& \lp A \cdot B \rp \cdot C - B \cdot \lp A \cdot C \rp \\
A \times \lp B C \rp &=& \lp A \times B \rp C + B \lp A \times C \rp
\end{eqnarray}
A combination of [[Clifford algebra]] dot and cross products is
\[ A \cdot \lp B \times C \rp + A \times \lp B \cdot C \rp = \ha \lp ABC - CBA \rp = \lp A \cdot B \rp \times C + \lp A \times B \rp \cdot C \]
A string of cross products without parenthesis, $A \times B \times C$, is not well defined because $A \times \lp B \times C \rp \ne \lp A \times B \rp \times C$; but a string of dot products, $A \cdot B \cdot C$, or a string of Clifford products, $ABC$, is well defined. In general, parenthesis should always be used to group multiple operations when the cross product is employed.
To calculate Clifford products, it is best to use the [[Clifford basis identities]]
The [[inverse]] of a [[Clifford vector]], $u$, is $u^-= \fr{u}{u\cdot u}$. Using the [[Clifford algebra]] symmetric product, and [[Clifford basis identities]], any vector, $v = v_\parallel + v_\perp$, can be decomposed into its orthogonal parts, $v_\parallel = u (v \cdot u^-)$ and $v_\perp = v - v_\parallel$, parallel to and perpendicular to $u$. Since parallel Clifford vectors commute and orthogonal Clifford vectors anticommute, the ''reflection'' of a vector, $v$, along a vector $u$, is
$$
R_u \, v = - u v u^- = - u ( v_\perp + v_\parallel ) u^- = v_\perp - v_\parallel
$$
Reflection is not obviously a [[Clifford adjoint]]. However, in [[spacetime]] [[Cl(1,3)]] we can define $u' = u \ga$ using the [[pseudoscalar]], which gives $R_u \, v = u' v \, u'^-$. This extends to give reflections of any $Cl(1,3)$ element, $R_u \, A = (u \ga) A (u \ga)^-$, and reflections of [[Dirac spinor]]s, $R_u \, \Ps = (u \ga) \Ps$. The reflection element, $U = u \ga$, is an element of the [[pin group]], $Pin(1,3)$.
A [[Clifford rotation]] can be constructed by combining two Clifford reflections. Suppose one wishes to rotate a vector, $v_1$, to a vector of equal length, $v_2$ (so $v_1^2 = v_2^2$). First reflect along their unit-length bisector, $v_a = (v_1+v_2)/|v_1+v_2|$, to get
$$
-v_a v_1 v_a^- = - \fr{v_1 + v_2}{|v_1+v_2|} v_1 \fr{v_1 + v_2}{|v_1+v_2|} = - \fr{v_2(v_2^- v_1^3 + 2 v_1^2 + v_1 v_2)}{ v_1^2 + v_1 v_2 + v_2 v_1 +v_2^2 } = - v_2
$$
then reflect along $v_2$,
$$
v_2 v_a v_1 v_a^- v_2^- = v_2 v_2 v_2^- = v_2
$$
So we see that the rotation by a [[simple rotor|Clifford rotation]],
$$
U = v_2 v_a = \fr{v_2^2 + v_2 v_1}{|v_1+v_2|}
$$
takes $v_1$ to $U v_1 U^- = v_2$. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are of unit length with an angle $\th$ between them then
$$
U = \fr{1 + \cos(\th) + v_2 \times v_1}{\sqrt{2+2 \cos(\th)}} = \cos(\fr{\th}{2}) + \fr{v_2 \times v_1}{2 \cos(\fr{\th}{2})}
$$
A [[Clifford algebra]] that is two dimensions larger, by a split signature, has the same structure,
$$
Cl(p+1,q+1) = Cl(p,q) \otimes Cl(1,1)
$$
Doubled representations can be constructed explicitly using [[Pauli matrices]] and [[pseudoscalar]]. For $n = p + q$ even, and $\Ga^2 = -1$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga'_\mu &=& \;\;\, \; \, \si_1 \otimes \Ga_\mu \\
\Ga'_{\mu + 1} &=& \;\;\, i \, \si_1 \otimes \Ga \\
\Ga'_{\mu + 2} &=& - i \, \si_2 \otimes 1 \\
\end{eqnarray}
or the $i$'s can be removed. For $n = p + q$ odd, and $\Ga^2 = -1$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga'_\mu &=& \, \, \Ga_\mu \otimes \si_3 \\
\Ga'_{\mu + 1} &=& \; i \, \Ga \otimes \si_1 \\
\Ga'_{\mu + 2} &=& \; \; \, \Ga \otimes \si_2 \\
\end{eqnarray}
or the $i$ can be swapped. We also have the doublings
\begin{eqnarray}
Cl(p+2,q) &=& Cl(p,q) \otimes Cl(2,0) \\
Cl(p,q+2) &=& Cl(p,q) \otimes Cl(0,2) \\
\end{eqnarray}
A bivector crossed with a vector gives a vector orthogonal to the original, in the plane (or planes) of the bivector. Using the [[Clifford basis identities]] and antisymmetry of bivector indices,
\begin{eqnarray}
B \times v &=& \ha B^{\al \be} v^\ga \ga_{\al \be} \times \ga_\ga = B^{\al \be} v^\ga \ga_{\lb \al \rd} \et_{\ld \be \rb \ga} = B^{\al \be} v_\be \ga_\al \\
v \cdot \lp B \times v \rp &=& v^\de B^{\al \be} v_\be \ga_\de \cdot \ga_\al = B^{\al \be} v_\al v_\be = 0
\end{eqnarray}
A small rotational transformation in the plane (or planes) of a bivector may be carried out by
$$
v' \simeq v + \fr{1}{N}B \times v \simeq \lp 1 + \fr{1}{2N} B \rp v \lp 1 - \fr{1}{2N} B \rp
$$
for a large parameter, $N$. A finite rotation thus comes from [[exponentiating|exponentiation]] the bivector,
$$
v' = \lp \lim_{N \to \infty} \lp 1 + \fr{1}{2N} B \rp^N \rp \, v \, \lp \lim_{N \to \infty} \lp 1 - \fr{1}{2N} B \rp^N \rp = e^{\ha B} v \, e^{- \ha B} = U \, v \, U^-
$$
in which $U = e^{\ha B}$ is called a ''rotor'', and is an element of the [[spin group]].
As an example, a [[spatial rotation]] of a [[spacetime]] vector, $v = v^\mu \ga_\mu$, by an angle of $\th$ clockwise in the $\ga_{12}$ plane gives
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
v' \ae e^{-\fr{\th}{2} \ga_{12}} \, v \, e^{ \fr{\th}{2} \ga_{12}} = \lp \cos{\fr{\th}{2}} - \ga_{12} \sin{\fr{\th}{2}} \rp v \lp \cos{\fr{\th}{2}} + \ga_{12} \sin{\fr{\th}{2}} \rp \\
\ae v^0 \ga_0 + \lp v^1 \cos{\th} + v^2 \sin{\th} \rp \ga_1 + \lp v^2 \cos{\th} - v^1 \sin{\th} \rp \ga_2 + v^3 \ga_3
\end{array}
$$
Similarly, a [[Lorentz boost]] by $\ze$ along $\ga_3$ gives
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
v' \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! e^{- \ha \ga_{03} \ze} \, v \, e^{ \ha \ga_{03} \ze} = \lp \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} - \ga_{03} \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \rp v \lp \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} + \ga_{03} \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \rp \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \lp v^0 \cosh{\ze} + v^3 \sinh{\ze} \rp \ga_0 + v^1 \ga_1 + v^2 \ga_2 + \lp v^3 \cosh{\ze} + v^0 \sinh{\ze} \rp \ga_3
\end{array}
$$
Since $U^- = e^{- \ha B} = \tilde{U}$ is the [[reverse|Clifford conjugate]] and the [[inverse]] of $U = e^{\ha B}$, Clifford rotation is a special case of the [[Clifford adjoint]]. Any [[Clifford element]] may be rotated, $A' = U A U^-$ -- preserving the [[Clifford grade]] of the element. A rotor also actively rotates a [[spinor]], $\Ps' = U \Ps$, with the spinor either a Clifford algebra ideal or in some [[Clifford matrix representation]]. The group of Clifford rotations, $\mbox{Spin}{}^+$, in any Lorentzian spacetime, is the identity component of a [[spin group]] -- a double cover of the [[special orthochronous Lorentz group|Lorentz group]]. A Clifford rotation may be translated into tensor notation for the equivalent [[Lorentz rotation]] via
$$
\ga'_\al = \ga_\be L^\be{}_\al = U \ga_\al U^-
$$
A rotation may also be obtained from [[Clifford reflection]]s. A ''simple rotor'' is a rotor that can be written as the product of two vectors, $U_{s}=ab=e^{\frac{1}{2}i_{2}\theta}$, in which $i_{2}$ is a unit bivector of a rotation plane and $\theta$ is a rotation parameter. A rotor may always be factored into a product of $\leq\frac{n}{2}$ simple rotors. A standard decomposition uses the choice of a non-singular vector, $v$, to factor a rotor into $U=\pm U'U_{s}$, in which $U'$ is a rotor that leaves $v$ invariant, $U'v=vU'$, and $U_{s}$ is a simple rotor that rotates $v$. In a four-dimensional Lorentzian [[spacetime]], a ''spacetime rotor'' can thus be factored using the time-like frame vector, $\gamma_{0}$, into a [[spatial rotation]] and [[Lorentz boost]],
$$
U = U_a \, U_\nu = e^{-\frac{1}{2}\gamma\gamma_{0} a} \, e^{-\frac{1}{2}\gamma_{0} \nu}
$$
in which $a = \gamma_{\pi} a^{\pi}$ is the spatial rotation vector (rotating an angle of $|a|$ clockwise about the $a$ axis) and $\nu = \gamma_{\pi}\nu^{\pi}$ is the rapidity vector of the boost. Using the chiral representation of the [[Dirac matrices]], in which $\ga_0 = \ga_0^\da$ is Hermitian and $\ga_\pi = - \ga_\pi^\da$ are anti-Hermitian under the [[Hermitian]] conjugate, the [[Clifford conjugate]] of a spacetime rotor is $U^- = \tilde{U} = \ga^0 U^\da \ga_0$ -- so these rotors, $U$, as matrix operators, are not [[unitary]]. They do, however, satisfy $U_{L/R}^- = U_{R/L}^\da$, in a [[chiral Clifford rotation]].
A ''Clifford vector'' is a [[grade|Clifford grade]] 1 [[Clifford element]],
$$
v = v^\al \ga_\al
$$
in which $\ga_\al$ are [[Clifford basis vectors]].
The ''Clifford vector bundle'', $Cl^1 M$, with base [[manifold]] $M$ is a [[vector bundle]] with $n$ fiber basis elements equal to the [[Clifford basis vectors]], $\ga_\al$. The fiber at each base manifold point, $p$, is the space of grade 1 Clifford elements, $Cl^1 = \li Cl \ri_1$. Physically, each fiber corresponds to a [[rest frame]] at that point. The transition functions for the basis elements over overlapping patches, $U_1$ and $U_2$, are given by [[Clifford rotation]]s,
$$
\ga_\al^2 = U_{12} \ga_\al^1 U_{12}^- = \lp t^{12} \rp_\al{}^\be \ga_\be^1 = \lp L^{12} \rp^\be{}_\al \ga_\be^1
$$
By equating the transition functions, $L^\be{}_\al$, and using the [[frame]], $\ve{e}{}_\al \f{e} = \ga_\al$, the Clifford vector bundle is [[associated]], $\ga_\al \leftrightarrow \ve{e_\al}$, to the [[tangent bundle]], with a corresponding equivalence between all their geometric structures. The structure group of the Clifford vector bundle, $\mbox{Spin}{}^+$, is a double cover of the [[special orthochronous Lorentz group|Lorentz group]]. A Clifford vector field, $v = v(x) = v^\al(x) \ga_\al$, over the manifold is a section of the bundle, and gives a Clifford vector at each manifold point.
[[Clifford grade]] $p$ fields are sections of the ''Clifford p-vector bundle'', $Cl^p M$, which has the $\frac{n!}{\left(n-p\right)!p!}$ grade $p$ [[Clifford basis elements]], $\ga_{\la \dots \be}$, as basis. The combined collection of these Clifford vector product bundles is the ''graded Clifford bundle'', $Cl^g M = \bigoplus_{p=0}^{n} Cl^p M$, having dimension $2^{n}$. The transition functions for the graded Clifford bundle are also [[Clifford rotation]]s,
$$\ga_{\al \dots \be}^2 = U_{12} \ga_{\al \dots \be}^1 U_{12}^-$$
which preserve the grade of the basis elements. The graded Clifford bundle fiber, $Cl$, is the same as for the [[Clifford bundle]] — but the transition functions (which for the graded Clifford bundle are grade preserving) are in different groups for the two bundles -- the Clifford vector bundle is a Clifford bundle with a [[reduction of the structure group]].
A section, $C(x)$, transforms under the Clifford rotation [[gauge transformation]], $C \mapsto C'=U C U^-$, and the [[covariant derivative]] is thus
$$
\f{\na} C = \f{d} C + \ha \f{\om} C - \ha C \f{\om} = \f{d} C + \f{\om} \times C
$$
(defined with a $\ha$ in it to keep things pretty) with the [[spin connection]], $\f{\om}$, applied using the [[cross product|Clifford algebra]]. This ''Clifford vector bundle covariant derivative'' acts nontrivially on Clifford basis vectors, and on the associated tangent vectors and forms as the [[tangent bundle covariant derivative|tangent bundle connection]] and [[cotangent bundle covariant derivative|cotangent bundle connection]],
$$
\f{\na} \ga_\mu = \f{\om}^\nu{}_\mu \ga_\nu
\s
\f{\na} \ve{e}{}_\mu = \f{\om}^\nu{}_\mu \ve{e}{}_\nu
\s
\f{\na} \f{e}^\mu = \f{\om}{}_\nu{}^\mu{} \f{e}^\nu
$$
so we have
$$
\f{\na} \f{e} = \f{\na} \f{e}^\mu \ga_\mu = \lp \f{\na} \f{e}^\mu \rp \ga_\mu - \f{e}^\mu \lp \f{\na} \ga_\mu \rp
= \lp \f{\om}{}_\nu{}^\mu{} \f{e}^\nu \rp \ga_\mu - \f{e}^\mu \lp \f{\om}^\nu{}_\mu \ga_\nu \rp = 0
$$
and, similarly, $\f{\na} \ve{e}=0$. It also acts on other Clifford basis elements,
$$
\f{\na} \ga_{\mu \nu} = \f{\om} \times \ga_{\mu\nu} = \f{\om}^\rh{}_\mu \ga_{\rh\nu} + \f{\om}^\rh{}_\nu \ga_{\mu\rh}
$$
using [[Clifford basis identities]].
Any fiber element, $C$, at $t=0$ may be [[parallel transport]]ed to $C(t)=U(t)CU^-$ along a path on the base by a parameter dependent Clifford element, the path holonomy, $U(t) = Pe^{- \ha \int_0^t \f{\om}}$, satisfying the [[path holonomy]] equation,
$$
\fr{d}{dt} U(t) = - \ha \ve{v} \f{\om} U
$$
Applying the covariant derivative twice (being careful with the signs of 1-forms hopping sides),
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na} \f{\na} C &=& \f{d} \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{\om} C - \ha C \f{\om} \rp + \ha \f{\om} \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{\om} C - \ha C \f{\om} \rp + \ha \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{\om} C - \ha C \f{\om} \rp \f{\om} \\
&=& \ha \lp \f{d} \f{\om} \rp C - \ha \f{\om} \f{d} C - \ha \lp \f{d} C \rp \f{\om} - \ha C \f{d} \f{\om}
+ \ha \f{\om} \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{\om} C - \ha C \f{\om} \rp + \ha \lp \f{d} C + \ha \f{\om} C - \ha C \f{\om} \rp \f{\om} \\
&=& \ff{R} \times C
\end{eqnarray}
with the [[Clifford-Riemann curvature]],
$$
\ff{R} = \f{d} \f{\om} + \ha \f{\om} \times \f{\om}
$$
This expression for the curvature may alternatively be obtained from the [[holonomy]] (minding the new factor of $\ha$ in the path holonomy equation).
Under a gauge transformation, $C(x) \mapsto C'(x) = U(x) C(x) U^-(x)$, the covariant derivative changes to
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na'} C' &=& U \lp \f{\na} C \rp U^-\\
\f{d} \lp U C U^- \rp + \ha \f{\om'} U C U^- - \ha U C U^- \f{\om'} &=& U \lp \f{d} C \rp U^- + \ha U \f{\om} C U^- - \ha U C \f{\om} U^-
\end{eqnarray}
giving the transformation law for the spin connection,
$$
\f{\om'} = U \f{\om} U^- - 2 \lp \f{d} U \rp U^- = U \f{\om} U^- + 2 U \lp \f{d} U^- \rp
$$
An infinitesimal transformation, $U \simeq 1 + \ha B$, in which $B$ is a Clifford bivector, changes the spin connection to
$$
\f{\om'} \simeq \f{\om} - \f{d} B - \ha \f{\om} B + \ha B \f{\om} = \f{\om} - \f{\na} B
$$
The curvature consequently transforms under a gauge transformation to
$$
\ff{R'} = \f{d} \f{\om'} + \ha \f{\om'} \times \f{\om'} = U \ff{R} U^- \simeq \ff{R} + B \times \ff{R}
$$
These expressions equate to those for a [[tangent bundle gauge transformation]].
The covariant derivative acting on a [[Clifform]] such as the curvature, transforming under a Clifford rotation, $\ff{F'} = U \ff{F} U^-$, is still
$$
\f{\na} \ff{F} = \f{d} \ff{F} + \f{\om} \times \ff{F}
$$
We can also define the [[Clifford covariant derivative]] by [[Cliffordization]], $\na = \ve{e} \f{\na}$, which can be used to help reformulate expressions involving forms to expressions using Clifford elements.
Clifford vector bundles or graded Clifford bundles may alternatively be defined as [[automorphism bundle]]s -- for which outer automorphisms may prove interesting.
The ''Clifford-Ricci curvature'' is a [[Clifform]] obtained by taking the [[cross product|Clifford algebra]] of the [[frame]] with the [[Clifford bundle]] curvature,
$$
\f{R} = \ve{e} \times \ff{F}
$$
If, specifically, we are working with the [[Clifford vector bundle]], the Clifford-Ricci curvature is then a Clifford vector valued 1-form,
$$
\f{R} = \f{dx^i} R_i{}^\al \ga_\al = \ve{e} \times \ff{R} = \ve{e} \times \lp \f{d} \f{\om} + \ha \f{\om} \times \f{\om} \rp
$$
with coefficients equal to those of the [[Ricci curvature]], $R_i{}^\al = \lp e_\be \rp^j R_{ji}{}^{\be \al} = \et^{\al \be} R_{i \be}$.
The ''Clifford curvature'' is a [[Clifform]] describing the [[curvature]] of a [[Clifford bundle]],
$$
\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{A} + \ha \f{A} \times \f{A}
$$
If, specifically, we are working with the [[Clifford vector bundle]], the Clifford curvature is then the ''Clifford-Riemann curvature'', a Clifford bivector valued 2-form calculated from the [[spin connection]],
$$
\ff{R} = \f{d} \f{\om} + \ha \f{\om} \times \f{\om} = \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \fr{1}{4} R_{ij}{}^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be}
$$
$$
R_{ij}{}^{\al \be} = 2 \pa_{\lb i \rd} \om_{\ld j \rb}{}^{\al \be} + 2 \om_{\lb i \rd}{}^\al{}_\ga \om_{\ld j \rb}{}^{\ga \be}
$$
with coefficients equal to those of the [[Riemann curvature]], $R_{ij}{}^{\al\be}$, when the [[tangent bundle connection]] and spin connection coefficients are identified, $\f{w}^{\al\be}=\f{\om}^{\al\be}$.
Physically, at every [[manifold]] point, the [[frame]] encodes a map from [[tangent vector]]s to vectors in a [[rest frame]]. Using the [[Clifford vector]] valued coframe, $\f{e}$, any (unitless) tangent vector, $\ve{v}$, on the manifold may be ''Cliffordized'' to its associated (temporal, $[v]=T$) Clifford vector, $v = \ve{v} \f{e}$, via [[vector-form algebra]],
$$
\ve{v} = v^\al \ve{e_\al} \;\;\; \leftrightarrow \;\;\; v = \ve{v} \f{e} = v^i \ve{\pa_i} \f{dx^j} \lp e_j \rp^\al \ga_\al = v^i \lp e_i \rp^\al \ga_\al = v^\al \ga_\al
$$
Similarly, using the frame, $\ve{e}$, any [[differential form]], $\f{f}$, at a point on the manifold may be Cliffordized to its corresponding Clifford vector in a [[rest frame]],
$$
\f{f} = \f{e^\al} f_\al \;\;\; \leftrightarrow \;\;\; f = \ve{e} \f{f} = \ga^\al \lp e_\al \rp^i \ve{\pa_i} \f{dx^j} f_j = \ga^\al \lp e_\al \rp^i f_i = f_\al \ga^\al
$$
Also, differential p-forms may be Cliffordized to Clifford p-vectors, such as $b = \ve{e} \ve{e} \ff{b}$.
A field, $\ve{v}(x)$ or $\f{a}(x)$, that is a section of the [[tangent bundle]] or [[cotangent bundle]], can similarly be Cliffordized to a section, $v(x)$ or $a(x)$, of the associated [[Clifford vector bundle]].
A ''Clifform'' is a [[Clifford algebra]] valued [[differential form]], or, conversely, a [[Clifford element]] with form valued coefficients. A Clifform has a single form grade, $p$, but may consist of pieces with different Clifford grades. In terms of [[coordinate basis forms]] and [[Clifford basis elements]], an arbitrary Clifform may be written as
$$
\nf{A} = \f{dx^i} \dots \f{dx^k} \fr{1}{p!} \lp A_{i \dots k}{}^s + A_{i \dots k}{}^\al \ga_\al + \ha A_{i \dots k}{}^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be} + \fr{1}{3!} A_{i \dots k}{}^{\al \be \ga} \ga_{\al \be \ga} + \dots + A_{i \dots k}{}^p \ga \rp
$$
For example, a bivector 2-form is written (using the coordinate or [[frame]] basis forms) as
$$
\ff{R} = \ff{R^2} = \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \fr{1}{4} R_{ij}{}^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be}
= \f{e^\ga} \f{e^\de} \fr{1}{4} R_{\ga \de}{}^{\al \be} \ga_{\al \be}
$$
The form elements and Clifford elements act in different algebras. All scalar valued form elements commute with all Clifford basis elements. By convention, the form basis elements will be collected on the left and the Clifford basis elements on the right.
The product of Clifforms may be computed using [[Clifform algebra]]. A Clifform is a [[Lieform]] in which the [[Lie algebra]] generators are Clifford basis elements.
The algebra of [[Clifform]]s is the disjoint union of [[vector-form algebra]] and [[Clifford algebra]]. When performing calculations, it is best to move all [[coordinate basis 1-forms]] to the left of the expression (without commuting them) and all [[Clifford basis elements]] (and the operations between them) to the right. Then the basis contractions and products play out in their independent algebraic sandboxes. Clifford algebra operators like $\cdot$, $\times$, $[,]$, and $<>_q$ do not act on the forms, only on the Clifford basis elements. As an example, the dot product of a bivector (-2)-form and a bivector 2-form is a scalar plus a 4-vector,
\begin{eqnarray}
\vv{L} \cdot \ff{R} &=& \lp \ve{\pa_i} \ve{\pa_j} \fr{1}{4} L^{i j \al \be} \ga_{\al \be} \rp \cdot \lp \f{dx^k} \f{dx^m} \fr{1}{4} R_{km}{}^{\ga \de} \ga_{\ga \de} \rp\\
&=& \lp \ve{\pa_i} \ve{\pa_j} \lp \f{dx^k} \f{dx^m} \rp \rp \fr{1}{16} L^{i j \al \be} R_{km}{}^{\ga \de} \lp \ga_{\al \be} \cdot \ga_{\ga \de} \rp\\
&=& \lp - 2 \de_i^{\lb k \rd} \delta_j^{\ld m \rb} \rp \fr{1}{16} L^{i j \al \be} R_{km}{}^{\ga \de} \lp \lp \et_{\al \de} \et_{\be \ga} - \et_{\al \ga} \et_{\be \de} \rp + \ga_{\al \be \ga \de} \rp\\
&=& - \fr{1}{8} L^{i j \al \be} R_{ij}{}^{\ga \de} \lp \lp \et_{\al \de} \et_{\be \ga} - \et_{\al \ga} \et_{\be \de} \rp + \ga_{\al \be \ga \de} \rp\\
&=& \fr{1}{4} L^{i j \al \be} R_{ij \al \be} - \fr{1}{8} L^{i j \al \be} R_{ij}{}^{\ga \de} \ga_{\al \be \ga \de}\\
\end{eqnarray}
using vector-form algebra and [[Clifford basis identities]].
Clifform product identities can be inferred from the identities of the two respective algebras. For example, since 1-forms anti-commute,
\[ \f{A} \ti \f{B} = \ha \lp \f{A} \f{B} + \f{B} \f{A} \rp = \f{B} \ti \f{A} \]
Some useful identities can be computed using the [[frame]]. For example, for any Clifford vector valued 2-form, $\ff{f}$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ve{e} \ti \ff{f} & = & -\lp \ve{e} \ti \ve{e} \rp \lp \f{e} \cdot \ff{f} \rp + \ve{e} \ti \lp \lp \ve{e} \ti \ff{f} \rp \ti \f{e} \rp\\
\ff{f} & = & \lp \ve{e} \ti \ff{f} \rp \ti \f{e} - \ve{e} \cdot \lp \f{e} \cdot \ff{f} \rp\\
\lp n-2 \rp \ff{f} & = & \ve{e} \ti \lp \f{e} \ti \ff{f} \rp - \f{e} \cdot \lp \ve{e} \cdot \ff{f} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
(//add identities as needed//)
The [[Coleman-Mandula theorem|http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v159/i5/p1251_1]] states:
<<<
Let G be a connected symmetry group of the S matrix, and let the following five conditions hold: (1) G contains a subgroup locally isomorphic to the Poincare group. (2) For any M>0, there are only a finite number of one-particle states with mass less than M. (3) Elastic scattering amplitudes are analytic functions of s and t, in some neighborhood of the physical region. (4) The S matrix is nontrivial in the sense that any two one-particle momentum eigenstates scatter (into something), except perhaps at isolated values of s. (5) The generators of G, written as integral operators in momentum space, have distributions for their kernels. Then, we show that G is necessarily locally isomorphic to the direct product of an internal symmetry group and the Poincare group.
<<<
The E8 theory proposed in [[An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything]] avoids condition (1) of this theorem because $G = E8$ does not containing a subgroup locally isomorphic to the Poincare group. The expected vacuum spacetime of E8 theory is [[de Sitter spacetime]], which has $SO(4,1)$ as symmetry group, which is nearly, but not, the Poincare group. At low energies the deviation from the Poincare group is infinitesimally small, and the Coleman-Mandula theorem applies to a good approximation, with gravity separate from the other symmetries.
Also, more fundamentally, before E8 symmetry breaking there is no spacetime. Only after symmetry breaking is there a [[frame]] and [[spacetime]], and no mixing with gauge groups, and thus the theorem is satisfied.

|Description|show/hide content of a tiddler while leaving tiddler title visible|
This plugin provides commands to quickly switch a rendered tiddler between its current ViewTemplate display and a minimal display (title and toolbar) defined by a separate CollapsedTemplate.
!!!Usage
<<<
In [[ToolbarCommands::ViewToolbar|ToolbarCommands]], add:
{{{
collapseTiddler collapseOthers
}}}
you can also embed the following macros in tiddler content:
*{{{<<collapseAll>>}}} - adds 'collapse all' command that applies CollapsedTemplate to each displayed tiddler
*{{{<<expandAll>>}}} - adds 'expand all' command that re-applies ViewTemplate (or equivalent custom template) to each displayed tiddler
*{{{<<foldFirst>>}}} - immediately apply CollapsedTemplate to a given tiddler, as soon as it is displayed.
<<<
!!!Revisions
<<<
2009.05.04 [2.0.0] standardized documentation and added version #
2008.10.05 collapseAll() and expandAll(): added "return false" to button handlers to prevent IE page transition
2008.03.06 refactored all code for size reduction, readability, and I18N/L10N-readiness. Also added 'folded' flag to tiddler elements (for use by other plugins that need to know if tiddler is folded (e.g., [[SinglePageModePlugin]]
2007.10.11 moved [[FoldFirst]] inline script and converted to {{{<<foldFirst>>}}} macro
2007.12.09 suspend/resume SinglePageMode (SPM/TPM/BPM) when folding/unfolding tiddlers
2007.05.06 add "return false" at the end of each command handler to prevent IE 'page transition' problem.
2007.03.30 add a shadow definition for CollapsedTemplate. Tweak ViewTemplate shadow so "fold/unfold" and "focus" toolbar items automatically appear when using default templates. Remove error check for "CollapsedTemplate" existence, since shadow version will now always work as a fallback.
2006.02.24 added fallback to "CollapsedTemplate" if "WebCollapsedTemplate" is not found
2006.02.06 added check for 'readOnly' flag to use alternative "WebCollapsedTemplate"

[[Consequences of Propagating Torsion in Connection-Dynamic Theories of Gravity|papers/9403058.pdf]]
Authors: Sean M. Carroll, George B. Field
We discuss the possibility of constraining theories of gravity in which the connection is a fundamental variable by searching for observational consequences of the torsion degrees of freedom. In a wide class of models, the only modes of the torsion tensor which interact with matter are either a massive scalar or a massive spin-1 boson. Focusing on the scalar version, we study constraints on the two-dimensional parameter space characterizing the theory. For reasonable choices of these parameters the torsion decays quickly into matter fields, and no long-range fields are generated which could be discovered by ground-based or astrophysical experiments.

|Description|Quickly create a copy of any existing tiddler|
!!!Usage
<<<
The plugin automatically updates the default (shadow) ToolbarCommands definitions to insert the ''copyTiddler'' command, which will appear as ''copy'' when a tiddler is rendered. If you are already using customized toolbar definitions, you will need to manually add the ''copyTiddler'' toolbar command to your existing ToolbarCommands tiddler, e.g.:
{{{
|EditToolbar|... copyTiddler ... |
}}}
When the ''copy'' command is selected, a new tiddler is created containing an exact copy of the current text/tags/fields, using a title of "{{{TiddlerName (n)}}}", where ''(n)'' is the next available number (starting with 1, of course). If you copy while //editing// a tiddler, the current values displayed in the editor are used (including any changes you may have already made to those values), and the new tiddler is immediately opened for editing.
The plugin also provides a macro that allows you to embed a ''copy'' command directly in specific tiddler content:
{{{
<<copyTiddler TidderName label:"..." prompt:"...">>
}}}
where
* ''TiddlerName'' (optional)<br>specifies the //source// tiddler to be copied. If omitted, the current containing tiddler (if any) will be copied.
* ''label:"..."'' (optional)<br>specifies text to use for the embedded link (default="copy TiddlerName")
* ''prompt:"..."'' (optional)<br>specifies mouseover 'tooltip' help text for link
//Note: to use non-default label/prompt values with the current containing tiddler, use "" for the TiddlerName//

The kinetic [[Lagrangian density|action]] for a [[Dirac spinor]] field in curved [[spacetime]] is
$$
{\cal L}_{\Psi K} = i \bar{\Psi} \ve{e} \lp \f{d} + \ha \f{\om} \rp \Psi
$$
in which $\bar{\Psi}$ is the [[Dirac adjoint]]. //(that's not necessarily real...but maybe it is, up to a divergence term?)// Using the [[chiral]] representation for the [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Dirac matrices]], the [[spacetime frame]] and [[spacetime spin connection]] break up to give
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\Psi K} &=& i \lb \psi_L^\da \;\; \psi_R^\da \rb
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 1 \\
1 & 0
\end{array} \rb

\end{eqnarray}
in terms of the partnered [[Weyl spinor]]s. The full Dirac Lagrangian, including interaction with Higgs and gauge fields, can be written using the [[massive Dirac operator|Dirac operator]] as
$$
{\cal L}_{\Psi} = i \bar{\Psi} \not{\!\!D} \Psi
$$
The Lagrangian density corresponds to a 4-form over [[spacetime]],
$$
\nf{{\cal L}_{\Psi}} = \nf{e} \, {\cal L}_{\Psi}
$$
using the [[volume form]]. This 4-form in curved spacetime can also be expressed using volume form [[permutation identities]] and the [[massive covariant derivative|Dirac operator]] as
$$
\nf{{\cal L}_{\Psi}} = i \bar{\Psi} \nf{e} \ve{e} \f{D} \Psi
= \fr{i}{3!} \bar{\Psi} \, \ga^- \f{e} \f{e} \f{e} \f{D} \Psi
$$
or something like that.
Adding mass and [[gauge field|principal bundle]] interactions, the full Lagrangian density for a Dirac spinor field in curved spacetime is
$$
\ba{rcl}
{\cal L}_{\Psi} \ae i \bar{\Psi} \ve{e} \lp \f{d} + \ha \f{\om} + \fr{i}{4} \f{e} m + \f{A} \rp \Psi \\
\ae \bar{\Psi} \lp i \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^i \lp \pa_i + \ha \om_i + A_i \rp - m \rp \Psi \\
\ea
$$
In flat spacetime this is
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\Psi} &=& \bar{\Psi} \lp i \ga^\mu \pa_\mu + i \ga^\mu A_\mu - m \rp \Psi \\
&=& i \ps_L^\da \si^\mu (\pa_\mu + A_\mu) \ps_L + i \ps_R^\da \bar{\si}^\mu (\pa_\mu + A_\mu) \ps_R - m \lp \ps_R^\da \ps_L + \ps_L^\da \ps_R \rp
\end{eqnarray}
using [[Pauli matrices]].
The [[Dirac Lagrangian]] density in curved spacetime,
$$
{\cal L}_{\Ps} = i \bar{\Ps} \ve{e} \lp \f{d} + \ha \f{\om} + \fr{i}{4} \f{e} m + \f{A} \rp \Ps
$$
is invariant under any [[local Clifford rotation]]. This is evident by using the transformed fields to get
$$
{\cal L}_{\Ps} \to {\cal L}_{\Ps}' = i \bar{\Ps} U^- U \ve{e} \, U^- \lp \f{d} + \ha U \f{\om} \, U^- + U \f{d} \, U^- + \fr{i}{4} U \f{e} \, U^- m + \f{A} \rp U \Ps = {\cal L}_{\Ps}

{\cal L}_{\Ps} = i \bar{\Ps} \ve{e} \lp \f{d} + \ha \f{\om} + \fr{i}{4} \f{e} m + \f{A} \rp \Ps

$$
\ba{rcl}
{\cal L}_{\Ps}(x) \to {\cal L}'_{\Ps}(x) \ae
i \bar{\Ps}' \ve{e}' \lp \f{d} + \ha \f{\om}' + \fr{i}{4} \f{e}' m + \f{A}' \rp \Ps'(x) \\

The ''Dirac adjoint'' of a [[Dirac spinor]] field, $\ud{\Ps}$, is the [[conjugate spinor]],
$$
\bar{\Psi} = \od{\Psi}^\da \ga^0
$$
in which $\ga^0$ is the temporal [[Dirac matrix|Dirac matrices]] and the [[Hermitian]] conjugate is the complex conjugate of the transpose, $\bar{\Psi} = \od{\Psi}^{T*}$.
A Dirac spinor contracted with its adjoint is a scalar,
$$
\bar{\Psi} \ud{\Psi} =
\lb \od{\psi}_L^\da \;\; \od{\psi}_R^\da \rb
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 1 \\
1 & 0
\end{array} \rb
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ud{\psi}_L \\
\ud{\psi}_R
\end{array} \rb
=
\od{\psi}_L^\da \ud{\psi}_R + \od{\psi}_R^\da \ud{\psi}_L
$$
using chiral Dirac matrices and partnered [[Weyl spinor]]s. If the fermion fields are [[Grassmann number]] fields this contraction gives a pure imaginary number, since
$$
\lp \od{\psi}_L^\da \ud{\psi}_R + \od{\psi}_R^\da \ud{\psi}_L \rp^\da = - \od{\psi}_R^\da \ud{\psi}_L - \od{\psi}_L^\da \ud{\psi}_R
$$
And this contraction is invariant under spacetime [[Clifford rotation]], due to how a Dirac spinor transforms and how the corresponding exponential of a [[Cl(1,3) bivector]] behaves under the adjoint,
$$
\bar{\Psi}' \ud{\Psi}' = \lp U \od{\Psi} \rp^\da \ga^0 U \ud{\Ps} = \od{\Psi}^\da U^\da \ga^0 U \ud{\Ps}
= \od{\Psi}^\da \ga^0 U^- \ga_0 \ga^0 U \ud{\Ps} = \bar{\Psi} \ud{\Psi}
$$
The ''Dirac delta function'', $\de(x)$, casually defined, is a singular distribution that multiplies an integrand to produce the value of that integrand at a point,
$$
\int{dx} \, f(x) \de(x) = f(0)
$$
This can be defined somewhat more precisely, using a [[Fourier transform]], as
$$
\de(x) = \int{\fr{dp}{2 \pi}} e^{i x p}
$$
in which we see that $\de(x)$ is the inverse Fourier transform of $\de'(p)=1$.
From the [[Dirac Lagrangian]], the ''Dirac equation'' for a [[Dirac spinor]] field in curved [[spacetime]] with background Higgs and gauge fields is
$$
0 = i \not{\!\!D} \Psi = i \ve{e} \, \f{D} \Psi = i \ga^\mu \lp e_\mu \rp^a \lp \pa_a + \fr{1}{4} \om_a{}^{\nu \rh} \ga_{\nu \rh} + G_a{}^B T_B \rp \Psi - \ph_0 \Psi
$$
In a [[rest frame]] in the absence of gauge fields, and with a Higgs background of $\ph_0 = m$, using chiral [[Dirac matrices]], this is
$$
0 = i \ga^\mu \pa_\mu \Psi - m \Psi =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
-m & i \pa_0 + i \si_\va \pa_\va \\
i \pa_0 - i \si_\va \pa_\va & -m
\end{array} \rb
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_L \\
\ps_R
\end{array} \rb
$$
which is satisfied by [[Dirac solutions]]. For the massless case, the left and right chiral ''Weyl equation''s for the [[Weyl spinor]] parts are
$$
0 = \lp i \pa_0 \mp i \si_\va \pa_\va \rp \psi_{L/R}
$$
or $0=i \si^\mu \pa_\mu \ps_L$ and $0=i \bar{\si}^\mu \pa_\mu \ps_R$ using extended [[Pauli matrices]], and are satisfied by [[Weyl solutions]].

The ''Dirac matrices'' provide a $4\times4$ [[Clifford matrix representation]] of [[Cl(1,3)]] or [[Cl(3,1)]]. There are several standard choices, built from the [[Kronecker product]] of [[Pauli matrices]]:
The ([[chiral]]) ''Weyl representation'' of the Dirac matrices of Cl(1,3) is:
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_0 &=& \;\;\;\, \si_1 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga_1 &=& -i \si_2 \otimes \si_1 \\
\ga_2 &=& -i \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \\
\ga_3 &=& -i \si_2 \otimes \si_3
\end{eqnarray}
giving a complex rep for ''Cl(1,3) vectors'',
\begin{eqnarray}
v &=& v^\mu \ga_\mu =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v_L \\
v_R & 0
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v^\mu \bar{\si}_\mu \\
v^\mu \si_\mu & 0
\end{array} \rb
\\
&=&
\lb \begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & v^0-v^3 & -v^1+iv^2 \\
0 & 0 & -v^1-iv^2 & v^0+v^3 \\
v^0+v^3 & v^1-iv^2 & 0 & 0 \\
v^1+iv^2 & v^0-v^3 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \rb
\end{eqnarray}
in which $\bar{\si}_\mu$ are the conjugate [[Pauli matrices]] and the ''left and right chiral vector'' parts,
$$
v_{L/R} = v^0 \si_0 \mp v^\va \si_\va
$$
are $2\times2$ Hermitian matrices projected out by the [[left/right chirality projector]]. Note the curious fact that the [[determinant]] of a chiral vector is its norm, $\det v_{L/R} = v^\mu v_\mu = | v |^2$. The ''spacetime [[pseudoscalar]]'' is

\ga = \ga_0 \ga_1 \ga_2 \ga_3 = - i \si_3 \otimes \si_0 = \lb \begin{array}{cc} - i & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{array} \rb
$$
and these Dirac matrices satisfy $\ga^*_\mu = \ga_2 \ga_\mu \ga_2$ and $\ga_\mu^\da = \ga_0 \ga_\mu \ga_0$.
Alternatively, there is a ''Dirac representation'' of CL(1,3),
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_0 &=& \;\, - \si_3 \otimes \si_0 \\
\ga_\va &=& -i \, \si_2 \otimes \si_\va
\end{eqnarray}
And there is also a (real) ''Majorana representation'' of Cl(3,1),
\begin{eqnarray}
\ga_0 &=& \;\; i \, \si_1 \otimes \si_2 \\
\ga_1 &=& \;\; \;\; \si_0 \otimes \si_1 \\
\ga_2 &=& \;\; \;\; \si_2 \otimes \si_2 \\
\ga_3 &=& \;\; \;\; \si_0 \otimes \si_3 \\
\ga &=& - i \, \si_3 \otimes \si_2 \\
\end{eqnarray}
Multiplying these matrices by $i$ switches them between representations of Cl(1,3) and Cl(3,1).
The different matrix representations may be related by ''similarity transformation''s. For example, the Majorana rep is given in terms of the Weyl rep by $\ga^M_\mu = U \ga^W_\mu U^\da$, with (recalculate this)
$$
U = \ha
\lb \begin{array}{cccc}
1 & i & 1 & -i \\
i & 1 & i & -1 \\
1 & -i & -1 & -i \\
-i & 1 & i & 1
\end{array} \rb
$$
And the Weyl and Dirac equations are related by $U = e^{i \fr{\pi}{4} \ga^0 \ga}$.

If $\Psi$ is a [[spinor]] field and $\f{A} \in \f{\mathfrak{g}}$ a [[principal bundle]] connection in a representation matched to the spinor, the [[covariant derivative]] of the spinor field is
$$
\f{\na} \Psi = \lp \f{d} + \f{A} \rp \Psi
$$
Note that $\f{A}$ includes the [[spin connection]], $\f{\om}$ (as the connection for the [[Clifford vector bundle]] subbundle of the full principal bundle) and usually other parts, which will be written as $\f{G}$, so
$$
\f{A} = \ha \f{\om} + \f{G}
$$
If we write the [[frame]] over the base manifold as $\ve{e} = \ga^\mu \ve{e_\mu}$, the ''Dirac operator'', $\not{\!\!\na}=\ve{e} \, \f{\na}$ acting on the spinor is defined as
$$
\not{\!\!\na} \Psi = \ve{e} \, \f{\na} \Psi = \ga^\mu \lp e_\mu \rp^i \lp \pa_i + \fr{1}{4} \om_i{}^{\nu \rh} \ga_{\nu \rh} + G_i{}^B T_B \rp \Psi
$$
using the [[vector-form algebra]]. Note that the relation to the [[Clifford covariant derivative]] operator. If there is a background Higgs field, $\ph_0$, interacting with fermions to give them mass, then we can define the ''massive covariant derivative'' in curved spacetime as
$$
\f{D} \Psi = \lp \f{d} + \ha \f{\om} + \fr{1}{4} \f{e} \ph_0 + \f{G} \rp \Psi
$$
and the massive Dirac operator as
$$
\not{\!\!D} \Psi = \ve{e} \, \f{D} \Psi = \ga^\mu \lp e_\mu \rp^i \lp \pa_i + \fr{1}{4} \om_i{}^{\nu \rh} \ga_{\nu \rh} + G_i{}^B T_B \rp \Psi + \ph_0 \Psi
$$
[[Dirac solutions]] interrelate via several identities, related to the [[Pauli matrix|Pauli matrices]] identity, $\si_\va^* = \ep \, \si_\va \ep$, using the [[skew]] and chiral [[Dirac matrices]],

\s \s
\ga_{13} \, v_{-p}^{\wedge/\vee \, *} = + \, u_p^{\wedge/\vee}

The positive and negative energy solutions of different spins can be related by combining all three of these, using the [[CPT group]], to get identities related to [[CPT symmetry]],

Note that we have chosen $u'{}_p^{\wedge/\vee}$ and $v'{}_p^{\wedge/\vee}$ such that they are oppositely signed eigenvectors of the [[spin operator]], $S_z = -\fr{i}{2} \ga_1\ga_2 = \ha \si_0 \otimes \si_3$, in the rest frame -- specifically, $S_z u'{}_0^{\wedge/\vee} = \pm \ha u'{}_0^{\wedge/\vee}$ and $S_z v'{}_0^{\wedge/\vee} = \mp \ha v'{}_0^{\wedge/\vee}$. And they are [[charge conjugate]]s,

These solutions are not normalized, but are well behaved at $m=0$. Normalized solutions, satisfying $\bar{u}u = u^\da \ga_0 u =1$ and $\bar{v} v=-1$ (using the [[Dirac adjoint]]), are [[Lorentz boost]]ed solutions of the rest frame solution, and can be written as

A ''Dirac [[spinor]]'', $\Psi$, of the [[spacetime]] [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Clifford algebra]] may be written, using the [[Weyl representation|Dirac matrices]], as a sum of ''left-[[chiral]]'' and ''right-chiral'' parts,
$$
\Psi = \Psi_L + \Psi_R =
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_L \\
0
\end {array} \rb
+
\lb \begin{array}{c}
0 \\
\ps_R

\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_L \\

=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_L^\wedge \\
\ps_L^\vee \\
\ps_R^\wedge \\
\ps_R^\vee
\end {array} \rb
$$
These parts are left and right handed [[Weyl spinor]]s, $\ps_L$ and $\ps_R$, which may be projected out,
$$
\Psi_{L/R} = P_{L/R} \Psi
$$
by the [[left/right chirality projector]],
$$
P_{L/R} = \ha \lp 1 \pm i \ga \rp
$$
(In this equation, the four component column with two zero entries is equated to a two component column.)
Under a [[Lorentz rotation]], such as a [[spatial rotation]] or [[Lorentz boost]], a Dirac spinor transforms via half of a [[Clifford rotation]], $\Ps'(x') = U \Ps = e^{\ha B} \Ps (x)$ -- a Dirac spinor is an element of the complex pinor [[representation space]] of the [[spacetime spin group]].
A ''Dirac spinor field'' over spacetime, $\ud{\Ps}(x)$, is a [[Grassmann number]] field or operator over spacetime, which we often conflate with a Dirac spinor.

|Description|selectively disable TiddlyWiki's automatic ~WikiWord linking behavior|
This plugin allows you to disable TiddlyWiki's automatic ~WikiWord linking behavior, so that WikiWords embedded in tiddler content will be rendered as regular text, instead of being automatically converted to tiddler links. To create a tiddler link when automatic linking is disabled, you must enclose the link text within {{{[[...]]}}}.
!!!!!Usage
<<<
You can block automatic WikiWord linking behavior for any specific tiddler by ''tagging it with<<tag excludeWikiWords>>'' (see configuration below) or, check a plugin option to disable automatic WikiWord links to non-existing tiddler titles, while still linking WikiWords that correspond to existing tiddlers titles or shadow tiddler titles. You can also block specific selected WikiWords from being automatically linked by listing them in [[DisableWikiLinksList]] (see configuration below), separated by whitespace. This tiddler is optional and, when present, causes the listed words to always be excluded, even if automatic linking of other WikiWords is being permitted.
Note: WikiWords contained in default ''shadow'' tiddlers will be automatically linked unless you select an additional checkbox option lets you disable these automatic links as well, though this is not recommended, since it can make it more difficult to access some TiddlyWiki standard default content (such as AdvancedOptions or SideBarTabs)
<<<
!!!!!Configuration
G disabled these so that WikiLinks would never happen.
<<<
<<option chkDisableWikiLinks>> Disable ALL automatic WikiWord tiddler links
<<option chkAllowLinksFromShadowTiddlers>> ... except for WikiWords //contained in// shadow tiddlers
<<option chkDisableNonExistingWikiLinks>> Disable automatic WikiWord links for non-existing tiddlers
Disable automatic WikiWord links for words listed in: <<option txtDisableWikiLinksList>>
Disable automatic WikiWord links for tiddlers tagged with: <<option txtDisableWikiLinksTag>>
<<<
!!!!!Revisions
<<<
2008.07.22 [1.6.0] hijack tiddler changed() method to filter disabled wiki words from internal links[] array (so they won't appear in the missing tiddlers list)
2007.06.09 [1.5.0] added configurable txtDisableWikiLinksTag (default value: "excludeWikiWords") to allows selective disabling of automatic WikiWord links for any tiddler tagged with that value.

2006.12.09 [1.2.1] revised logic for handling links in shadow content
2006.12.08 [1.2.0] added hijack of Tiddler.prototype.autoLinkWikiWords so regular (non-bracketed) WikiWords won't be added to the missing list
2006.05.24 [1.1.0] added option to NOT bypass automatic wikiword links when displaying default shadow content (default is to auto-link shadow content)
2006.02.05 [1.0.1] wrapped wikifier hijack in init function to eliminate globals and avoid FireFox 1.5.0.1 crash bug when referencing globals

<<tiddler HideTags>>What is done:
*All [[gauge fields|connection]], [[gravity|spacetime]], and Higgs in ''one'' [[connection]], with fermions as [[BRST ghosts|BRST technique]].
To do:
*Will particle assignments work with [[E8]]? (Get the CKMPMNS matrix?)
*Why is the action what it is? (How does symmetry breaking happen?)
*Is a four dimensional base [[manifold]] emergent?
*How does this theory get quantized? (LQG methods should apply.)
**Natural explanation for QM as a bonus?
What this theory will mean, if it all works:
*Gravitational [[frame]] and Higgs are intimately related.
*Naturally combines standard model with gravity -- so it's a [[T.O.E.|theory of everything]]
**(It's also a U.F.T., but I don't like to call it that.)
*Our universe is a very pretty shape!

[<img[images/png/dynkin g2.png]]A ''Dynkin diagram'' graphically summarizes the Cartan matrix of a [[root system]]. The $R$ nodes correspond to the $R$ simple roots, with one, two, or three lines connecting nodes corresponding to simple roots subtending an angle of $120^ \circ$, $135^\circ$, or $150^\circ$. The corresponding ratios of simple root lengths must be $1$, $\sqrt{2}$, and $\sqrt{3}$; in the diagram, the longer root is indicated by a $<$ symbol.
Use the e10 Kac-Moody algebra for unification, possibly including quantized states.

The E10 lattice is the integral span of the simple roots, ${II}_{9,1}$ -- the even self-dual Lorentzian lattice in 10D. (The algebrafication of this lattice, ${\frak g}_{{II}_{9,1}}$, is called a Borcherds algebra.) All ${II}_{9,1}$ lattice points with length less than or equal to $2$ are roots of E10. (Ref: Persson) Real roots have multiplicity $1$ (one Lie algebra generator per root). Real roots are "prime" -- they cannot be written as some multiple of another root. Imaginary roots, having zero or negative length, have lengths $\{ 0,-2,-4, ... \}$, and larger multiplicities. Roots of length zero are "null roots" and have multiplicity $8$, while "light-like roots" of negative length have higher multiplicities, such as $44$ for roots of length $-2$. Some imaginary roots, such as $n \de$ for any $n$, are not prime, but have the same multiplicities. Multiplicities for all imaginary roots are not currently known.
Some interesting imaginary roots can be found by inverting the Cartan matrix,

A null root, from reading off the top, is
$$
\de = 0 \al_{-1} - 1 \al_{0} - 2 \al_{1} - 3 \al_{2} - 4 \al_{3} - 5 \al_{4} - 6 \al_{5} - 4 \al_{6} - 2 \al_{7} - 3 \al_{8} = (1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,i)
$$
The ''affine level'' of a root is $ - k_0 = < \al, \de >$. (For the [[e9]] subalgebra, all imaginary roots are multiples of this $\de$.) Some light-like roots of e10, of lengths $-2$ and $-4$, are
$$
-1 \al_{-1} -2 \al_{0} - 4 \al_{1} - 6 \al_{2} - 8 \al_{3} - 10 \al_{4} - 12 \al_{5} - 8 \al_{6} - 4 \al_{7} - 6 \al_{8} = (1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2i)
$$
and
$$
-2 \al_{-1} - 4 \al_{0} - 6 \al_{1} - 8 \al_{2} - 10 \al_{3} - 12 \al_{4} - 14 \al_{5} - 9 \al_{6} - 4 \al_{7} - 7 \al_{8} = (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2i)
$$
One can nicely decompose e10 into finite a9 reps at each level with respect to $\al_8$.

*Quantization
**Coupling constants run.
***Large $\La$ compatible with UV fixed point.
**Just a connection -- amenable to LQG, spin foams, etc.
*Understand triality-generation relationship better
**Possible collapse or mixing to graviweak $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$.
**The role of $\f{w}+\f{x}\Ph$ and symmetry breaking.
**Getting the CKMPMNS matrix would be nice.
*Why is the action what it is?
**Pulling $\f{e}$ out and putting it into $\ff{F} \ff{*F}$ and $\fff{\od{B}}$ seems weird.
***Why $\f{e}\ph$ simple?
***Four dimensional base manifold emergent?
What this theory will mean, if it all works:
*Combines standard model with gravity -- with LQG, it's a T.o.E.
*Our universe is very pretty.

!!Guidelines
*Keep the notes short — if it gets long, split it. Somewhere between a paragraph and a page is about right.
*Don't use objects or methods without linking references (once) for the reader.
*The first time you reference another object in a note, link to its eponymous note.
**If you reference an object defined in a non-eponymous note, link to it again by {{{[[object|note]]}}}.
*If you define some object, make the object name ''bold''.
**If you include a pseudonym for a defined object, make it //''bold italic''//.
*Include all steps of calculations, with the manipulations established from referenced notes.
*Link to [[Wikipedia|http://en.wikipedia.org/]] for standard stuff, or to arxiv papers and other things as needed.
*Include introduced symbols in the [[Symbols]] table.
*Include introduced tags in [[Tags]] and<<tag folder>>. //Don't do this often//
*Examples are OK, even if they run a little long.
*It is good to start a note as "A ''this thing'' is a kind of [[link to more general case]] which //more detailed properties//..."
*In general, don't link "down" to more specific instances -- that's what the "referenced by" button is for. Unless it seems pedagogically useful.
*Lateral (mutual) linking is OK, such as in the [[differential form]] note — for similar objects, special generalized cases, or extended discussions.
*Attempt to duplicate the same structure of links for similar structures of mathematical objects and instantiations.
*Links that establish a hierarchical relationship should probably be treated differently then links to define used objects -- but for now they're the same.
*If you link to a note that doesn't exist, create that note and tag it with<<tag 0>>if you leave it empty.
*Tag notes that desperately need editing with<<tag 0>>.
*Put editorial comments (//like this one//) in parens and italics.

The ''Ehresmann Cartan connection'', $\f{\ve{\cal C}}$, is an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] over the total space, $E_G$, of an [[Ehresmann Cartan geometry]]. In coordinates ($x$ over $M$ patches, $x_s$ over $G/H$ patches, and $y$ over $H$ patches) adapted to the reference sections, the Ehresmann Cartan connection may be written locally as
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\ve{\cal C}}(x, x_s, y) &=& \f{C^J}(x) \, \ve{\xi^L_J}(x_s, y) + \f{\ve{\cal I}} \\
&=& \f{C^J}(x) \, L^I{}_J(x_s, y) \, \ve{\xi^R_I}(x_s, y) + \f{\ve{\cal I}}
\end{eqnarray}
in which $\ve{\xi^L_J}$ and $\ve{\xi^R_J} \sim T_J$ are the [[left and right action vector fields|Lie group geometry]] for the fibers, $G_x$, the [[left-right rotator]] is
$$
L^I{}_J(x_s, y) = \ve{\xi^L_J} \f{\xi_R^I} = \lp T^I, g^-(x_s,y) \, T_J \, g(x_s,y) \rp
$$
the [[Ehresmann-Maurer-Cartan form|Maurer-Cartan form]] (the [[identity projection|vector projection]] along the fibers) is
$$
\f{\ve{\cal I}}(x_s,y) = \f{\xi_R^J} \ve{\xi^R_J} = \f{dx_s^a} \ve{\pa^s_a} + \f{dy^p} \ve{\pa_p} = \f{\ve{{\cal I}_{G/H}}} + \f{\ve{{\cal I}_H}}
$$
and $\f{C^J}(x)$ are the components of the [[Cartan connection|Cartan geometry]] over $M$. The Ehresmann Cartan connection is a projection, $\f{\ve{\cal C}} \f{\ve{\cal C}} = \f{\ve{\cal C}}$, is [[right invariant]], $R_g^*\f{\ve{\cal C}} = \f{\ve{\cal C}}$, and has a natural [[spectral decomposition|spectral decomposition of the Ehresmann principal bundle connection]]. It may also be written as a [[Lieform]] over the total space by [[contracting|vector-form algebra]] it with the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{\cal I}(x_s,y) = \f{\xi_R^J} T_J = g^- \f{d} g$, over the total space to get the ''Ehresmann Cartan connection form'',
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal C}(x,x_s,y) &=& \f{\ve{\cal C}} \f{\cal I} = \f{C^J}(x) \ve{\xi^L_J} \f{\xi_R^I} T_I + \f{\ve{\cal I}} \f{\cal I} \\
&=& \lp \f{C^J} L^I{}_J(x_s,y) + \f{\xi_R^I} \rp T_I \\
&=& g^-(x_s,y) \, \f{C}(x) \, g(x_s,y) + g^-(x_s,y) \, \f{d} \, g(x_s,y)
\end{eqnarray}
This form [[pulls back|pullback]] along the canonical reference section, $\si_0^G$, to give the Cartan connection,
$$
\si_0^{G*} \f{\cal C} = \f{C}(x)
$$
and satisfies $R_g^* \f{\cal C} = g^- \f{\cal C} g$ under the right action.
The ''[[FuN curvature]] of the Ehresmann Cartan connection'' is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\ve{\cal F}}(x,x_s,y) &=& - \ha \lb \f{\ve{\cal C}}, \f{\ve{\cal C}} \rb_L \\
&=& \lp \f{d} \f{C^K} + \ha \f{C^I} \f{C^J} C_{IJ}{}^K \rp \ve{\xi^L_K}(x_s,y)
\end{eqnarray}
which is vector valued in the vertical subspace and right invariant, $R_g^* \ff{\ve{\cal F}} = \ff{\ve{\cal F}}$. The ''FuN curvature form of the Ehresmann Cartan connection'' is a ${\frak g}$ valued 2-form over $E_G$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\cal F} &=& \ff{\ve{\cal F}} \f{\cal I} = \lp \f{d} \f{C^K} + \ha \f{C^I} \f{C^J} C_{IJ}{}^K \rp g^-(x_s,y) \, T_K \, g(x_s,y) \\
&=& g^-(x_s,y) \lp \f{d} \f{C} + \ha \lb \f{C}, \f{C} \rb \rp g(x_s,y) \\
&=& g^-(x_s,y) \lp \f{d} \f{C} + \f{C} \f{C} \rp g(x_s,y)
\end{eqnarray}
This form pulls back along the canonical reference section to give the [[Cartan geometry]] curvature,
$$
\si_0^{G*} \ff{\cal F} = \f{d} \f{C} + \f{C} \f{C} = \ff{F}(x)
$$
and satisfies $R_g^* \ff{\cal F} = g^- \ff{\cal F} g$ under the right action.
When $H$ is [[reductive]] in $G$ (which is usually assumed) the [[Cartan connection|Cartan geometry]] splits as
$$
\f{C}(x) = \f{e}(x) + \f{A}(x) = \f{e^A} K_A + \f{A^P} H_P
$$
the [[Ehresmann Cartan connection]] can be made to follow this split,
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\ve{\cal C}}(x,x_s,y) &=& \f{C^J}(x) \, L^I{}_J(x_s, y) \, \ve{\xi^R_I}(x_s, y) + \f{\ve{\cal I}} \\
&=& \f{\ve{\cal E}} + \f{\ve{\cal A}}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
with the ''Ehresmann Cartan frame'' and ''Ehresmann Cartan H-connection'' defined over patches of the total space, $E_G$, of the [[Ehresmann Cartan geometry]] as:
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\ve{\cal E}}(x, x_s, y) &=& \f{e^A}(x) \, (L^h)^I{}_K(y) \, (L^r)^K{}_A(x_s) \, \ve{\xi^R_I}(x_s, y) \\
\f{\ve{\cal A}}(x, x_s, y) &=& \f{A^P}(x) \, (L^h)^I{}_K(y) \, (L^r)^K{}_P(x_s) \, \ve{\xi^R_I}(x_s, y) + \f{\ve{\cal I}}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
with the [[left-right rotator]] and [[Killing vector fields|Lie group geometry]] split over the [[reductive Lie group geometry]]. The [[Ehresmann Cartan connection form|Ehresmann Cartan connection]], $\f{\cal C} = \f{\ve{\cal C}} \f{\cal I}$, also splits,
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal C}(x,x_s,y) &=& g^-(x_s,y) \, \f{C}(x) \, g(x_s,y) + g^-(x_s,y) \, \f{d} \, g(x_s,y) \\
&=& \f{\cal E} + \f{\cal A}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
with the ''Ehresmann Cartan frame form'' and ''Ehresmann Cartan H-connection form'' defined over $E_G$ as:
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal E}(x, x_s, y) &=& \f{\ve{\cal E}} \f{\cal I} = \f{{\cal E}^I} T_I = g^- \, \f{e} \, g(x_s,y) \in \f{\mathfrak{g}} \\
\f{\cal A}(x, x_s, y) &=& \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\cal I} = \f{{\cal A}^I} T_I = g^- \, \f{A} \, g(x_s,y) + g^- \, \f{d} \, g(x_s,y) \in \f{\mathfrak{g}}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
with $g(x_s,y) = r(x_s) \, h(y)$.
This splitting is not a natural thing to do for the Ehresmann Cartan connection or connection form, for which the gauge group is $G$; however, it makes more sense when the Ehresmann Cartan conenction form is pulled back to the [[Cartan homogeneous space bundle]] or [[Cartan H-bundle]].
An ''Ehresmann [[Cartan geometry]]'' modeled on an $n_K$ dimensional [[homogeneous space]], $S=G/H$, is described by an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] (the [[Ehresmann Cartan connection]]), $\f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{\ve{\cal C}}$, over a $(n_M + n_G)$ dimensional total space, $E_G \sim M \times G$, built from an $n_M = n_S$ dimensional base, $M$, and $n_G$ dimensional fiber, $F = G$. This fiber of an ''Ehresmann Cartan geometry'' has a subgroup, $H \subset G$, so the bundle produces two [[associated]] bundles, the [[Cartan H-bundle]], $E_H \sim M \times H$, and the [[Cartan homogeneous space bundle]], $E_S \sim M \times S$. The Ehresmann Cartan connection gives the ''Ehresmann Cartan connection form'', $\f{\cal C} = \f{\ve{\cal C}} \f{\cal I} \in \f{\mathfrak{g}}$, which gives the associated [[Cartan H-bundle connection form|Cartan H-bundle]], $\f{{\cal C}_H}$, over $E_H$ and [[Cartan homogeneous space connection form|Cartan homogeneous space bundle]], $\f{{\cal C}_S}$, over $E_S$. A ''generalized Ehresmann Cartan geometry'' has $n_M \neq n_S$.
There is a convenient set of local coordinates for the total space. The $n_M$ coordinates, $x^a$, cover patches of the base manifold, $M$, the $n_H$ coordinates, $y^p$, correspond to elements $h(y) \in H \subset G$, and the remaining $n_S$ homogeneous space coordinates, $x_s^a$, correspond to $x_s \in S$. So the combined coordinates, $(x_s, y)$, cover patches of $G$ and the total combined coordinates, $(x,x_s,y)$, cover patches of $E_G$ -- so a point of $E_G$ may be written as
$$
p \sim (x,x_s,y) \sim (x,x_s,h(y)) \sim (x,g(x_s,y))
$$
The chosen [[coset representative section|homogeneous space]], $r : S \to G$, allows points of $G$ to be specified in terms of points of $G/H$ and $H$ via the right action,
$$
g(x_s, y) = R_{h(y)} r(x_s) = r(x_s) \, h(y)
$$
The ''Cartan geometry [[reference section|Ehresmann gauge transformation]]'', $\si^G : M \to E_G$, is then determined by the reference section, $\si^H : M \to E_H$, of the Cartan H-bundle and the reference section, $\si^S : M \to E_S$, of the Cartan homogeneous space bundle. With $\si^H(x) = {\big (} x,h(y_\si(x)) {\big )}$ and $\si^S(x) = (x, x_{s\si}(x))$ we have:
$$
\si^G(x) = {\big (} x, r(x_{s\si}(x)) \, h(y_\si(x)) {\big )}
$$
The [[canonical reference section|Ehresmann principal bundle connection]], $\si_0^G(x) = (x,1) \sim (x,0,0)$, of $E_G$ corresponds to the canonical reference section, $\si_0^H(x) = (x,1) \sim (x,0)$, of $E_H$ and the zero point reference section, $\si_0^S(x) = (x, 0)$, of $E_S$.
The Ehresmann Cartan geometry total space, $E_G$, is not only a bundle over $M$ -- it is also a bundle over $E_H$ and over $E_S$. The fundamental bundle maps, $\pi^G_H : E_G \to E_H$ and $\pi^G_S : E_G \to E_S$, are given by $\pi^G_H(x,x_s,y)=(x,y)$ and $\pi^G_S(x,x_s,y) = (x,x_s)$. There are also reference sections, $\si'^S : E_H \to E_G$ and $\si'^H : E_S \to E_G$, over these bases, determined by the reference sections over their partner bundle, $\si'^S(x,y)=(x,x_{s\si}(x),y)$ and $\si'^H(x,x_s)=(x,x_s,y_\si(x))$. The complete web of bundle maps is summarized by:
$$
\begin{array}{ccc}
E_G & \matrix{\lower8mu {\overset{\si'^S}{\longleftarrow}}\\ \raise8mu {\underset{\pi^G_H}{\longrightarrow}}} & E_H\\
{}^{\pi^G_S} \! {\big \downarrow} {\big \uparrow} \! {}_{\si'^H} & {}_{\pi_G} \! \! \! \! \searrow \! \! \nwarrow \! \! \! \! {}^{\si^G} & {}^{\pi_H} \! {\big \downarrow} {\big \uparrow} \! {}_{\si^H}\\
E_S & \matrix{\lower8mu {\overset{\si^S}{\longleftarrow}}\\ \raise8mu {\underset{\pi_S}{\longrightarrow}}} & M
\end{array}
$$
and we have
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\pi_G &=& \pi_H \circ \pi^G_H = \pi_S \circ \pi^G_S \\
\si^G &=& \si'^H \circ \si^S = \si'^S \circ \si^H
\end{eqnarray}
$$
The geometry of an Ehresmann Cartan geometry and its associated bundles is described by the [[Ehresmann Cartan connection]] and its curvature.
The geometry of a [[fiber bundle]] may be described via a [[connection]], $\f{A}$, and [[covariant derivative]], $\f{\na}$, defined over the base manifold, $M$, or alternatively via an ''Ehresmann connection'', $\f{\ve{\cal A}}$, defined over the total space, $E$, of the bundle. This [[vector valued form]] is a [[vector projection]], $\f{\ve{\cal A}}\f{\ve{\cal A}}=\f{\ve{\cal A}}$, that succinctly describes the geometric structure of the bundle, including the [[Lie group]] symmetry. As a projection, it splits the tangent vector space at each point, $p$, of $E$, into range and kernel subspaces,
$$
T_p E = V_r + V_0
$$
The range subspace of $\f{\ve{\cal A}}$ is the ''vertical subspace'', $V_r=V_V$, and the collection of these vertical vector fields over $E$ is an involutive [[distribution]], $\ve{\De_V}=\ve{\De_r}$, of vectors tangent to the fibers of the bundle, $\pi_* \ve{\De_V} = 0$. In this way, the Ehresmann connection determines the fibers of the fiber bundle. The vector fields, $\ve{\xi_A} \sim T_A$, in $\ve{\De_V}$ are the flow fields of the group action on the fibers. They are in involution since
$$
\lb \ve{\xi_A},\ve{\xi_B} \rb_L = C_{AB}{}^C \ve{\xi_C}
$$
The kernel subspace of $\f{\ve{\cal A}}$ is the ''horizontal subspace'', $V_0=V_H$, and the collection of these horizontal vector fields over $E$ form a ''horizontal distribution'', $\ve{\De_H}=\ve{\De_0}$, that may or may not be in involution (more on that further down).
The Ehresmann connection respects the symmetry of the structure group. If we take the group action on manifold points to be a right action $p \mapsto R_g p = pg$, the Ehresmann connection at different points along fibers are related by the [[pullback]],
$$
R_g^* \f{\ve{\cal A}} (pg) = \f{\ve{\cal A}} (p)
$$
In this way the Ehresmann connection is related to the [[Ehresmann-Maurer-Cartan form|Maurer-Cartan form]] on the fiber. Note that the 1-form and vector parts of the Ehresmann connection are being pulled back -- in coordinates this could well be written as
$$
\lp R_g^* \f{dz^i} \rp {\cal A}_i{}^j (pg) \ve{\pa_j} = \f{dz^i} {\cal A}_i{}^j (p) \lp R_{g*} \ve{\pa_j} \rp
$$
The vertical and horizontal distributions satisfy
\begin{eqnarray}
\ve{\De_V} \f{\ve{\cal A}} &=& \ve{\De_V} \\
\ve{\De_H} \f{\ve{\cal A}} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray}
and so must also respect the symmetry of the structure group,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ve{\De_V} (p g) &=& R_{g*} \ve{\De_V} (p) \\
\ve{\De_H} (p g) &=& R_{g*} \ve{\De_H} (p)
\end{eqnarray}
so knowing the distributions at any point $p$ in $E$ implies the distributions at any other point on the fiber containing $p$.
Iff the [[FuN curvature]] of the Ehresmann connection vanishes,
$$

For any [[vector valued form]] field, $\nf{\ve{\cal K}}$, on the total space of a [[fiber bundle]], a natural grade 1 [[derivation]] is provided by the [[FuN derivative]] with respect to the [[Ehresmann connection]], defining the ''Ehresmann covariant derivative'',
$$
\f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} = - {\cal L}_{\f{\ve{\cal A}}} \nf{\ve{\cal K}}
$$
Once a choice of [[gauge|Ehresmann gauge transformation]] is made, the Ehresmann connection may be expressed in local coordinates as
$$
\f{\ve{\cal A}}(x,y) = \f{A^B}(x) \ve{\xi_B}(y) + \f{\ve{W}}(y)
$$
If the vector valued form field is right invariant over the total space and may be written as
$$
\nf{\ve{\cal K}} = \nf{K^B}(x) \ve{\xi_B}(y)
$$
then, using a couple of [[FuN identities]], its Ehresmann covariant derivative is
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} &=& - \lb \f{\ve{\cal A}}, \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \rb_L = - \lb \f{A^B}(x) \ve{\xi_B}(y), \nf{K^C}(x) \ve{\xi_C}(y) \rb_L - \lb \f{\ve{W}}(y), \nf{K^C}(x) \ve{\xi_C}(y) \rb_L \\
&=& - \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} \lb \ve{\xi_B}, \ve{\xi_C} \rb_L - \f{A^B} \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{\xi_B}} \nf{K^C} \rp \ve{\xi_C}

&=& \lp \f{d} \nf{K^C} \rp \ve{\xi_C} - \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} \lb \ve{\xi_B}, \ve{\xi_C} \rb_L
\end{eqnarray}
An [[Ehresmann connection]] may be described in local coordinates by choosing a ''reference [[section|fiber bundle]]'', $\si_0$, that maps from some base manifold, $M$, to the total space, $E$. If coordinates $x^a$ are used in a local patch over $M$, and coordinates $y^p$ are used in patches over a typical fiber, these coordinates can be chosen so $y=0$ on the reference section, and the Ehresmann connection can be written locally over $E$ as
$$
\f{\ve{\cal A}}(x,y) = \f{dx^a} A_a{}^B(x) \xi_B{}^p(y) \ve{\pa_p} + \f{dy^p} \ve{\pa_p} = \f{A^B} \ve{\xi_B} + \f{\ve{\cal I}}
$$
In which $\ve{\xi_B}$ are the [[right (or left) invariant vector fields|Lie group geometry]] on the fibers. Another section ([[gauge|gauge transformation]]), $\si:M \rightarrow E$, may be chosen by flowing the original section along a [[diffeomorphism]] along the fibers, $\ph(x,y) = (x,y_\ph(x,y))$, to $\si = \ph \circ \si_0$. The new section is described in the original coordinates by $y^p_\si(x)$. Since the Ehresmann connection is valued in $TE$ it can't be [[pulled back|pullback]] along the section; however, the [[vector projection onto a section]],
$$
\f{\ve{P_\si}} = \f{dx^a} \ve{\pa_a} + \f{dx^a} \fr{\pa y_\si^p}{\pa x^a} \ve{\pa_p}
$$
can be used to project to the TE valued 1-form on the section,
$$
\f{\ve{{\cal A}_\si}} = \f{\ve{P_\si}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{dx^a} \lp A_a{}^B(x) \xi_B{}^p(y_\si) + \fr{\pa y_\si^p}{\pa x^a} \rp \ve{\pa_p}
$$
The Ehresmann connection everywhere in the total space is determined by the connection components, $A_a{}^B(x)$, on a chosen section. Changing to the connection on a different section is called a passive [[gauge transformation]].
An alternative way of effecting a gauge transformation is to flow the Ehresmann connection by the diffeomorphism, $\f{\ve{\cal A'}} = \phi^*\f{\ve{\cal A}}$, along the fibers while projecting it onto the original section, $\si_0$. This is called an ''active gauge transformation'', and gives the same result,
$$
\f{\ve{{\cal A'}_{\si_0}}} = \f{\ve{P_{\si_0}}} \f{\ve{\cal A'}} = \f{\ve{P_{\si_0}}} \ph^* \f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{\ve{P_{\ph \circ \si_0}}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{\ve{P_\si}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{\ve{\cal A_\si}}
$$

It was enlightening to consider the [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] as a construction in the entire space, $E$, of a [[principal bundle]] with base space, $M=S$. It is equally enlightening to consider the ''Ehresmann homogeneous space geometry'' as the analogous construction in the [[Lie group geometry]], $G$, with a base space that is a [[homogeneous space geometry]], $S = G/H$.
Points of the [[homogeneous space]], $x = [r(x)] \in M = G/H$, are mapped to $G$, by the homogeneous reference section, $r: S \to G$, and any point (element) in $G$, as a function of coordinates $x$ of $M$ and $y$ of $H$, may be specified by
$$
g(z) = g(x,y) = r(x) h(y) \in G
$$
in which $h(y) \in H$ operates on $r(x) \in G$ via the [[right action|group]]. In these coordinates, adapted to the reference section, the reference section is the [[submanifold]] corresponding to $y=0$. The [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{\cal I} = \f{{\cal I}^J} T_J$, over $G$, is
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal I}(z) &=& g^- \f{d} g = h^- \lp r^- \f{d} r \rp h + h^- \f{d} h \\
&=& h^- \f{I} h + h^- \f{d} h \\
&=& \f{{\cal E}_S} + \f{{\cal A}_S}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
When $H$ is [[reductive]] in $G$ (which is assumed) the [[Maurer-Cartan frame|homogeneous space geometry]],
$$
\f{I}(x) = r^- \f{d} r = \f{e_S} + \f{A_S}
$$
splits into the homogeneous space frame, $\f{e_S}(x) = \f{e_S^A} K_A \in \f{\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}}$, and homogeneous H-connection, $\f{A_S}(x) = \f{A_S^P} H_P \in \f{\mathfrak{h}}$. These correspond to the ''Ehresmann homogeneous space frame form'' and ''Ehresmann homogeneous H-connection form'' over $G$,
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{{\cal E}_S} = \f{{\cal E}_S^A} K_A &=& h^- \f{e_S} h \in \f{\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}} \\
\f{{\cal A}_S} = \f{{\cal A}_S^P} H_P &=& h^- \f{A_S} h + h^- \f{d} h \in \f{\mathfrak{h}}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
Their 1-form components are computed using the [[Killing form]],
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{{\cal E}_S^A}(z) &=& \f{e_S^B} \lp K^A, h^- K_B h \rp = \lp L^h \rp^A{}_B \, \f{e_S^B}(x) \\
\f{{\cal A}_S^P}(z) &=& \f{A_S^Q} \lp H^P, h^- H_Q h \rp + \lp H^P, h^- \f{d} h \rp = \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q \, \f{A_S^Q}(x) + \f{{\cal I}_H^P}(y)
\end{eqnarray}
$$
with the appearance of the [[left-right rotator]]s, $\lp L^h \rp^I{}_J(y)$, and the Maurer-Cartan form, $\f{{\cal I}_H}$, for $H$. These are the same as the frame components, $\f{e^A}(z) = \f{{\cal E}_S^A}(z)$ and $\f{e^P}(z) = \f{{\cal A}_S^P}(z)$, for a [[reductive Lie group geometry]]. Using the correspondence between the Lie algebra generators and the left invariant vector fields of the Lie group geometry, $T_I \sim \ve{\xi^R_I}$, allows us to write the [[Ehresmann-Maurer-Cartan vector valued form|Maurer-Cartan form]] as
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\ve{\cal I}} &=& \f{\ve{{\cal E}_S}} + \f{\ve{{\cal A}_S}} \\
&=& \f{{\cal E}_S^A} \ve{\xi^R_A} + \f{{\cal A}_S^P} \ve{\xi^R_P} \\
&=& \f{e_S^B} \lp L^h \rp^A{}_B \, \ve{\xi^R_A} + \f{A_S^Q} \lp L^h \rp^P{}_Q \, \ve{\xi^R_P} + \f{\ve{{\cal I}_H}} \\
&=& \f{I^J} \lp L^r \rp_J{}^K \, \ve{\xi^L_K} + \f{\ve{{\cal I}_H}}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
with the ''Ehresmann homogeneous space frame'', $\f{\ve{{\cal E}_S}}$, and ''Ehresmann homogeneous H-connection'', $\f{\ve{{\cal A}_S}}$, satisfying $\f{\ve{{\cal E}_S}} \f{\cal I} = \f{{\cal E}_S}$ and $\f{\ve{{\cal A}_S}} \f{\cal I} = \f{{\cal A}_S}$ using the Maurer-Cartan form, $\f{\cal I} = \f{\xi_R^J}(z) T_J$, over $G$. The Ehresmann homogeneous H-connection, $\f{\ve{{\cal A}_S}} = \f{{\cal A}_S^P} \ve{\xi^R_P}(z)$, is a [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] for an H-bundle and satisfies $\f{\ve{{\cal A}_S}} \f{\cal I_H} = \f{{\cal A}_S}$, since $\ve{\xi^R_P}(z) = \ve{\xi^{HR}_P}(y)$ in a reductive Lie group geometry. Another way of looking at an Ehresmann homogeneous space geometry is as a [[Cartan H-bundle]] with $\f{C} = \f{I}$.
Since the Ehresmann-Maurer-Cartan VVF is the identity projection, its [[FuN curvature]] vanishes, $\ff{\ve{\cal F}} = -\ha \lb \f{\ve{\cal I}}, \f{\ve{\cal I}} \rb_L = 0$.

equivalent to [[parallel transport]]
[<img[images/png/fiber bundle.png]]A [[principal bundle]] consists of a total space, $E$, built locally from the direct product of a [[Lie group geometry]] (the typical fiber, $F=G$) over a base manifold, $M$. The same [[Lie group]], $G$, is the structure group, acting on the fibers, and hence on the total space, via left action. This group also acts on the fibers, and the total space, via right action. A [[connection]], $\f{A}(x)=\f{A^B}T_B=\f{dx^a}A_a{}^BT_B$, a [[Lieform]] over the base space, describes principal bundle geometry. By choosing a [[reference section|Ehresmann gauge transformation]], $\si_0:M \to E$, this connection may be related to an [[Ehresmann connection]], $\f{\ve{\cal A}}$, over the total space.
There is a convenient set of local coordinates for the total space. The $n_M$ coordinates, $x^a$, with [[spacetime]] [[indices]], cover patches of the base manifold and the $n_G$ coordinates, $y^p$, are from the typical fiber. So a point of $E$ may be described by $p=(x,y)$ or equivalently by $p=(x,g)$ -- where $g(y)$ is the Lie group (fiber) element parameterized by $y$. The fiber bundle projection is then simply $\pi(x,y)=x$. The coordinates are chosen so that $y^p=0$, and hence $g=1$, on the ''canonical reference section'', $\si_0(x)=(x,y_0(x))=(x,0) \sim (x,1)$, which provides the ''canonical local trivialization'', $(x,g) \in E$. With these coordinates each fiber corresponds to a coordinate surface of constant $x$. The $y$ [[coordinate basis vectors]] are in the vertical subspace, $\ve{\pa_p} \in \ve{\De_V}$, but the $x$ coordinate basis vectors are not necessarily in the horizontal subspace, $\ve{\pa_a} \notin \ve{\De_H}$. We will abuse the use of the same label, $x^a$, for the coordinates on the base and some on the total space. Using these coordinates, the ''Ehresmann principal bundle connection'' (a [[vector projection]]) over the total space is
$$
\f{\ve{\cal A}}(x,y) = \f{A}^B(x) \ve{\xi}{}^L_B(y) + \f{\ve{\cal I}}
$$
in which $\ve{\xi^L_B}$ are the [[left action vector fields|Lie group geometry]] for the Lie group geometry, defined by
$$
\ve{\xi^L_B} \f{\pa} g(y) = T_B g
$$
and
$$
\f{\ve{\cal I}} = \f{\xi_L^B}(y) \ve{\xi^L_B}(y) = \f{\xi_R^B}(y) \ve{\xi^R_B}(y) = \f{dy^p} \ve{\pa_p}
$$
is the [[Ehresmann-Maurer-Cartan form|Maurer-Cartan form]] (the [[identity projection|vector projection]] along the fibers). The Ehresmann connection is a projection, $\f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{\ve{\cal A}}$, is [[right invariant]], $R_h^*\f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{\ve{\cal A}}$, and has a natural [[spectral decomposition|spectral decomposition of the Ehresmann principal bundle connection]]. It may also be written as a Lie algebra valued 1-form over the total space by [[contracting|vector-form algebra]] it with the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{\cal I}(y) = \f{\xi_R^B}(y)T_B = g^- \f{d} g$, over the total space to get the ''Ehresmann connection form'',
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal A}(x,y) &=& \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\cal I} = \f{A^B}(x) \ve{\xi^L_B}(y) \f{\xi_R^C}(y) T_C + \f{\ve{\cal I}} \f{\cal I} \\
&=& \lp \f{A^B} L^C{}_B(y) + \f{\xi_R^C} \rp T_C \\
&=& g^-(y) \f{A}(x) g(y) + g^-(y) \f{d^y} g(y)
\end{eqnarray}
using the defining equation for the [[left-right rotator]],
$$
L^C{}_B(y) = \ve{\xi^L_B}(y) \f{\xi_R^C}(y) = \lp T^C, g^-(y) T_B g(y) \rp
$$
This form pulls back along the canonical reference section ($y=0$) to give the principal bundle connection,
$$
\si_0^*\f{\cal A} = \f{A}(x)
$$
and satisfies $R_h^* \f{\cal A} = h^- \f{\cal A} h$ under the right action.
The ''[[FuN curvature]] of the Ehresmann principal bundle connection'' is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\ve{\cal F}}(x,y) &=& - \ha \lb \f{\ve{\cal A}}, \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rb_L = \lp 1 - \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp = \lp 1 - \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \lp \lp \f{\pa^x} + \f{\pa^y} \rp \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \\
&=& \lp 1 - \f{A^B}(x) \ve{\xi^L_B}(y) - \f{dy^p} \ve{\pa_p} \rp
\lp \lp \f{d^x} \f{A^C} \rp \ve{\xi^L_C}(y) - \f{A^C} \f{\pa^y} \ve{\xi^L_C} \rp \\
&=& \lp \f{d^x} \f{A^C} \rp \ve{\xi^L_C} - \f{A^B} \f{A^C} \ve{\xi^L_B} \f{\pa^y} \ve{\xi^L_C} \\
&=& \lp \f{d^x} \f{A^D} + \ha \f{A^B} \f{A^C} C_{BC}{}^D \rp \ve{\xi^L_D}(y)
\end{eqnarray}
using the [[Lie bracket for left action vector fields|Lie group geometry]],
$$
\ve{\xi^L_{\lb B \rd}} \lp \f{\pa} \ve{\xi^L_{\ld C \rb}} \rp = \ha \lb \ve{\xi^L_B} , \ve{\xi^L_C} \rb_L = - \ha C_{BC}{}^D \ve{\xi^L_D}
$$
This curvature is vector valued in the vertical subspace, and is right invariant, $R_h^* \ff{\ve{\cal F}} = \ff{\ve{\cal F}}$. The ''FuN curvature form of the Ehresmann connection'' is a ${\frak g}$ valued 2-form over $E$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\cal F} &=& \ff{\ve{\cal F}} \f{\cal I} = \lp \f{d^x} \f{A^D} + \ha \f{A^B} \f{A^C} C_{BC}{}^D \rp g^-(y) T_D g(y) \\
&=& g^-(y) \lp \f{d^x} \f{A} + \ha \lb \f{A}, \f{A} \rb \rp g(y) \\
&=& g^-(y) \lp \f{d^x} \f{A} + \f{A} \f{A} \rp g(y)
\end{eqnarray}
This form pulls back along the canonical reference section to give the [[principal bundle]] curvature,
$$
\si_0^*\ff{\cal F} = \f{d} \f{A} + \f{A} \f{A} = \ff{F}(x)
$$
and satisfies $R_h^* \ff{\cal F} = h^- \ff{\cal F} h$ under the right action.
The [[Ehresmann covariant derivative]] of a [[vector valued form]] field, $\nf{\ve{\cal K}}$, over the total space of a [[principal bundle]] using an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] is
$$
\f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} = - {\cal L}_{\f{\ve{\cal A}}} \nf{\ve{\cal K}}
$$
using the [[FuN derivative]]. The VVF will usually be right invariant and expressible as
$$
\nf{\ve{\cal K}} = \nf{K^B}(x) \ve{\xi^L_B}(y)
$$
corresponding to the [[Lieform]],
$$
\nf{\cal K} = \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \f{\cal I} = \nf{K^B}(x) g^-(y) T_B g(y)
$$
obtained with the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{\cal I}(y) = \f{\xi_R^B} T_B$, and the [[left-right rotator]]. The [[pullback]] of this form along a section, $\si_1=(x,g_1(x))$, gives the Lieform over the base,
$$
\nf{K_1}(x) = \si_1^* \nf{\cal K} = \nf{K^B}(x) g^-_1(x) T_B g_1(x) = g^-_1(x) \nf{K}(x) g_1(x)
$$
in which the form pulled back along the reference section is $\nf{K}(x) = \nf{K^B}(x) T_B$. The Ehresmann covariant derivative of the VVF,
$$
\f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} = \lp \f{d} \nf{K^C} \rp \ve{\xi^L_C} - \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} \lb \ve{\xi^L_B}, \ve{\xi^L_C} \rb_L
= \lp \f{d} \nf{K^D} + \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} C_{BC}{}^D \rp \ve{\xi^L_D}
$$
gives a definition for the ''Ehresmann covariant derivative of a Lieform'',
$$
\f{\cal D} \nf{\cal K} = \lp \f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \rp \f{\cal I} = \lp \f{d} \nf{K^D} + \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} C_{BC}{}^D \rp g^-(y) T_D g(y)
$$
which pulls back along any chosen section to give the [[covariant derivative|principal bundle]] of $\nf{K}$ on the base,
\begin{eqnarray}
\lp \f{D_1} \nf{K_1} \rp(x) &=& \si_1^* \lp \f{\cal D} \nf{\cal K} \rp
= \lp \f{d} \nf{K^D} + \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} C_{BC}{}^D \rp g^-_1(x) T_D g_1(x) \\
&=& g^-_1(x) \lp \f{d} \nf{K} + \lb \f{A}, \nf{K} \rb \rp g_1(x)
= g^-_1(x) \lp \f{\na} \nf{K} \rp g_1(x)
\end{eqnarray}
(This should be equivalent to the usual definition of the Ehresmann covariant derivative of Lieform via
$$
\ve{v_1} \ve{v_2} \dots \ve{v_{k+1}} \f{\cal D} \nf{\cal K} = \ve{v^H_1} \ve{v^H_2} \dots \ve{v^H_{k+1}} \f{d} \nf{\cal K}(x,y)
$$
in which the vectors on the right are horizontal projections of the ones on the left, $\ve{v^H} = \ve{v}(1-\f{\ve{\cal A}})$. //That definition needs to be checked.//)
Similarly, if a VVF is left invariant and may be expressed as
$$
\nf{\ve{\cal K}} = \nf{K^B}(x) \ve{\xi^R_B}(y)
$$
corresponding to the Lieform,
$$
\nf{\cal K} = \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \f{\cal I} = \nf{K^B}(x) T_B
$$
The [[pullback]] of this form along any section, $\si_1=(x,g_1(x))$, gives the same Lieform over the base,
$$
\nf{K_1}(x) = \si_1^* \nf{\cal K} = \nf{K^B}(x) T_B = \nf{K}(x)
$$
The Ehresmann covariant derivative of this VVF,
$$
\f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} = \lp \f{d} \nf{K^C} \rp \ve{\xi^R_C} - \f{A^B} \nf{K^C} \lb \ve{\xi^L_B}, \ve{\xi^R_C} \rb_L
= \lp \f{d} \nf{K^C} \rp \ve{\xi^R_C}
$$
gives the Lieform,
$$
\f{\cal D} \nf{\cal K} = \lp \f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \rp \f{\cal I} = \lp \f{d} \nf{K^C} \rp T_C = \f{d} \nf{\cal K}
$$
which pulls back along any chosen section to give the [[exterior derivative]] of $\nf{K}$ on the base,
$$
\lp \f{D_1} \nf{K_1} \rp = \si_1^* \lp \f{\cal D} \nf{\cal K} \rp
= \f{d} \nf{K}
$$
A passive [[Ehresmann gauge transformation]] for an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] corresponds to changing to a different choice of section along which to pull back the Ehresmann connection form. The choice of reference section is equivalent to the choice of a local trivialization for a [[fiber bundle]]. Once a reference section, $\si_0:M \to E$, and principal bundle connection, $\f{A}$, have been used to build the principal bundle Ehresmann connection, $\f{\ve{\cal A}}$, a different section, $\si_1$, can be introduced and used to pull back a different principal bundle connection, $\f{A'}$ -- this is a [[gauge transformation]]. Using coordinates adapted to the reference section, the Ehresmann connection is
$$
\f{\ve{\cal A}}(x,y) = \f{A^B} \ve{\xi^L_B}(y) + \f{\ve{\cal I}}
$$
and the Ehresmann connection form is
$$
\f{\cal A} = \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\cal I} = g^-(y) \f{A}(x) g(y) + g^- \f{d^y} g(y)
$$
using the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{\cal I}(y) = \f{\xi_R^B} T_B$, and [[left-right rotator]]. The new section, $\si_1 = \ph \circ \si_0$, may be obtained by flowing the reference section by an equivariant vertical [[diffeomorphism]], $\ph(x,y) = (x,y_\ph(x,y))$, satisfying $\ph(ph)=\ph(p)h$ and giving $\si_1(x) = (x,y_1(x)) = (x,y_\ph(x,0))$. This is equivalent to transforming the original section by right (//?//) action by an element of $G$ to $\si_1(x) = \si_0(x) \, g(y_1(x)) = \si_0 \, g_1(x)$. The [[vector projection onto a section]], $\si_1$, is
$$
\f{\ve{P_1}} = \f{dx^a} \ve{\pa_a} + \f{dx^a} \fr{\pa y_1^p}{\pa x^a} \ve{\pa_p}
$$
and is used to project the Ehresmann connection to
$$
\f{\ve{{\cal A}_1}} = \f{\ve{P_1}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} = \f{A^B}(x) \ve{\xi^L_B}(y_1) + \f{dx^a} \fr{\pa y_1^p}{\pa x^a} \ve{\pa_p}
$$
and the Ehresmann connection form to
$$
\f{{\cal A}_1} = \f{\ve{P_1}} \f{\cal A} = \f{\ve{{\cal A}_1}} \f{\cal I} = \f{\ve{P_1}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\cal I} = g^-(y_1(x)) \f{A}(x) g(y_1(x)) + g^-(y_1(x)) \f{d^x} g(y_1(x))
$$
on the section. This, the gauge transformed connection, gives the [[pullback]] of the Ehresmann connection form along the section,
$$
\f{A'}(x) = \si_1^* \f{\cal A} = \si_1^* \f{{\cal A}_1} = g^-_1(x) \f{A} g_1(x) + g^-_1(x) \f{d^x} g_1(x)
$$
identified as the [[principal bundle gauge transformation|principal bundle]] with $g_1(x)=g^-(x)$.
An alternative way of effecting a gauge transformation is to flow the Ehresmann connection form by the diffeomorphism, $\f{\cal A'} = \ph^*\f{\cal A}$, then pull it back along the original section, $\si_0$. This ''active gauge transformation'' gives the same result,
$$
\si_0^* \f{\cal A'} = \si_0^* \lp \ph^* \f{\cal A} \rp
= \lp \ph \circ \si_0 \rp^* \f{\cal A}
= \si_1^* \f{\cal A} = \f{A'}

[[Ehresmann lift]] for an [[Ehresmann principal bundle connection]].
A [[vector bundle]] consists of a total space, $E$, built locally from the direct product of a [[vector space]] (the typical fiber, consisting of elements $v = v^\al b_\al \in V = F$) and a base manifold, $M$. A [[vector bundle connection]], $\f{A}{}_\al{}^\be(x) = \f{dx^i} A_{i \al}{}^\be(x)$, a 1-form over the base space valued in some subgroup of the general linear group, describes the geometry of the vector bundle. By choosing a ''reference [[section|fiber bundle]]'', $\si_0:M \to E$, this connection may be related to an [[Ehresmann connection]], $\f{\ve{\cal A}}$, over the total space.
There is a convenient set of local coordinates for the total space. The $n$ coordinates, $x^a$, with [[spacetime]] [[indices]], are from the base manifold and the $K$ coordinates, $v^\al$, are from the typical fiber (vector space). So a point of $E$ (above some patch of $M$) may be described by $p = (x,v)$. The fiber bundle projection is then simply $\pi(x,v) = x$. The coordinates are chosen so that $v^\al = 0$ on the reference section, a ''canonical local trivialization'', $\si_0(x) = (x,v_0(x)) = (x,0)$. With these coordinates each fiber corresponds to a coordinate surface of constant $x$. The [[coordinate basis vectors]] for the $v^\al$ coordinates, $\ve{\pa_\al} \in \ve{\De_V}$, are in the vertical subspace, but the $x$ coordinate basis vectors are not necessarily in the horizontal subspace, $\ve{\pa_a} \notin \ve{\De_H}$. We will abuse the use of the same label, $x^a$, for the coordinates on the base and some on the total space. Using these coordinates, the linear ''Ehresmann vector bundle connection'' over the total space is
$$
\f{\ve{\cal A}}(x,v) = \lp \f{dx^i} A_{i \al}{}^\be(x) v^\al + \f{dv^\be} \rp \ve{\pa_\be}
$$
In analogy with the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], we build a vector ($V$) valued 1-form,
$$
\f{\cal I} = \f{dv^\be} b_\be
$$
and use it to define the ''Ehresmann vector bundle connection form'',
$$
\f{\cal A} = \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\cal I} = \lp \f{A}{}_\al{}^\be v^\al + \f{dv^\be} \rp b_\be
$$
This allows us to define the [[vector bundle covariant derivative|vector bundle connection]] of any section, $\si_1 : M \mapsto E$, $\si_1(x) = (x, v_1(x))$, as the [[pullback]] of $\f{\cal A}$ along the section to M,
$$
\si_1^* \f{\cal A} = \f{A}{}_\al{}^\be v_1^\al(x) b_\be + \f{dx^a} \fr{\pa v_1^\be}{\pa x^a} b_\be = \f{\na} v_1(x)
$$
The ''[[FuN curvature]] of the Ehresmann vector bundle connection'' is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\ve{\cal F}}(x,y) &=& - \ha \lb \f{\ve{\cal A}}, \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rb_L = \lp 1 - \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \\
&=& \lp 1 - \f{A}{}_\al{}^\be v^\al \ve{\pa_\be} - \f{dv^\be} \ve{\pa_\be} \rp
\lp \lp \f{d^x} \f{A}{}_\ga{}^\de \rp v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de} - \f{A}{}_\ga{}^\de \f{dv^\ga} \ve{\pa_\de} \rp \\
&=& \lp \f{d^x} \f{A}{}_\al{}^\de - \f{A}{}_\al{}^\be \f{A}{}_\be{}^\de \rp v^\al \ve{\pa_\de} \\
&=& \ff{F}{}_\al{}^\de v^\al \ve{\pa_\de}
\end{eqnarray}
in which the [[vector bundle curvature]], $\ff{F}{}_\al{}^\de$, appears.
The [[Ehresmann covariant derivative]] of any [[vector valued form]] over the total space (such as the curvature above) that can be written as
$$
\nf{\ve{\cal K}} = \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de(x) v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de}
$$
is defined using the [[FuN derivative]] as
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\cal D} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} &=& - {\cal L}_{\f{\ve{\cal A}}} \nf{\ve{\cal K}}
= - \f{\ve{\cal A}} \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \rp + \lp -1 \rp^k \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp + \f{\pa} \lp \nf{\ve{\cal K}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \\
&=& - \lp \f{A}{}_\al{}^\be(x) v^\al + \f{dv^\be} \rp \ve{\pa_\be} \lp \lp \f{d^x} \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de \rp v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de} + \lp -1 \rp^k \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de \f{dv^\ga} \ve{\pa_\de} \rp \\
& & + \lp -1 \rp^k \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de} \lp \lp \f{d^x} \f{A}{}_\la{}^\be \rp v^\al \ve{\pa_\be} - \f{A}{}_\al{}^\be \f{dv^\al} \ve{\pa_\be} \rp
+ \f{\pa} \lp \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de} \rp \\
&=& \lp \f{d^x} \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de - \f{A}{}_\ga{}^\be \nf{K}{}_\be{}^\de + \f{A}{}_\be{}^\de \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\be \rp v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de} \\
&=& \lp \f{\na} \nf{K}{}_\ga{}^\de \rp v^\ga \ve{\pa_\de}
\end{eqnarray}
An [[Ehresmann gauge transformation]] corresponding to a change in local trivialization, $b_\be \mapsto b'_\be = g_\be{}^\al(x) b_\al$, gives changes in $\f{A}{}_\al{}^\be$ and other coefficients corresponding to a [[vector bundle gauge transformation]].
In a [[spacetime]], equivalent to a [[Cl(1,3)]] or [[Cl(3,1)]] [[Clifford vector bundle]], the [[Clifford-Ricci curvature]], $\f{R}$, [[Clifford curvature scalar]], $R$, [[frame]], $\f{e}$, ''cosmological constant'', $\La$, and ''Clifford energy-momentum tensor'', $\f{T}$, for matter are dynamically related by ''Einstein's equation'',
$$
\f{R} - \ha R \f{e} = \et_{00} ( \La \f{e} - 8 \pi G \f{T} )
$$
in which $\et_{00}$ specifies the [[Minkowski metric]] sign convention. In a vacuum, $\f{T} = 0$, Einstein's equation contracted with the coframe, $\ve{e}$, gives
$$
\ve{e} \cdot \lp \f{R} - \ha R \f{e} \rp = R - \ha R n = \et_{00} \La n
$$
requiring the curvature scalar to be constant, $R = - \fr{2n}{n-2} \et_{00} \La = - 4 \et_{00} \La$ (with $n=4$), and giving the ''vacuum Einsten's equation'',
$$
\f{R} = - \fr{2}{n-2} \et_{00} \La \f{e} = - \et_{00} \La \f{e}
$$
Any spacetime that satisfies $\f{R} = \al \f{e}$ for some constant, $\al$, is an ''Einstein space''.
Einstein's equation is derived by extremizing the ''Einstein-Hilbert [[action]]'',
$$
S = \int \nf{e} \lp \fr{1}{16 \pi G} \lp R + 2 \et_{00} \La \rp + L_M \rp
$$
with respect to $\ve{e}$, in natural [[units]].

*looks to be a good reveiw of ECT
In ECT...
The curvature picks up a contribution from torsion, and the Ricci curvature is no longer guaranteed to be symmetric in its indices. This change in the equation of motion allows matter with a spin component to couple to the angular momentum of the gravitational field.
In teleparallel theories of gravity the spin connection is purely torsional ($\f{\nu}=0$, $\f{d} \f{e}=0$, $\f{\ka} \neq 0$) and the [[spacetime]] is, in that sense, flat, with the gravitational field a force represented solely by torsion.

Decent intros using MaxEnt:
http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0507388
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/9805024
some Q.A.Wang papers
*http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0312329
**I don't like his use of ergodicity in defining the long time average equal to the Bayesian expectation value.
**nice: uses fixed average action and MaxEnt to get partition function with action per path instead of energy per state
***I might like using Rovelli's Hamiltonian constraint dynamics better.
*http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0407515
**seems inferior to previous paper
Good Hawking paper on it:

*boundary term in depth
*Hamiltonian formulation
*relationship between partition functions for static spacetimes (timelike Killing vector).
related discussion on time and Tomita flow in Rovelli book
Nice new paper including possible action for BF gravity:

Each [[Cl(4)]] Weylish spinor in a ''Euclidean [[twistor]]'', $\{ \ps_L,\ps_R \}$, can be represented as a $\mathbb{R}^4$ column or as a $\mathbb{C}^2$ column using a [[complexification|complex structure]], $\ps_L = M_L \, \ps$ and $\ps_R = M_R \, \ch$,
$$
\ps_L = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lb \begin{array}{c} i \, \ps^0 + \ps^3 \\ \ps^1 + i \, \ps^2 \end{array}\rb \leftrightarrow \ps = \ps^a e_a
\s
\ps_R = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lb \begin{array}{c} i \, \ch^0 - \ch^3 \\ - \ch^1 - i \, \ch^2 \end{array}\rb \leftrightarrow \ch = \ch^a e_a
$$
mapping between real [[quaternion]]s and complex Weylish spinors. Explicitly, these are
$$
M_L = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lb \begin{array}{cccc} i & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & i & 0 \end{array} \rb
\s
M_R = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lb \begin{array}{cccc} i & 0 & 0 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & -i & 0 \end{array} \rb
$$
This map is based on the identification of a [[complex structure]] on the quaternions,
$$
J_{L/R} = \pm \lb \ba{cccc} & & & 1 \\ & & -1 & \\ & 1 & & \\ -1 & & & \ea \rb
$$
differing in sign for each [[chiral]]ity, satisfying $-i M_{L/R} J_{L/R} = M_{L/R}$. There is also a map between the right chiral vector, $v_R$, and a quaternion, $v$,
$$
v_R = v_R^0 \si_0 - v_R^\va i \, \si_\va \leftrightarrow v = v^a e_a = v^0 e_0 + v^\va e_\va = v^0 \si_0 - v^\va i \, \si_\va
$$
written using [[Pauli matrices]], with the components directly related by $v_L^0 = v^0$ and $v_L^\va = v^\va$. Via [[division algebra confusion]], the quaternionic [[triality]],
$$
T(v,\ps,\ch) = \lp \tilde{\ch}, v \, \ps \rp = v^c \ps^a \ch^b \Ga_{cba} \; \in \; \mathbb{R}
$$
corresponds directly to ''Euclidean twistor triality'', using the [[Hermitian form]],
\begin{eqnarray}
T(v_R,\ps_L,\ps_R) &=& \langle \ps_R | v_R \, \ps_L \rangle = \ps_R^\da \, v_R \, \ps_L + \ps_L^\da \, v_R^\da \, \ps_R \\
&=& \ch^T M_R^\da \, v_R \, M_L \ps + \ps^T M_L^\da \, v_R^\da \, M_R \, \ch \\
&=& \ps^a \ch^b \, 2\, \text{Re} \lp M_R^\da (v^0 \si_0 - v^\va i \, \si_\va) M_L \rp_{ba} \\
&=& v^c \ps^a \ch^b \Ga_{cba} \; \in \; \mathbb{R}
\end{eqnarray}
in which $\Ga_{cba}$ is the quaternion multiplication table and the Clifford vector matrix for the [[quaternionic representation of Cl(4)]].
Going the other way, we can write $\ps = M_L^- \ps_L$ and $\ch = M_R^- \ps_R$, with
$$
M^-_L = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lb \ba{cc} \fr{1}{i}(1-K) & 0 \\ 0 & (1+K) \\ 0 & \fr{1}{i}(1-K) \\ (1+K) & 0 \ea \rb
\s
M^-_R = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lb \ba{cc} \fr{1}{i}(1-K) & 0 \\ 0 & -(1+K) \\ 0 & -\fr{1}{i}(1-K) \\ -(1+K) & 0 \ea \rb
$$
in which $K$ is the complex conjugation operator. This allows us to write
$$
T(v_R,\ps_L,\ps_R) = v^c \ps^a \ch^b \Ga_{cba} = \ch^T (v^c \Ga_c) \ps = \ps_R^T M_R^{-T} (v^c \Ga_c) M_L^- \ps_L
= [ \ba{cc} \ps_R^T & \ps_R^\da \ea ] (v^c_L \Ga_c^{\mathbb{C}}) \lb \ba{c} \ps_L \\ \ps_L^* \ea \rb
$$
The ''Euclidean twistor incidence relation'',
$$
\ps_R = \frac{1}{\langle v_R \ps_L | v_R \ps_L \rangle} v_R \, \ps_L
$$
like the quaternion incidence relation, $\tilde{\ch} = v \ps / |v \ps|^2$, comes from requiring $T(v_R,\ps_L,\ps_R) = 1$. Our Hermitian form works for vectors as well,
$$
\langle v_1 | v_2 \rangle = v_1^\da v_2 + v_2^\da v_1 = v_1^a v_2^b \de_{ab}
$$
so Euclidean twistor triality also gives us
$$
v_R = \frac{1}{\langle \ps_R \ps_L^\da | \ps_R \ps_L^\da \rangle} \ps_R \ps_L^\da
\s \text{and} \s
\ps_L = \frac{1}{\langle v_R^\da \ps_R | v_R^\da \ps_R \rangle} v_R^\da \ps_R
$$
Euclidean twistor triality is sort of invariant under permutation,
$$
T(v_R,\ps_L,\ps_R) = \langle \ps_R | v_R \ps_L \rangle = \langle v_R \ps_L | \ps_R \rangle = \langle \ps_L | v_R^\da \ps_R \rangle
= T(v_R^\da,\ps_R,\ps_L)
$$
The identification between Euclidean twistors and the quaternions works pretty well, but things don't work as well for twistors of signature $(1,3)$. For one thing, we might have $\langle v_R | v_R \rangle = 0$ for a null vector. We could fudge by letting $V^0$ be imaginary, but that's not very satisfying. Instead, we might be better to consider the conformal algebra, [[spin(2,4)]], and its action on twistors, and then see that a better [[twistor confusion]] exists, based on the [[split-octonion]]s.
Equations of motion for a dynamical system can be obtained by insisting that an [[action]] is at an extrema under variations,
$$
0 = \de S = \int \nf{e} \, \de {\cal L} (\Ph,\f{\pa} \Ph) = \int \nf{e} \, \left\{ \de \Ph \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa \Ph} + \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \f{\pa} \de \Ph \right\}
$$
Presuming the variations, $\de \Ph$, to vanish at the [[integration]] boundary, and obtaining the rule for integration by parts involving the [[divergence]],
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
0 &=& \int_\pa \de \Ph \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \nf{e}
= \int \f{d} \lp \de \Ph \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \nf{e} \rp \\
&=& \int \nf{e} \, \mathrm{div} \lp \de \Ph \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \rp
= \int \nf{e} \left\{ \de \Ph \, \mathrm{div} \lp \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \rp + \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \f{\pa} \de \Ph \right\}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
this can be used in the expression for the variation to obtain a ''Euler-Lagrange equation'',
$$
0 = \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa \Ph} - \mathrm{div} \lp \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Ph)} \rp
$$
or, in components, using the [[covariant derivative|Christoffel symbols]],
$$
0 = \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa \Ph} - D_i \lp \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\pa_i \Ph)} \rp
$$

A ''Fock space'', $\mathcal{F}$, is an infinite-dimensional [[Hilbert space]] (and therefore also an [[infinite-dimensional unitary representation]] space) corresponding physically to the excitation of quantum particle states. It is the Hilbert space of quantized field amplitudes (sometimes called ''second quantization''), in contrast to the more familiar Hilbert space of quantized particle position (''first quantization''). For each type of elementary particle, such as $\ph$, with a specific spatial [[momentum]], $p$, and mass $m$, there is a basis of [[harmonic energy states|creation and annihilation operators]], $| n^\ph_p \rangle$, with corresponding oscillation energy, $E = \sqrt{p \!\cdot\! p + m^2}$, for each particle. Here $n^\ph_p$ is the ''occupation number'' of particle $\ph$ with momentum $p$. An arbitrary [[ket]] in Fock space can be written as a superposition of basis states,
$$
| n^\ph_{p_1}, n^\ph_{p_2}, n^\ph_{p_3}, ... \rangle \in \mathcal{F}
$$
In this way each type of elementary particle, of each momentum, is a [[quantum harmonic oscillator]]. The ''vacuum'', $| 0 \rangle$, is the ground state of the [[quantum field]] -- this technically corresponds to zero particles, but just as the quantum harmonic oscillator ground state can have non-vanishing vacuum expectation values, so can the quantum field theory vacuum.
A Fock space can be restricted to be symmetric or antisymmetric under the exchange of particles, depending on whether the particles are bosons or fermions. A Fock space,
$$
\mathcal{F} = {\mathbb C} \oplus \mathcal{H} \oplus \mathcal{H} \! \otimes \! \mathcal{H} \, \oplus \, ...
$$
can also be described as the infinite sum of exterior products of single particle Hilbert spaces, with the above ket expressed as
$$
| n_1, n_2, n_3, ... \rangle = | \ph_1 \rangle^{n_1} | \ph_2 \rangle^{n_2} | \ph_3 \rangle^{n_3} ...
$$
and the products symmeterized or antisymmeterized if they're bosons or fermions, such as
$$
| 1_1, 1_2 \rangle = | \ph_1 \rangle | \ph_2 \rangle = \ha \lp | \ph_1 \rangle \otimes | \ph_2 \rangle \pm | \ph_2 \rangle \otimes | \ph_1 \rangle \rp
\in S_\pm \! \lp \mathcal{H} \! \otimes \! \mathcal{H} \rp
$$
This establishes a mysterious identification between the first excited state of a [[quantum field]], $| 1^\ph_{p} \rangle$, and the [[quantum state|quantum mechanics]], $| \ph_p \rangle$, of a single particle.
[[Fourier transform]] pairs satisfy many interesting identities:
Linearity
$$
f(x) = a \, g(x) + b \, h(x) \implies f'(p) = a \, g'(p) + b \, h'(p)
$$
Translation
$$
f(x) = g(x-x_0) \implies f'(p) = e^{-2\pi i x_0 p} g'(p)
$$
Scaling
$$
f(x) = g(a \, x) \implies f'( p) = \fr{1}{|a|} g'(\fr{p}{a})
$$
Conjugation
$$
f(x) = g(x)^* \implies f'(p) = g'(-p)^*
$$
Parseval formula
$$
\int{dx} \, f(x) \, g(x)^* = \int{\! \fr{dp}{2 \pi}} \, f'(p) \, g'(p)^*
$$
Convolution
$$
f'(p) = g'(p)^* \, h'(p) \implies f(x) = \int{dx'} \, g(x')^* \, h(x+x')
$$
The ''Fourier transform'', $f'(p)$, of a function, $f(x$), is
$$
f'(p) = \int{\!dx} \, e^{- i x p} f(x)
$$
which inverts via
$$
f(x) = \int{\! \fr{dp}{2 \pi}} e^{i x p} f'(p)
$$
There are many interesting [[Fourier identities]].
The ''FuN curvature'' (//''Frolicher-Nijenhuis curvature''//), $\ff{\ve{\cal F}}=\f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \ha {\cal F}_{ij}{}^k \ve{\pa_k}$, of a [[vector valued form]], $\f{\ve{\cal A}}=\f{dx^i} {\cal A}_i{}^j \ve{\pa_j}$, is its [[FuN bracket|FuN derivative]] with itself,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\ve{\cal F}} &=& - \ha \lb \f{\ve{\cal A}}, \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rb_L
= - \lb \f{\ve{\cal A}}, \f{\pa} \rb \f{\ve{\cal A}} \\
&=& - \f{\ve{\cal A}} \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp + \f{\pa} \lp \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \\
&=& - \lp \f{\ve{\cal A}} \f{\pa} \rp \f{\ve{\cal A}} + \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal A}} \rp \f{\ve{\cal A}}
\end{eqnarray}
In components, this is
$$
{\cal F}_{ij}{}^k = - {\cal A}_i{}^m \pa_m {\cal A}_j{}^k + {\cal A}_j{}^m \pa_m {\cal A}_i{}^k + {\cal A}_m{}^k \pa_i {\cal A}_j{}^m - {\cal A}_m{}^k \pa_j A_i{}^m
$$
If, as often happens, a vector valued form is a [[vector projection]], $\f{\ve{\cal P}} = \f{\ve{\cal P}} \f{\ve{\cal P}}$, its FuN curvature is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{\ve{\cal F}} &=& \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal P}} - \f{\ve{\cal P}} \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal P}} \rp \\
&=& \lp 1 - \f{\ve{\cal P}} \rp \lp \f{\pa} \f{\ve{\cal P}} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
which satisfies $\f{\ve{\cal P}} \ff{\ve{\cal F}}=0$ -- the form part of the FuN curvature is in the kernel (horizontal part) of the projection. If the vector projection is an [[Ehresmann connection]], any two vectors contracted with the FuN curvature give the vertical part of the [[Lie bracket|Lie derivative]] of the horizontal part of the vectors,
$$
\ve{u} \ve{v} \ff{\ve{\cal F}} = - \ha {\lb \ve{u_H} , \ve{v_H} \rb_L}_V = - \ha \lb \ve{u} \lp 1- \f{\ve{\cal P}} \rp , \ve{v} \lp 1- \f{\ve{\cal P}} \rp \rb_L \f{\ve{\cal P}}

The ''Frolicher-Nijenhuis Lie derivative'' -- which we refer to as the //''FuN derivative''// -- is a [[natural]] operator generalizing the [[Lie derivative]] to handle [[vector valued form]] fields. The FuN derivative of a vector valued $k$-form field, $\nf{\ve{K}}$, with respect to a vector field, $\ve{v}$, is written terms of [[partial derivative]]s as
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{\ve{K}} &=& \lim_{t \to 0} \fr{\ph_t^*\nf{\ve{K}} - \nf{\ve{K}}}{t} = \ve{v} \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp + \f{\pa} \lp \ve{v} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp - \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \f{\pa} \rp \ve{v} \\
&=& \lp \ve{v} \f{\pa} \rp \nf{\ve{K}} + \lp \f{\pa} \ve{v} \rp \nf{\ve{K}} - \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \f{\pa} \rp \ve{v}
\end{eqnarray}
This defines the ''Frolicher-Nijenhuis bracket'' (//''FuN bracket''//) for these fields, and enforcing antisymmetry defines the FuN derivative of a vector field with respect to a vector valued form.,
$$
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} {\ve{v}} = \lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \ve{v} \rb_L = - \lb \ve{v} , \nf{\ve{K}} \rb_L = - {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{\ve{K}}
$$
Similarly, generalizing Cartan's formula for the Lie derivative, the FuN derivative of a differential form is
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{F} &=& \lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \nf{F} \rb_L = \nf{\ve{K}} \lp \f{d} \nf{F} \rp + \lp -1 \rp^k \f{d} \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \nf{F} \rp \\
&=& \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \f{\pa} \rp \nf{F} + \lp -1 \rp^k \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp \nf{F}
\end{eqnarray}
which also defines the FuN bracket of these objects. The above expression for the FuN bracket, and Cartan's formula, can also be written using the natural [[exterior derivative]] in a [[commutator]] bracket,
$$
\lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \nf{F} \rb_L = \lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \f{d} \rb \nf{F}
$$
thereby demonstrating the naturalness of the FuN derivative acting on forms. These definitions generalize furthest to give the glorious FuN bracket (and FuN derivative) between vector valued $k$ and $l$ forms
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \nf{\ve{L}} \rb_L &=& {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{\ve{L}} \\
&=& \nf{\ve{K}} \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{L}} \rp - \lp -1 \rp^{kl} \nf{\ve{L}} \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp + \lp -1 \rp^k \f{\pa} \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \nf{\ve{L}} \rp - \lp -1 \rp^{kl+l} \f{\pa} \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp \\
&=& \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \f{\pa} \rp \nf{\ve{L}} - \lp -1 \rp^{kl} \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \f{\pa} \rp \nf{\ve{K}} + \lp -1 \rp^k \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp \nf{\ve{L}} - \lp -1 \rp^{kl+l} \lp \f{\pa}\nf{\ve{L}} \rp \nf{\ve{K}} \\
&=& \lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \f{\pa} \rb \nf{\ve{L}} - \lp -1 \rp^{kl} \lb \nf{\ve{L}} , \f{\pa} \rb \nf{\ve{K}}
\end{eqnarray}
which gives all the FuN brackets and Lie derivatives as special cases. This FuN bracket of vector valued $k$ and $l$ forms is a vector valued $(k+l)$-form, and is defined to satisfy
$$
{\cal L}_{\lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \nf{\ve{L}} \rb_L} = \lb {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} , {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{L}}} \rb
$$
when acting on vectors or forms.
The FuN derivative has a number of other nice [[properties|FuN identities]].
//(Most everything here was learned from talking with [[Michael Edwards]] and reading [[Peter Michor]] et al. (Though the above explicit expression is mine, so if it's wrong, blame [[me|Garrett Lisi]]))//
The [[FuN derivative]] with respect to a [[vector valued k-form|vector valued form]], ${\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}}$, is a grade $k$ [[derivation]] that combines with itself and other operators in a number of ways. Like the [[Lie bracket|Lie derivative identities]], it is linear in both arguments.
The FuN Lie bracket may or may not change sign under the exchange of its vector valued $k$-form and vector valued $l$-form arguments,
$$
\lb \nf{\ve{K}}, \nf{\ve{L}} \rb_L = - \lp -1 \rp^{kl} \lb \nf{\ve{L}}, \nf{\ve{K}} \rb_L
$$
As a derivation, the FuN derivative operates on products of forms via the graded Liebniz rule,
$$
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \lp \nf{F} \nf{G} \rp
= \lp {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{F} \rp \nf{G} + \lp -1 \rp^{kf} \nf{F} \lp {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{G} \rp
$$
But it is not a derivation over products of VVFs and forms. Using some [[vector valued form identities]] we get
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{F} \rp &=& \lp \nf{\ve{K}} \f{\pa} \rp \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{F} \rp + \lp -1 \rp^k \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{F} \rp \\

- \lp-1\rp^{k\lp l-1\rp} {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{L}}\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{F}
\end{eqnarray}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{L}}\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{F} &=& \lp \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp \f{\pa} \rp \nf{F} - \lp-1\rp^{\lp l+k\rp} \lp \f{\pa} \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp \rp \nf{F} \\

\lp-1\rp^l \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{L}} \rp \nf{\ve{K}} - \nf{\ve{L}} \lp \f{\pa} \nf{\ve{K}} \rp + \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \f{\pa} \rp \nf{\ve{K}}
\rp \nf{F} \\

- \lp-1\rp^{k\lp l-1\rp} {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{F} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
which are linked by the last lines of each -- they are the same equation (an equation that may be used to define the FuN bracket of two VVF's in terms of the FuN derivatives of forms). A similar identity exists for three VVF's:
$$
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{L}}\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{\ve{M}}
= \nf{\ve{L}} \lp {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{\ve{M}} \rp
+ \lp-1\rp^{k\lp l-1\rp} \lp {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \nf{\ve{L}} \rp \nf{\ve{M}}
- \lp-1\rp^{k\lp l-1\rp} {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \lp \nf{\ve{L}} \nf{\ve{M}} \rp
- \lp-1\rp^{m\lp k+ l-1\rp} \lp {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{M}}} \nf{\ve{L}} \rp \nf{\ve{K}}
$$
When the two VVF's are written as $\nf{\ve{K}}=\nf{K^A} \ve{X_A}$ and $\nf{\ve{L}}=\nf{L^A} \ve{Y_A}$ their FuN bracket is
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb \nf{\ve{K}}, \nf{\ve{L}} \rb_L &=& \nf{K^A} \nf{L^B} \lb \ve{X_A}, \ve{Y_B} \rb_L + \nf{K^A} \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{X_A}} \nf{L^B} \rp \ve{Y_B}
- \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{Y_B}} \nf{K^A} \rp \nf{L^B} \ve{X_A} \\
&+& \lp -1 \rp^k \lp \f{d} \nf{K^A} \rp \ve{X_A} \nf{L^B} \ve{Y_B}
+ \lp -1 \rp^k \lp \ve{Y_B} \nf{K^A} \rp \lp \f{d} \nf{L^B} \rp \ve{X_A}
\end{eqnarray}
and, for the FuN bracket of a vector valued 1-form with itself,
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb \f{\ve{K}}, \f{\ve{K}} \rb_L &=& \f{K^A} \f{K^B} \lb \ve{X_A}, \ve{X_B} \rb_L + 2 \f{K^A} \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{X_A}} \f{K^B} \rp \ve{X_B}
- 2 \lp \f{d} \f{K^A} \rp \ve{X_A} \f{K^B} \ve{X_B}
\end{eqnarray}
When acting on forms, the FuN derivative commutes with the [[exterior derivative]],
$$
0 = \lb {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}}, \f{d} \rb = {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}} \f{d} + \lp -1 \rp^k \f{d} {\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{K}}}
$$
In fact, the FuN derivative of a form with respect to the [[identity projection|vector projection]] is the exterior derivative,
$$
{\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{I}}} \nf{F} = \f{d} \nf{F}
$$
and of a VVF is zero, ${\cal L}_{\nf{\ve{I}}} \nf{\ve{K}} = 0$.
Acting on itself twice, the FuN bracket satisfies the ''graded Jacobi identity'',
$$
\lb \nf{\ve{K}}, \lb \nf{\ve{L}} , \nf{\ve{M}} \rb_L \rb_L = \lb \lb \nf{\ve{K}}, \nf{\ve{L}} \rb_L, \nf{\ve{M}} \rb_L - \lp -1 \rp^{kl} \lb \nf{\ve{L}}, \lb \nf{\ve{K}} , \nf{\ve{M}} \rb_L \rb_L
$$
The rank $2$ exceptional group, ''G2'', is a real, [[simple]], compact, connected [[Lie group|Lie group]]. It may be described by [[exponentiating|exponentiation]] its $14$ dimensional [[Lie algebra]], [[g2]].

A fiber, $F$, is a representation space of a Lie group, $G$.
Entire space of a [[fiber bundle]]: $E \sim M \times F$
For a [[principal bundle]], $G$ is the fiber: $E \sim M \times G$

Three generations of fermions in three copies of $64^\mathbb{R}_{S+}$ of $spin(11,3)$, differing only in mass.
Triality?
$\s\;\;\;$ Maps between three blocks of $64$ in E8.
$\s\;\;\;$ These blocks have different quantum numbers -- doesn't seem viable.
$\s\;\;\;$ Look more closely at symmetry breaking.
Larger Lie group or supergroup?
$\s\;\;\;$ Orthosymplectic, $D(7,3)$ or ?
Larger algebra?
$\s\;\;\;$ E9. Possible relation to QFT.
$\s\;\;\;$ Leech lattice. Three E8's as inner shell.
$\s\;\;\;$ Kac-Moody algebras.
Axions?
$\s\;\;\;$ Use Peccei-Quinn charge, $w$, in E8 (and E6) and scalars in E8. $\;\;\;\; \th \ff{F} \ff{F} \;\;\;\;\; \big< \bar{\ps} \f{e} \th \f{e} \th \f{e} \th \ep \f{D} \ud{\ps} \big>$
$\s\;\;\;$ Fermions of different generations as axion-fermion composites. $\;\;\; \th+\ps$
$\s\;\;\;$ Used successfully in the past for solving the strong CP problem, and dealing with mirror fermions.
$\s\;\;\;$ E8 appears to come with a nice axion model building kit.

Real ''Grassmann numbers'', $\ud{a},\ud{b} \in \mathbb{G}$, are like real numbers but they anti-commute with each other, $\ud{a} \ud{b} = - \ud{b} \ud{a}$, and commute with reals. The square of a Grassmann number is necessarily zero, $\ud{a} \ud{a} = 0$. The product of two real Grassman numbers is a real number (acording to [[Ramond|http://www.amazon.com/Field-Theory-Modern-Frontiers-Physics/dp/0201304503/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9709999-3726336?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177293245&sr=8-1]]),
$$
\lp \ud{a} \ud{b} \rp^* = - \ud{b}^* \ud{a}^* = - \ud{b} \ud{a} = \ud{a} \ud{b} \in \mathbb{R}
$$
Since Grassmann numbers square to zero, the Taylor expansion of any function of Grassmann variables terminates at the first order,
$$
f(\ud{c}) = a + b \, \ud{c}
$$
Derivatives work as for real numbers (but make sure to change the sign when commuting them past other Grassmann numbers). Using the example above,
$$
\fr{\pa}{\pa \ud{c}} f(\ud{c}) = b
$$
Integrals are effectively the same as derivatives,
$$
\int{\ud{dc} \, f(\ud{c})} = b
$$
Using this rule, for two sets of Grassmann variables, $\ud{a^i},\ud{b^j}$, and a real matrix, $A$, integration gives the [[determinant]],
$$
\int{\ud{da} \, \ud{db} \, \exp(\ud{a^i} A_{ij} \ud{b^j}}) = \det A
$$
For a compex Grassmann number, $\ud{z} = \ud{x} + i \ud{y}$, its square and norm are:
\begin{eqnarray}
\ud{z} \ud{z} &=& i \ud{x} \ud{y} + i \ud{y} \ud{x} = 0 \\
\ud{z}^* \ud{z} &=& i \ud{x} \ud{y} - i \ud{y} \ud{x} = 2 i \ud{x} \ud{y} = - \ud{z} \ud{z}^* \in \mathbb{I}
\end{eqnarray}
An ''anti-Grassmann number'', $\od{a}$, contracts with a Grassmann number to give a real, $\od{a} \ud{b} \in \mathbb{R}$, just like in [[vector-form algebra]]. In fact, a Grassmann number may be thought of as a [[1-form]] in the space of functions. With this interpretation, the product of two Grassmann numbers is not a real, but a ''Grassmann grade two number''.
If [[spin(11,3) GraviGUT fermions]] are to fit in the quaternionic real form of [[e8]] they need to be in the $8^- \times 8^- + 8^+ \times 8^+$ representation space. This requires the introduction of another root coordinate, $w$, with the fermions and anti-fermions having $w = -1$; and so the following e8 root coordinates:
$$
\begin{array}{|l|cccccc|}
\hline

@@display:block;text-align:center;Gravitational frame bundle over 4D base.@@
<<tiddler HideTags>>The rest frame, $\f{e} \in \f{Cl^1}(1,3)$, is the fiber of spacetime: $\f{e} = \f{dx^i} (e_i)^\mu \ga_\mu$
This determines the metric: $g_{ij} = (e_i)^\mu \eta_{\mu \nu} (e_j)^\nu$
The gravitational spin connection, $\f{\om} \in \f{Cl^2}(1,3) = \f{so}(1,3)$, determines how the frame twists over the spacetime base manifold,
$$
\ff{T} = \f{D} \f{e} = \f{d} \f{e} + {\small \frac{1}{2}} \big[ \f{\om}, \f{e} \big]
$$
But the unified bosonic connection includes the frame:
$$
\f{H} = \ha \f{\om} + \f{G} + {\small \frac{1}{4}} \f{e} \ph
$$
This gives good dynamics for gravity and meshes perfectly with the standard model gauge group, and the Pati-Salam GUT, to act on fermion spinor multiplets:
$$

|>| !Group Properties |
| $\;$Ordered group product of elements:$\;$|$\; a \, b = c \;\; \in \; G$ |
| Identity element:$\;$|$\; a \,1 = 1 \, a = a$ |

The number of elements in a ''finite group'' is the ''order''.
An $n$ dimensional ''Lie group'' is a continuum of elements, $g(x) \in G$, parametrized by $n$ real (or complex) parameters, $x \in \Re^n$. It is also a manifold. Near the identity, $g(0)=1$, Lie group elements may be described by exponentiating $n$ ''Lie algebra'' generators, $T_A \in \mathfrak{g} = {\rm Lie}(G)$,
$$
g(x) = e^{x^A T_A} \simeq 1 + x^A T_A
$$
Finite collections of Lie group elements (maybe or maybe not connected to the identity) can make an embedded finite group.
A ''represenation space'' (or ''G-module''), $V$, is a real or complex vector space upon which a ''group representation'', $\Pi(G) \subset GL(V)$, or Lie algebra representation, $\pi(\mathfrak{g}) \subset GL(V)$, acts linearly. A representation is ''faithful'' iff every $\Pi(g)$ is unique and:
$$
\Pi(g_1 g_2) = \Pi(g_1) \Pi(g_2) \s\;\;\; \pi([X,Y]) = \pi(X) \pi(Y) - \pi(Y) \pi(X)

In [[quantum mechanics]] a state evolves by a [[unitary]] time evolution operator, $| \ps(t) \rangle = \hat{U}_t | \ps(0) \rangle$, according to the Schrödinger equation. Under this ''Schrödinger picture'', the operators, such as the position operator, $\hat{x}$, are not time dependent. In the ''Heisenberg picture'', we freeze the state vector, $| \ps \rangle = | \ps(0) \rangle$, and introduce time-dependent operators, such as $\hat{x}_t = \hat{U}^-_{t} \hat{x} \, \hat{U_t}$. The expectation values in either picture then are the same, $\langle \ps | \hat{x}_t | \ps \rangle = \langle \ps(t) | \hat{x} | \ps(t) \rangle$. The time dependence of a Heisenberg picture operator is thus governed by
$$
\fr{d}{dt} \hat{A}_t = \fr{i}{\hbar} \lb \hat{H}, \hat{A}_t \rb + \pa_t \hat{A}_t
$$
If we separate the Hamiltonian into a ''free'' part and an ''interaction'' part, $\hat{H}=\hat{H}_0 + \hat{H}_{\mathrm{int}}$, the ''interaction picture'', the state can evolve according to the interaction Hamiltonian and the operators can evolve according to the free Hamiltonian,
$$
\fr{d}{dt} | \ps(t) \rangle = \fr{1}{i \hbar} \hat{H}_{\mathrm{int}}(t) | \ps(t) \rangle \s \hat{A}_t = \hat{U}^{0-}_t \hat{A} \, \hat{U}^{0}_t
$$
in which $\hat{U}^{0}_t = e^{\fr{-i}{\hbar} \hat{H}_0 t}$ and $\hat{H}_{\mathrm{int}}(t) = \hat{U}^{0-}_t \hat{H}_{\mathrm{int}} \hat{U}^{0}_t$. The interaction picture is not valid if the Hamiltonian doesn't separate, such as in curved spacetime, where things can get weird.
The ''Hermitian conjugate'', $\hat{A}^\da$, of an operator, $\hat{A}$, acting on a [[unitary representation]] space is defined by conjugation within the [[Hermitian form]],
$$
\langle v | \hat{A}^\da | u \rangle = \langle \hat{A} v | u \rangle = \langle u | \hat{A} v \rangle^* = \langle u | \hat{A} | v \rangle^*
$$
where we've used bra-[[ket]] notation. If we use basis vectors, this gives the complex conjugate and matrix [[transpose]] for the [[matrix element]]s,
$$
A^\da{}_i{}^j = A^j{}_i{}^*
$$
A matrix or operator is ''Hermitian'' iff $\hat{A}^\da = \hat{A}$, and ''anti-Hermitian'' (or ''skew-Hermitian'') iff $\hat{A}^\da = -\hat{A}$.
A ''Hermitian form'' on a [[vector space]], $V$, is a map (bracket)
$$
\langle \cdot | \cdot \rangle : V \times V \to \mathbb{C}
$$
satisfying
$$
\langle v | a w + b u \rangle = a \langle v | w \rangle + b \langle v | u \rangle
$$
$$
\langle a v + b w | u \rangle = a^* \langle v | u \rangle + b^* \langle w | u \rangle
$$
$$
\langle v | u \rangle^* = \langle u | v \rangle
$$
for all $u,v,w \in V$ and $a,b \in \mathbb{C}$. It is like a [[metric]], but into the complex numbers instead of the reals. A vector space with Hermitian form is a [[Hilbert space]], with this bracket inspiring bra-[[ket]] notation. One also sometimes sees the Hermitian form written more compactly as $\langle u | v \rangle = u^\da v$.
If one has a metric, $g(u,v)$, on a vector space, and a compatible [[complex structure]], $g(u,i v)=-g(i u, v)$, then
$$
\li u | v \ri = g(u,v) - i g(u, i v)
$$
is a Hermitian form on the space.

A ''Hilbert space'', $\mathcal{H}$, is a usually complex, often infinite-dimensional, [[vector space]] equipped with a [[Hermitian form]]. It is the [[representation space]] (or module) of some [[unitary representation]].
Every [[differential form]] [[field|cotangent bundle]] may be decomposed as
$$
\nf{F} = \nf{\Om} + \f{d} \nf{\Phi} + \ve{\de} \nf{\Psi}
$$
in which $\nf{\Om}$ is [[harmonic]], $\f{d}$ is the [[exterior derivative]], and $\ve{\de}$ is the [[codifferential]].
Every [[closed]] differential form field, $\f{d} \nf{F} = 0$, may be decomposed as
$$
\nf{F} = \nf{\Om} + \f{d} \nf{\Phi}
$$
Therefore, the [[cohomology]] is the same as the space of harmonic forms -- Hodge's theorem. That's kind of strange, since cohomology doesn't require a [[metric]], while the [[Hodge dual]] does.
Ref:
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Rham_cohomology
*[[Vector Calculus and the Topology of Domains in 3-Space|papers/vectorcalc.pdf]]
There are duality transformations in and between the tangent and cotangent spaces similar to [[Clifford dual]]ity. For any [[differential form]] of grade $p$,
$$
\nf{a} = \fr{1}{p!} a_{\al \dots \be} \f{e^\al} \dots \f{e^\be}
$$
its ''vector dual'' (-p)-form is
$$
\bar{a} = \fr{1}{p!} a_{\al \dots \be} \et^{\al \ga} \dots \et^{\be \de} \ve{e_\ga} \dots \ve{e_\de}
$$
By multiplying any p-form by the (-n)-form, $\bar{e} = \ve{e_0} \ve{e_1} \dots \ve{e_{n-1}}$, one gets its ''Hodge vector dual'' (p-n)-form,
$$
\bar{* a} = \bar{e} \nf{a} = \ve{e_0} \ve{e_1} \dots \ve{e_{n-1}} \fr{1}{p!} a_{\al \dots \be} \f{e^\al} \dots \f{e^\be}
= \fr{1}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} a_{\al \dots \be} \ep^{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \ve{e_\ga} \dots \ve{e_\de}
$$
using [[vector-form algebra]] and the [[permutation symbol]]. And finally, by taking the form dual to this, one gets the ''Hodge dual'' (n-p)-form,
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
* \nf{a} = \nf{*a} &=& \fr{1}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} a_{\al \dots \be} \ep^{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \f{e_\ga} \dots \f{e_\de} \\
&=& \fr{\ll \et \rl}{\ll e \rl p! \lp n-p \rp!} a_{i \dots j} \va^{i \dots jk \dots l} g_{km} \dots g_{ln} \f{dx^m} \dots \f{dx^n}
\end{eqnarray}
$$
This ''Hodge operator'', $*$, which is only defined in the presence of a [[frame]] or [[metric]], is quite useful and allows the construction of the n-form product of any two p-forms, $\nf{a}$ and $\nf{b}$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\nf{*a}\nf{b} &=& \fr{1}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} a_{\al \dots \be} \ep^{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \f{e_\ga} \dots \f{e_\de} \fr{1}{p!} b_{\ep \dots \up} \f{e^\ep} \dots \f{e^\up}\\
&=& \fr{\ll \et \rl}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} \fr{1}{p!} a_{\al \dots \be} b_{\ep \dots \up} \ep^{\al \dots \be \ga \dots \de} \ep_{\ga \dots \de}{}^{\ep \dots \up} \nf{e}\\
&=& \nf{e} \fr{1}{p!} a_{\al \dots \be} b^{\al \dots \be} = \nf{e} \fr{1}{p!} a_{i \dots j} b^{i \dots j} = \nf{e} \lp \bar{a} \nf{b} \rp = \nf{a} \nf{*b}
\end{eqnarray}
relying on [[permutation identities]]. Just as the Clifford dual squares to $\pm 1$ depending on [[signature|Minkowski metric]], the Hodge dual of a p-form similarly squares to
\[ \nf{**a} = \ll \et \rl \lp -1 \rp^{p \lp n-p \rp} \nf{a} \]
There is an example important enough to address specifically. If $\ff{F} = \ha \f{e^\mu} \f{e^\nu} F_{\mu \nu}$ is a 2-form over a four dimensional space (or spacetime), then its Hodge dual is:
$$
\ff{*F} = \fr{1}{4} F_{\mu \nu} \ep^{\mu \nu \rh \si} \f{e_\rh} \f{e_\si} = \ff{\vv{\ep}} \ff{F}
$$
in which the ''Hodge dual projector'' is a 2-vector valued 2-form defined as
$$
\ff{\vv{\ep}} = - \f{e^\rh} \f{e^\si} \ep_{\rh \si}^{\p{\rh \si} \mu \nu} \ve{e_\mu} \ve{e_\nu} = - \f{e_\rh} \f{e_\si} \ep^{\rh \si \mu \nu} \ve{e_\mu} \ve{e_\nu}
= \left< \f{e} \f{e} \ga \ve{e} \ve{e} \right>
$$
which contracts with $\ff{F}$ via the [[vector-form algebra]]. Other Hodge dual projectors may be built corresponding to other cases.
There is a somewhat awkward but coordinate free expression for the Hodge dual, taking the angle brackets to group the enclosed Clifford elements and the parenthesis to group the form elements in
\begin{eqnarray}
\nf{*a} &=& \fr{1}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} < \lp \ve{e} \rp^p \ga^- ( \lp \f{e} \rp^{n-p} > \nf{a})\\
&=& \fr{1}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} \ve{e_\al} \dots \ve{e_\be} \lp \f{e^\ga} \dots \f{e^\de} \f{e^\ep} \dots \f{e^\up} \rp \li \ga^\al \dots \ga^\be \ga^- \ga_\ga \dots \ga_\de \ri \fr{1}{p!} a_{\ep \dots \up}\\

&=& \fr{1}{p! \lp n-p \rp!} \f{e_\al} \dots \f{e_\be} \ep^{\ga \dots \de \al \dots \be} a_{\ga \dots \de}
\end{eqnarray}
For a [[tangent vector]], $\ve{v}$, and a grade $p$ [[differential form]], $\nf{f}$, the [[vector-form algebra]] contraction can be equated with an expression involving the [[Hodge dual]],
$$\ve{v} \nf{f} = (-1)^{p(n-p)} * \lp \f{v} \nf{*f} \rp$$
in which $\f{v} = v^\al \et_{\al \be} \f{e^\be}$ is the form dual of $\ve{v}$.

A wonderfully prolific mathematical physicist, and all around good guy.
Access keys are shortcuts to common functions accessed by typing a letter with either the 'alt' (PC) or 'control' (Mac) key:
|!PC|!Mac|!Function|
|Alt-F|Ctrl-F|Search|
|Alt-J|Ctrl-J|NewJournal|
|Alt-N|Ctrl-N|NewNote|
|Alt-S|Ctrl-S|SaveChanges|
These access keys are provided by the associated internal [[Macros]] for the functions above. The macro needs to be used in an open note (or the [[MainMenu]] or SideBar) in order for the access keys to work.
While editing a note:
* ~Control-Enter or ~Control-Return accepts your changes and switches out of editing mode (use ~Shift-Control-Enter or ~Shift-Control-Return to stop the date and time being updated for MinorChanges)
* Escape abandons your changes and reverts the note to its previous state
In the search box:
* Escape clears the search term
A [[Lie algebra]], ${\frak g}$, is a [[vector space]] as well as an algebra, spanned by the basis vectors, $T_A$, and one may use the structure constants to build a natural [[metric]] giving a scalar result from two Lie algebra elements,
$$
\lp B, C \rp = {\rm Tr}({\rm Ad}_B {\rm Ad}_C) = T^D \lb B, \lb C, T_D \rb \rb = B^A C^B g_{AB}
$$
using the [[trace]] and Lie algebra adjoint action, ${\rm Ad}_B C = \lb B, C \rb$. The resulting metric coefficients are those of the ''Killing form'',
$$
g_{AB} = \lp T_A, T_B \rp = C_{AC}{}^D C_{BD}{}^C
$$
It is always possible to transform to a new set of generators, $T'_A = L_A{}^B T_B$, producing a new set of structure constants and hence a new metric, $\et_{AB} = L_A{}^C L_B{}^D g_{CD}$. As long as the metric is non-degenerate, which happens iff ${\frak g}$ is semi-[[simple]], it is possible to transform to a set of generators such that this metric is unit diagonal (with $+1$ and $-1$ entries like in the [[Minkowski metric]]) via the methods of [[spectral decomposition|eigen]]. This has already been done for most common generator representations used in physics, up to a constant factor, so that often $g_{AB} = \et_{AB} = \de_{AB}$.
Using the Jacobi identity, the Killing form is symmetric, $g_{AB} = g_{BA}$, and is ''adjoint invariant'',
\begin{eqnarray}
\lp \lb A, B \rb, C \rp &=& \lp A, \lb B, C \rb \rp \\
\lp g A g^-, C \rp &=& \lp A, g^- C g \rp
\end{eqnarray}
which implies the structure constants are antisymmetric in the last two indices,
$$
C_{ABC} = -C_{ACB}
$$
when the Killing forms $g_{AB}$ (and $g^{AB}$) are used to lower (and raise) Lie algebra indices, $C_{ABC}=C_{AB}{}^D g_{DC}$. Since we always have $C_{AB}{}^C = - C_{BA}{}^C$, the structure constants are completely [[antisymmetric|index bracket]],
$$
C_{ABC} = C_{\lb ABC \rb} = C_{BCA} = C_{CAB} = -C_{BAC} = -C_{ACB} = -C_{CBA}
$$
which is useful enough to call the ''Killing form identity''.
The ''inverse Killing form'', $g^{AB}$, is used to define the ''generator duals'', $T^A = g^{AB} T_B$, satisfying $\lp T^A, T_B \rp = \de^A_B$.
For some Lie algebras with [[Clifford algebra]] or matrix generators, the scalar part or trace gives the orthonormality relations
$$
\lp T_A, T_B \rp = g_{AB} \sim \li T_A T_B \ri = \de_{AB}
$$
A ''Killing spinor'' is a [[spinor]] field satisfying
$$
\f{\na} \ps = \la \f{e} \ps
$$
for some constant ''Killing number'', $\la$, in which $\f{\na}$ is the [[spinor covariant derivative]] and $\f{e}$ is the [[coframe|frame]].
The [[tangent vector]] field corresponding to a Killing spinor is a [[Killing vector]],
$$
\ve{\xi} = \left< \bar{\ps} \ga^\al \ps \right> \ve{e_\al}
$$
in which $\bar{\ps}$ is the [[Clifford conjugate]] of the spinor and $\ve{e_\al}$ are [[frame]] vectors.
A ''Killing vector'' field, $\ve{\xi}(x)$, is the generator of a [[flow]], $\ph_t = e^{t {\cal L}_{\ve{\xi}}}$, that leaves the geometry of a [[manifold]] invariant — constituting a symmetry of the geometry. It is a [[tangent vector field|tangent bundle]] satisfying ''Killing's equation'',
$$
L_{\ve{\xi}} \f{e} = B \times \f{e}
$$
The [[Lie derivative]] of the [[frame]] along a Killing vector field gives a [[rotation|Clifford rotation]] of the frame by some corresponding Clifford bivector field, $B (x) \in Cl^2$,
$$
L_{\ve{\xi}} \f{e^\al} = B_\be{}^\al \f{e^\be}
$$
with ''Killing rotation coefficients'', $B_\be{}^\al = - B^\al{}_\be$. This version of Killing's equation, or equivalently,
$$
L_{\ve{\xi}} \ve{e_\al} = - B_\al{}^\be \ve{e_\be}
$$
matches the usual definition that the Lie derivative of the [[metric]] along a Killing vector field vanishes.
Any set of Killing vector fields is related through the [[Lie bracket|Lie derivative]],
$$
\lb \ve{\xi_A}, \ve{\xi_B} \rb_L = C_{AB}{}^C \ve{\xi_C}
$$
with $C_{AB}{}^C$ the set of ''structure constants'' for the symmetries. The manifold [[diffeomorphism]]s ([[isometries|local Lorentz transformation]]) built from the flows generated by a set of Killing vector fields constitute a [[Lie group]].
A Killing vector field has many nice [[properties|Killing vector identities]].
The defining equation of a [[Killing vector]] field, $\ve{\xi}$, is
\begin{eqnarray}
B_\be{}^\al \f{e^\be} &=& {\cal L}_{\ve{\xi}} \f{e^\al} = \ve{\xi} \lp \f{d} \f{e^\al} \rp + \f{d} \xi^\al \\
&=& \ve{\xi} \lp \f{w}{}_\be{}^\al \f{e^\be} + \ff{T^\al} \rp + \f{d} \xi^\al \\
&=& \f{e^\be} \lp \xi^\de w_{\de \be}{}^\al - \xi^\de w_{\be \de}{}^\al + 2 \xi^\de T_{\de \be}{}^\al + \pa_\be \xi^\al \rp
\end{eqnarray}
by virtue of the defining equations for the [[Lie derivative]], the [[cotangent bundle connection]], and the [[torsion]]. This gives a useful expression for the derivative of the Killing vector field coefficients,
$$
\pa_\be \xi_\al = B_{\be \al} - \xi^\de w_{\de \be \al} + \xi^\de w_{\be \de \al} - 2 \xi^\de T_{\de \be \al}
$$
The [[1-form dual|frame]] to the Killing vector field is $\f{\xi} = \xi_\al \f{e^\al} = \xi^\be \et_{\be \al} \f{e^\al}$. The cotangent bundle covariant derivative of this field is
$$
\f{\na} \f{\xi} = \f{e^\be} \na_\be \lp \xi_\al \f{e^\al} \rp
= \f{e^\be} \f{e^\ga} \lp \pa_\be \xi_\ga + \xi_\al w_{\be \ga}{}^\al \rp
= \f{e^\be} \f{e^\ga} \lp B_{\be \ga} - \xi^\de w_{\de \be \ga} - 2 \xi^\de T_{\de \be \ga} \rp
$$
Similarly,
$$
\f{\na} \ve{\xi} = \f{e^\be} \na_\be \lp \xi^\al \ve{e_\al} \rp
= \f{e^\be} \ve{e_\ga} \lp \pa_\be \xi^\ga + \xi^\al w_\be{}^\ga{}_\al \rp
= \f{e^\be} \ve{e_\ga} \lp B_\be{}^\ga - \xi^\de w_{\de \be}{}^\ga - 2 \xi^\de T_{\de \be}{}^\ga \rp
$$
If $\ve{v}$ is the velocity along a [[geodesic]],
$$
0 = \ve{v} \f{\na} \ve{v} = v^\al \lp \pa_\al v^\de + v^\be w_\al{}^\de{}_\be \rp \ve{e_\de}
$$
the component of this velocity along any Killing vector field, $p = \lp \ve{v}, \ve{\xi} \rp = \ve{v} \f{\xi}$, is constant along the geodesic,
$$
\ve{v} \f{d} p = v^\al \pa_\al \lp v^\be \xi_\be \rp
= v^\al \lp \pa_\al v^\be \rp \xi_\be + v^\al v^\be \lp \pa_\al \xi_\be \rp
= v^\al \lp \pa_\al v^\de \rp \xi_\de + v^\al v^\be \lp w_{\al \de \be} \xi^\de - 2 \xi^\de T_{\de \al \be} \rp
= 0
$$
as long as the torsion vanishes, or at least $T_{\de \lp \al \be \rp} = 0$.
If the Killing vector field is of constant length, $\ve{\xi} \f{\xi} = \xi^\al \xi_\al = c$, then
$$
0 = \pa_\be \lp \xi^\al \xi_\al \rp = 2 \xi^\al \lp \pa_\be \xi_\al \rp
= 2 \xi^\al \lp B_{\be \al} - \xi^\de w_{\de \be \al} - 2 \xi^\de T_{\de \be \al} \rp
$$
and the integral curves of the Killing vector field are geodesics,
$$
\ve{\xi} \f{\na} \ve{\xi} = \xi^\be \ve{e_\ga} \lp B_\be{}^\ga - \xi^\de w_{\de \be}{}^\ga \rp = 0
$$
as long as the torsion vanishes or $T_{\de \lp \al \be \rp} = 0$.
The ''Kronecker product'' (//''tensor product''//), $\otimes$, of an $m$ by $n$ [[matrix|linear operator]], $A$, and a $p$ by $q$ matrix, $B$, is an $mp$ by $nq$ matrix, $C = A \otimes B$,
$$
C_{\lp \lp a - 1 \rp p + x \rp}{}^{\lp \lp b - 1 \rp q + y \rp} = A_a{}^b B_x{}^y
$$
It is a ''block'' matrix of $B$'s multiplied by the entries of $A$. For example,
$$
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
1 & 2\\
3 & 1
\end{array} \rb
\otimes
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 3\\
2 & 1
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
1
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 3\\
2 & 1
\end{array} \rb
& 2
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 3\\
2 & 1
\end{array} \rb
\\
3
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 3\\
2 & 1
\end{array} \rb
& 1
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 3\\
2 & 1
\end{array} \rb
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 3 & 0 & 6\\
2 & 1 & 4 & 2\\
0 & 9 & 0 & 3\\
6 & 3 & 2 & 1
\end{array} \rb
$$
This product spawns several identities, including:
$$
\lp A \otimes B \rp \lp C \otimes D \rp = A C \otimes B D
$$

A ''Lie algebra'', $\mathfrak{g}$, consists of elements of a $N$ dimensional [[vector space]], $B=B^A T_A \in {\rm Lie}(G) = \mathfrak{g}$, composed of real (or complex, for a complex Lie algebra) coefficients, $B^A$, multiplying $N$ ''Lie algebra generators'', $T_A$. The elements are closed under a ''Lie algebra bracket'', equal to the Lie algebra [[adjoint action|adjoint representation]] of one element on another,
$$
{\rm Ad}_A B = \lb A, B \rb = C
$$
and equivalent to the [[commutator]] relation. Working in some [[representation]], the Lie algebra brackets of the generators,
$$
\lb T_A , T_B \rb = T_A T_B - T_B T_A = C_{AB}{}^C T_C
$$
give the real or complex ''structure constants'' (//''structure coefficients''//), $C_{AB}{}^C = - C_{BA}{}^C$, for the Lie algebra. The generators may, for example, be [[Clifford basis elements]] ($T_A=\ga_A$), square matrices, or abstract operators. The bracket must satisfy the ''Jacobi identity'',
\begin{eqnarray}
0 &=& \lb A, \lb B , C \rb \rb + \lb B, \lb C , A \rb \rb + \lb C, \lb A , B \rb \rb \\
0 &=& C_{AD}{}^E C_{BC}{}^D + C_{BD}{}^E C_{CA}{}^D + C_{CD}{}^E C_{AB}{}^D
\end{eqnarray}
which resembles the product rule for derivatives,
$$
\lb A, \lb B , C \rb \rb = \lb \lb A, B \rb , C \rb + \lb B, \lb A , C \rb \rb
$$
and is identical to the [[Clifford Jacobi identity|Clifford product identities]].
Although the choice of generators is somewhat arbitrary, every Lie algebra has a specific [[Lie algebra structure]].
It has been seen that an $n$ dimensional [[Clifford algebra]] can be interpreted as a $2^n$ dimensional [[Lie algebra]], with the [[Clifford basis elements]] identified as generators, $\ga_{\al \dots \be} \sim T_A$, and the Lie bracket given by the [[Clifford basis identities]]. It is also the case that any $n$ dimensional Lie algebra may be identified as a subalgebra of the bivector algebra of an $n$ dimensional Clifford algebra. This representation may be made as:
$$
T_A = - \fr{1}{4} C_A{}^{BC} \ga_{BC}
$$
employing the Lie algebra structure constants, the Clifford bivector basis elements, and using the unit diagonal [[Killing form]], $g^{BD}=\et^{BD}$, as the Clifford algebra metric and to raise the structure constant indices. This representation faithfully gives
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb T_A, T_D \rb &=& \fr{1}{8} C_A{}^{BC} C_D{}^{EF} \ga_{BC} \times \ga_{EF} \\
&=& \ha C_A{}^{BC} C_{DC}{}^E \ga_{BE} \\
&=& - \fr{1}{4} C_{AD}{}^C C_C{}^{BE} \ga_{BE} \\
&=& C_{AD}{}^C T_C
\end{eqnarray}
via the [[Jacobi identity|Lie algebra]] and Clifford basis identities. These Lie algebra generators are orthogonal,
\begin{eqnarray}

in the [[scalar part]] (trace) operator. Note that the $2^{[n/2]}$ dimensional [[Clifford matrix representation]] gives a corresponding matrix representation for the Lie algebra.
A ''Lie algebra automorphism'' is a map from a [[Lie algebra]] to itself, $\ph : \mathfrak{g} \mapsto \mathfrak{g}$, that preserves its structure,
$$
\lb \ph A, \ph \, B \rb = \ph \, C \s \forall \;\; A,B,C
$$
This will be the case iff the structure constants are invariant, $C_{AB}{}^C \to C'_{AB}{}^C = C_{AB}{}^C$. The automorphism can be written as a linear matrix operator, $\ph_B{}^C$, acting on either the basis generators or on the components,
$$
A' = \ph A = T_B \, \phi^B{}_C \, A^C = T_B A'^B = T'_C A^C
$$
with $A'^B = \phi^B{}_C \, A^C$ or $T'_C = T_B \, \ph^B{}_C$, but acting on the basis generators makes much more sense. The brackets of the transformed generators are
$$
C'_{AB}{}^C T'_C = \lb T'_A, T'_B \rb = \lb T_C \ph^C{}_A, T_D \ph^D{}_B \rb
= T_E C_{CD}{}^E \ph^C{}_A \ph^D{}_B
$$
with the transformation an automorphism iff
$$
C'_{AB}{}^C = C_{FD}{}^E \ph^F{}_A \ph^D{}_B \ph^-_E{}^C = C_{AB}{}^C
$$
A Lie algebra [[automorphism]] is ''inner'' if it corresponds to the action of a [[Lie group]] element, $A' = \ph A = g_\ph A \, g_\ph^-$ with $g_\ph \in G$.
A ''Lie algebra involution'' is a [[Lie algebra automorphism]] that squares to the identity, $\ph \, \ph = 1$. A Lie algebra involution splits a Lie algebra, $\mathfrak{g}$, into a [[subalgebra]], ${\mathfrak{g}}_+$, and a [[representation space]], ${\mathfrak{h}}_-$, which are [[eigen]]spaces of the involution, $\ph \; {\mathfrak{h}}_\pm = \pm {\mathfrak{h}}_\pm$. Working this through the Lie bracket, we see that elements of these ''involution pair''s must satisfy
\begin{eqnarray}
\left[ {\mathfrak{h}}_+ , {\mathfrak{h}}_+ \right] &=& {\mathfrak{h}}_+ \\
\left[ {\mathfrak{h}}_+ , {\mathfrak{h}}_- \right] &=& {\mathfrak{h}}_- \\
\left[ {\mathfrak{h}}_- , {\mathfrak{h}}_- \right] &=& {\mathfrak{h}}_+
\end{eqnarray}
An involution is a [[Cartan involution|Cartan decomposition]] iff the [[Killing form]] is negative definite for ${\mathfrak{h}}_+$ and positive definite for ${\mathfrak{h}}_-$, and they are orthogonal complements.
The structure of every [[simple]] [[Lie algebra]] may be elucidated by arranging the generators to span different sub-spaces. The ''rank'', $R$, of a $N$ dimensional Lie algebra is the maximal number if inter-commuting orthogonal generators, $T^\mathfrak{C}_I$,
$$
\big[ T^\mathfrak{C}_I, T^\mathfrak{C}_J \big] = 0 \;\;\;\; \forall \;\; 1 \le I,J \le R
$$
These generators span a $R$ dimensional [[vector space]], the ''Cartan subalgebra'', $\mathfrak{C}$, with elements, $C = C^J T^\mathfrak{C}_J \in \mathfrak{C}$. [[Exponentiating|exponentiation]] the Cartan subalgebra gives the ''maximal torus'' -- a $R$ dimensional [[submanifold]] of the [[Lie group manifold|Lie group geometry]]. Although called a torus, this can be a hyperbola, as some basis generators may have positive norm. Generally, a Cartan subalgebra has a [[Cartan decomposition]], $\mathfrak{C} = \mathfrak{k} \oplus \mathfrak{p}$, with compact and noncompact subspaces spanned by ''compact generators'', satisfying $\lp T^\mathfrak{k}_A, T^\mathfrak{k}_A \rp = -1$, and ''hyperbolic generators'', satisfying $\lp T^\mathfrak{p}_M, T^\mathfrak{p}_M \rp = +1$.
The adjoint action of Cartan subalgebra elements, ${\rm Ad}_C$, may be represented by a $(N \times N)$ matrix, $M$, acting on other Lie algebra elements, $B = B^A T_A$, as vectors,
$$
M \, B = [ C , B ] = {\rm Ad}_C \, B = C^I \big[ T^\mathfrak{C}_I , T_A \big] B^A = T_D \big( C^I C_{IA}{}^D \big) B^A = T_D M^D_{\p{D}A} B^A
$$
The components of $M$ may be written in terms of the structure constants as $M^D_{\p{D}A} = C^I C_{IA}{}^D$. Since $M(C)$ is linear in the $C^I$ it can also be written as $M = C^I M_I$, with the mutually-commuting $M_I$ matrices having components $(M_I)^D{}_A = C_{IA}{}^D$. The structure of the Lie algebra may be understood in terms of the complex [[eigen]]values and eigenvectors of $M$, or equivalently the mutual eigenvectors of the $M_I$ and corresponding eigenvalues. Geometrically, these eigenvalues describe how the eigenvector directions twist over the maximal torus.
Since $M \, C = 0$ for any $C$ in the Cartan subalgebra, $R$ of the eigenvalues of $M$ will be $0$, with this null eigenspace equal to $\mathfrak{C}$. The remaining $(N-R)$ eigenvectors of $M$ come in pairs, $V_{\pm j}$, with each corresponding to a unique complex eigenvalue,
$$
M(C) \, V_{\pm j} = \pm \al_j(C) V_{\pm j} \s \s
M_I \, V_{\pm j} = \lb T^\mathfrak{C}_I , V_{\pm j} \rb = \pm \al_{jI} V_{\pm j} = \pm \lp \al_{jI}^\mathbb{R} + i \, \al_{jI}^\mathbb{I} \rp V_{\pm j}
$$
(no sum over $j$). The $\pm \al_j$ are called positive or negative ''roots'', and the eigenvalues, $\pm \al_{jI}$, the ''root components'', with corresponding eigenvectors, $V_{\pm j}$, called the positive or negative ''root vector''s. The root components corresponding to compact generators, $T^\mathfrak{k}_A$, are imaginary, $\al_{jA} = i \, \al_{jA}^\mathbb{I} \in \mathbb{I}$, while the root components corresponding to hyperbolic generators, $T^\mathfrak{p}_M$, are real, $\al_{jM} = \al_{jM}^\mathbb{R} \in \mathbb{R}$. (For a generalized, infinite-dimensional Lie algebra this is not necessarily the case!)
Getting a bit fancier, the roots may be identified as elements, $\al_j \in \mathfrak{C}^*$, of the complex [[dual space]] to the Cartan subalgebra, $\al_j : \mathfrak{C} \to \mathbb{C}$. Written in terms of dual basis elements, $T_\mathfrak{C}^K = g^{KJ} T^\mathfrak{C}_J$, they are $\al_j = \al_{jK} T_\mathfrak{C}^K$, so
$$
\al_j(C) = \al_j \, C = \al_{jK} T_\mathfrak{C}^K \, C^I T^\mathfrak{C}_I = \al_{jK} C^K \in \mathbb{C}
$$
Via the dual to the [[Killing form]], the inner product on this space is naturally Euclidean (for a finite dimensional Lie group) and gives an ''inner product of roots'',
$$
\al_i \cdot \al_j = \, <\! \al_i, \al_j \!> \; = \lp \al_i, \al_j \rp = \al_{iJ} \al_{jK} g^{JK}
= \al_{iJ}^\mathbb{R} \al_{jK}^\mathbb{R} \de^{JK} + \al_{iJ}^\mathbb{I} \al_{jK}^\mathbb{I} \de^{JK}
$$
The collection of roots form a [[root system]] in $R$ dimensional ''root space'' and completely determine the Lie algebra. Because compact Lie groups are favored in physics, imaginary root components correspond to real elementary particle charges. Also, this inner product is positive definite for Lie algebras, but singular for an [[affine Lie algebra]] and indefinite for a [[Generalized Lie algebra|Borcherds algebra]].
At its ''core'', every real Lie algebra consists of interlinked [[su(2)]] and/or [[sl(2)]] subalgebras. To elucidate this structure, we can define complex Cartan subalgebra elements dual to the roots,
$$
h_i = \al_{iJ} g^{JK} T^\mathfrak{C}_K = \al^\mathbb{R}_{iM} \de^{MN} T^\mathfrak{p}_N + i \, \al^\mathbb{I}_{iA} \de^{AB} T^\mathfrak{k}_B
$$
satisfying
$$
\al_j (h_i) = \;<\! \al_j, \al_i \!>\; = \lp h_j, h_i \rp
$$
If we normalize our root vectors, $\lp e_{+i}, e_{-i} \rp = 1$, a complete set of nonvanishing Lie brackets in the ''Cartan-Weyl basis'', $\{ T^\mathfrak{k}_A, T^\mathfrak{p
}_M, e_{\pm i} \}$, is
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb T^\mathfrak{k}_A , e_{\pm j} \rb &=& \pm \, i \, \al_{jA}^\mathbb{I} \, e_{\pm j} \\
\lb T^\mathfrak{p}_M , e_{\pm j} \rb &=& \pm \, \al_{jM}^\mathbb{R} \, e_{\pm j} \\
\lb e_{+i} , e_{-i} \rb &=& h_i = \al^\mathbb{R}_{iM} \de^{MN} T^\mathfrak{p}_N + i \, \al^\mathbb{I}_{iA} \de^{AB} T^\mathfrak{k}_B \\
\lb e_{\pm i} , e_{\pm j} \rb &=& n_{\pm i,\pm j} \, e_{\pm k} \\
\end{eqnarray}
In the last bracket above the only non-vanishing brackets have roots that add to give another root, $\pm \al_i \pm \al_j = \pm \al_k$, and the normalization coefficients, $n_{\pm i, \pm j}$, must be determined consistently. For a non-split Lie algebra, the Cartan-Weyl basis results in complex structure constants which can be brought into real form by transforming to a [[real Cartan-Weyl basis]].
The $h_i$ are a complex, non-orthogonal set of Cartan subalgebra generators. The $h_a$, corresponding to simple roots, span the Cartan subalgebra, and can be used in the ''Chevalley-Cartan basis'', $\{ h_a, e_{\pm i} \}$, with non-vanishing brackets
$$
\lb h_a , e_{\pm j} \rb = \pm <\! \al_a, \al_j \!> e_{\pm j} \s \s
\lb e_{+i} , e_{-i} \rb = \al_i{}^a h_a
$$
as well as the brackets between the non-conjugate $e_{\pm i}$. They $h_a$ are similar in function to the gravitational [[frame]] that determines a [[metric]].
If we define ''co-roots'', $\al^\vee = \fr{2}{< \al, \al >} \al$, we can use these to define corresponding complex Cartan elements, $H_i = \fr{2}{< \al_i, \al_i>} h_i$, and re-scale our root vectors, $E_{\pm i} = \sqrt{\fr{2}{< \al_i, \al_i >}} e_{\pm i}$, with the resulting ''Chevalley basis'', $\{ H_a, E_{\pm i} \}$, having brackets
\begin{eqnarray}
\big[ H_a , H_b \big] &=& 0 \\
\big[ H_a , E_{\pm i} \big] &=& \pm \al_i{}^b A_{ab} E_{\pm i} \\
\big[ E_{+i} , E_{-i} \big] &=& H_i = \al_i{}^a \fr{<\! \al_a, \al_a \!>}{<\! \al_i, \al_i \!>} H_a \\
\big[ E_{\pm i} , E_{\pm j} \big] &=& N_{\pm i, \pm j} \, E_{\pm k} \\
Ad_{(E_{\pm a})^{1-A_{ab}}} \lp E_{\pm b} \rp &=& 0
\end{eqnarray}
in which $A_{ab} = 2 \fr{< \al_a , \al_b >}{< \al_a , \al_a >}$ is the [[Cartan matrix|root system]] and $\al_i = \al_i{}^a \al_a$ in terms of simple roots. The ''normalization coefficients'', $N_{\pm i, \pm j}$, are zero if $\pm \al_i \pm \al_j = \pm \al_k$ is not a root and otherwise are $\pm (p+1)$, with $p$ equal to the largest integer such that $\pm \al_j \mp p \al_i$ is a root. The normalization coefficient signs are determined via an [[asymmetry function]], and we have $N_{+i, +j} = N_{-i, -j} = -N_{+j, +i}$ and $N_{+i, -j} = N_{-i, +j} = -N_{-j, +i}$. If the root components in the Chevalley brackets are all real, the Lie algebra is a split real form, containing $R$ distinct [[sl(2)]] [[subalgebra]]s spanned by the $\{ H_a, E_{\pm a} \}$.
A ''real Chevalley basis'' for a compact real form, containing $R$ distinct [[su(2)]] subalgebras, is obtained by defining the real and imaginary parts of the root vectors, $E^\mathbb{R}_j =
\ha (E_{+j} + E_{-j})$ and $E^\mathbb{I}_j = \fr{i}{2} (E_{+j} - E_{-j})$, as well as $H'_a = i H_a$, with brackets
\begin{eqnarray}
\big[ H'_a , E^{\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{I}}_j \big] &=& \pm \al^{\mathbb{I}}_j{}^b A_{ab} E^{\mathbb{I}/\mathbb{R}}_j \\
\big[ E^{\mathbb{R}}_j , E^{\mathbb{I}}_j \big] &=& - \ha \, H'_j \\
\big[ E^{\mathbb{R}}_i , E^{\mathbb{R}}_j \big] &=& \ha N_{+i, +j} \, E^{\mathbb{R}}_k + \ha N_{+i, -j} \, E^{\mathbb{R}}_{k'} \\
\big[ E^{\mathbb{R}}_i , E^{\mathbb{I}}_j \big] &=& \ha N_{+i, +j} \, E^{\mathbb{I}}_k - \ha N_{+i, -j} \, E^{\mathbb{I}}_{k'} \\
\big[ E^{\mathbb{I}}_i , E^{\mathbb{I}}_j \big] &=& -\ha N_{+i, +j} \, E^{\mathbb{R}}_k + \ha N_{+i, -j} \, E^{\mathbb{R}}_{k'} \\
\end{eqnarray}
This has an evident [[complex structure|structures on a real representation space]], $J^C E^{\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{I}}_i = \pm E^{\mathbb{I}/\mathbb{R}}_i$, compatible with the Cartan subalgebra, $[ H'_a, J^C E^{\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{I}}_b ] = J^C [ H'_a, E^{\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{I}}_b ]$, so the root vectors are also $J_C$ eigenvectors, $J^C E_{\pm j} = \pm i E_{\pm j}$. All real Lie algebras have, at their core, a set of $R$ stitched together [[sl(2)]]'s and [[su(2)]]'s, with the corresponding [[structures on a real representation space]]. A good example of a real Lie algebra with mixed compact and non-compact structure is [[spin(1,3)]].

[[Differential Operators and Actions of Lie Algebroids|papers/0209337.pdf]]
The ''Lie derivative'' is the rate of change of any field perceived by an observer as she moves along a path with some [[velocity|tangent vector]], $\ve{v}$. Basically, the field where she is going is pulled back and compared with the field where she's at. This description is extended to give the Lie derivative, ${\cal L}_{\ve{v}}$, with respect to a [[flow]], $\ph_t$, giving the rate of change of any field perceived by observers at every manifold point as they move according to the velocity field, $\ve{v}(x)$. The parameterized flow is given to first order in $t$ by
$$
\ph_t^i(x) \simeq x^i + t v^i(x)
$$
The Lie derivative of any field, $X$, is a [[natural]] operator defined as
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} X = \fr{d}{d t} \ph_t^* X = \fr{d}{d t} X(t) = \lim_{t \to 0} \fr{\ph_t^*X - X}{t} = \lim_{t \to 0} \fr{ \lp \ph_{-t} \rp_* X - X}{t}
$$
in which
$$
\ph_t^*X = \ph_t^*\lb X \rl_{\ph_t} \simeq \ph_t^* \lp \lb X \rl_x + t v^i \pa_i \lb X \rl_x \rp
$$
is the [[pullback]] of the field from where the flow is going back to the initial points, expanded to first order in $t$.
If the field is a [[function]] over the manifold, the Lie derivative of this field is the same as the [[directional derivative|tangent vector]] of this function with respect to the velocity field at every point,
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} f = \fr{d}{d t} f(x) = \lim_{t \to 0} \fr{\ph_t^*f - f}{t} = v^i \pa_i f = \ve{v} \f{d} f
$$
If the field is a [[1-form|cotangent bundle]] field, $\f{f} = \f{dx^i} f_i(x)$, the pullback along the flow is
$$
\ph_t^*\f{f} = \f{dx^i} \lb \fr{\pa \ph_t^j}{\pa x^i} \rb f_j(\ph_t)
\simeq \f{dx^i} \lb \de^j_i + t \pa_i v^j \rb \lb f_j(x) + t v^k \pa_k f_j(x) \rb
\simeq \f{dx^i} \lp f_i + t v^k \pa_k f_i + t f_j \pa_i v^j \rp
$$
and the Lie derivative is thus
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \f{f} &=& \lim_{t \to 0} \fr{\ph_t^*\f{f} - \f{f}}{t}
= \f{dx^i} \lp v^k \pa_k f_i + f_j \pa_i v^j \rp \\
&=& \lp \ve{v} \f{\pa} \rp \f{f} + \lp \f{\pa} \ve{v} \rp \f{f} \\
&=& \ve{v} \lp \f{d} \f{f} \rp + \f{d} \lp \ve{v} \f{f} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
using the [[exterior derivative]], [[partial derivative]], and [[vector-form algebra]]. For any differential form or [[Clifform]] field with form grade greater than zero this generalizes to give ''Cartan's formula'' for the Lie derivative,
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \, \nf{F}
&=& \lp \ve{v} \f{\pa} \rp \nf{F} + \lp \f{\pa} \ve{v} \rp \nf{F} \\
&=& \ve{v} \lp \f{d} \nf{F} \rp + \f{d} \lp \ve{v} \nf{F} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
and another nice formula (easier for computations) obtained via the power of vector-form algebra and the partial derivative operator.
If the field is a [[vector|tangent bundle]] field, $\ve{u}(x)$, the pushforward along the negative flow of the velocity at where the flow goes is
$$
\lp \ph_{-t} \rp_* \ve{u} = u^j(\ph_t) \lb \fr{\pa \ph_{-t}^i}{\pa x^j} \rb \ve{\pa_i}
\simeq \lb u^j + t v^k \pa_k u^j \rb \lb \de^i_j - t \pa_j v^i \rb \ve{\pa_i}
\simeq \lp u^j + t v^k \pa_k u^i - t u^j \pa_j v^i \rp \ve{\pa_i}
$$
and the the Lie derivative of a vector field is thus
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \ve{u} = \lim_{t \to 0} \fr{ \lp \ph_{-t} \rp_* \ve{u} - \ve{u}}{t}
= \lp v^k \pa_k u^i - u^j \pa_j v^i \rp \ve{\pa_i}
= \ve{v} \f{\pa} \ve{u} - \ve{u} \f{\pa} \ve{v}
$$
The Lie derivative of one velocity field with respect to another defines the ''Lie bracket'',
$$
\lb \ve{v}, \ve{u} \rb_L = {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \ve{u} = - \lb \ve{u}, \ve{v} \rb_L
$$
The Lie derivative has a number of nice [[properties|Lie derivative identities]].
The [[Lie derivative]] is a natural, fundamental derivative operator on any geometric field on a manifold.
By virtue of Cartan's formula, it commutes with the [[exterior derivative]] operator when acting on [[function]]s, [[differential form]]s or [[Clifform]]s,
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \f{d} \nf{F} = \f{d} \lp \ve{v} \lp \f{d} \nf{F} \rp \rp = \f{d} {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F}
$$
but not always when acting on vector fields.
It is linear in both the velocity field,
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v} + \ve{u}} X = {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} X + {\cal L}_{\ve{u}} X
$$
and argument,
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \lp X + Y \rp = {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} X + {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} Y
$$
The Lie derivative is a grade $0$ [[derivation]], acting on various products of fields via the Liebniz rule,
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \lp a \nf{F} \rp &=& \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} a \rp \nf{F} + a \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F} \rp \\
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \lp \f{a} \nf{F} \rp &=& \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \f{a} \rp \nf{F} + \f{a} \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F} \rp \\
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \lp \ve{a} \nf{F} \rp &=& \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \ve{a} \rp \nf{F} + \ve{a} \lp {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F} \rp \\
\end{eqnarray}
Scaling the velocity field by a function results in
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{f \ve{v}} \nf{F} &=& f {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F} + \lp \f{d} f \rp \lp \ve{v} \nf{F} \rp \\
{\cal L}_{f \ve{v}} \ve{u} &=& f {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \ve{u} - \lp \ve{u} \f{d} f \rp \ve{v}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[commutator]] of Lie derivatives with respect to two velocity fields acting on anything is equal to the Lie derivative with respect to the Lie bracket of the two velocity fields,
$$
\lb {\cal L}_{\ve{v}}, {\cal L}_{\ve{u}} \rb = {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} {\cal L}_{\ve{u}} - {\cal L}_{\ve{u}} {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} = {\cal L}_{\lb \ve{v}, \ve{u} \rb_L}
$$
This gives the [[Jacobi identity|Lie algebra]] for the Lie bracket when acting on a vector field,
$$
\lb \lb \ve{v}, \ve{u} \rb_L, \ve{w} \rb_L = - \lb \lb \ve{u}, \ve{w} \rb_L, \ve{v} \rb_L + \lb \lb \ve{v}, \ve{w} \rb_L, \ve{u} \rb_L
$$
The Lie derivative of [[fiber bundle]] basis elements (other than tangent or cotangent bundle basis), such as [[Clifford basis elements]], is zero,
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \ga_\al = 0
$$
The definition of the Lie derivative in terms of the flow allows the flow to be written as the [[exponentiation]] of the Lie derivative,
$$
X(t) = \ph_t^* X = e^{t {\cal L}_{\ve{v}}} X
$$
For a surface, $\Si_t$, carried along with the flow, the time derivative of an integral over that surface is
$$
\fr{d}{d t} \int_{\Si_t} \nf{F} = \int_{\Si_t} {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F}
$$
which combines consistently with [[Stoke's theorem|integration]],
$$
\fr{d}{d t} \int_{\pa \Si_t} \nf{F}
= \fr{d}{d t} \int_{\Si_t} \f{d} \nf{F}
= \int_{\Si_t} {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \f{d} \nf{F}
= \int_{\pa \Si_t} {\cal L}_{\ve{v}} \nf{F}
$$
An $n$ dimensional ''Lie group'' is a [[group]] of infinitely many elements, $g(x) \in G$, parametrized by $n$ real (or complex, for a complex Lie group) parameters, $x \in \Re^n$. A Lie group is also a [[manifold]], with points, $x$, corresponding to the parameters (in various patches).
Near the identity, $1=g(0)$, group elements may be described in terms of coordinates multiplying the [[Lie algebra]] generators, $T_A \in \mathfrak{g} = {\rm Lie}(G)$, associated with the group,
$$
g(x) \simeq 1 + x^A T_A
$$
The Lie algebra completely describes the local geometry of the group. And Lie algebra elements may be acted on by Lie group elements, in the [[adjoint representation]]. For a ''connected'' manifold and Lie group, all manifold points (and corresponding group elements) may be connected to the identity by smooth paths. [[Exponentiation|exponentiation]] of Lie algebra generators gives the ''universal cover'' of the corresponding connected Lie group,
$$
g(x) = e^{x^A T_A} \in G
$$
Points of a connected Lie group manifold may be described by the $x^A$ coordinates, with global group structure (manifold topology) determined by the ranges and matchings of $x^A$. A connected manifold, and Lie group, is ''simply connected'' if all paths are contractible. For example, a sphere is simply connected while a torus is not. The universal cover of a connected Lie group is simply connected.
The [[Lie group geometry]] is the Lie group manifold with geometry and symmetries corresponding to the action of the Lie algebra generators as vector fields. (Lie group geometry may alternatively be described as a [[Lie group bundle]], with the base manifold taken to be the Lie group manifold, the Lie group as typical fiber, and a special "identity" section, $g_I(x)$, defined.)
A [[Lie group]] is an $n$ dimensional group, $G$, with elements, $g$, that can be identified with points, $x$, on an $n$ dimensional manifold, $M$. Typically the group elements, $g(x) \in G$, are understood to be written as a function of parameters; however, it is possible to consider this identification as a bijective section, the ''identity section'', $g_I(x)$, of a [[fiber bundle]]. This bundle clearly has $M$ as base and $G$ as typical fiber. But what is the structure group and action? It is desirable to preserve the group structure of the Lie group fiber: if any three fiber/group elements satisfy $g_1 g_2 = g_3$ the corresponding elements, after transformation by an element of the structure group, should satisfy $g'_1 g'_2 = g'_3$. The structure group and action is thus identified as the [[automorphism]] group and action for $G$, and the ''Lie group bundle'' is defined as the [[automorphism bundle]] for an $n$ dimensional $G$ over an $n$ dimensional base, along with an identity section.
Since the Lie group bundle comes with a special identity section, $g_I(x)$, it has a particular automorphism bundle connection, the ''Lie group connection'', $\f{A}$, similar to the [[Maurer-Cartan connection]], such that the identity section is horizontal,
$$
0 = \f{\na} g_I = \f{d} g_I + \ha \f{A} g_I - \ha g_I \f{A}
$$
This Lie group connection can be calculated in a few steps. Presuming the matrix of connection coefficients has an [[inverse|matrix inverse]], $A_B{}^i$, this set of vectors is identified as the adjoint action vectors of the [[Lie group geometry]],
$$
\ve{A_B} = \ve{\xi^A_B} = \ha \ve{\xi^L_B} - \ha \ve{\xi^R_B}
$$
in which the left and right action vector field matrices may be calculated via the defining equations for their inverses, $\f{\xi_L^B} T_B = \lp \f{d} g_I \rp g_I^-$ and $\f{\xi_R^B} T_B = g_I^- \lp \f{d} g_I \rp$. The curvature of the Lie group connection vanishes. //(check that)// The identity section transforms under a gauge transformation to $g'_I = h g_I h^-$.
//Will outer automorphisms make things more complicated?//

[<img[images/png/torsor.png]]A [[Lie group]] has elements $g(x) \in G$ specified by the points, $x$ (corresponding to coordinates, $x^i$), of an $n$ dimensional [[manifold]]. This manifold naturally acquires a geometry corresponding to the structure of the Lie group.
The [[group action|group]] -- left, right, or adjoint -- of any group element, $h$, on all other elements of the group provides a set of [[autodiffeomorphism|diffeomorphism]]s, $ \left\{ \ph^L_h,\ph^R_h,\ph^A_h \right\} $, on the group manifold. However, only the adjoint action is a group [[automorphism]] as well as a manifold autodiffeomorphism. A group element, $h$, near the identity,
$$h \simeq 1 + t v^B T_B$$
is specified by a [[Lie algebra]] vector, $v=v^B T_B \in Lie \, G$, and a small parameter, $t$. These parameterized actions on the group correspond to [[flow]]s,
$$
e^{t \ve{\xi} \f{d}}
$$
on the group manifold, with each flow corresponding to a vector field generator, $\ve{\xi}$, over the manifold. For example, for the right action,
\begin{eqnarray}
R_h g &=& g h = g(\ph^R_h(x)) \\
&\simeq& g + t v^B g T_B = g + t v^B \lp \xi^R_B \rp^i \pa_i g(x)
\end{eqnarray}
So, for each group action, $\left\{ L, R, A \right\}$, and each Lie algebra generator, $T_B$, there is a corresponding vector field,
\begin{eqnarray}
T_B g &=& {\cal L}_{\ve{\xi^L}} g = \ve{\xi^L_B} \f{d} g = \lp \xi^L_B \rp^i \pa_i g(x) \\
g T_B &=& {\cal L}_{\ve{\xi^R}} g = \ve{\xi^R_B} \f{d} g = \lp \xi^R_B \rp^i \pa_i g(x) \\
\ha T_B g - \ha g T_B &=& {\cal L}_{\ve{\xi^A}} g = \ve{\xi^A_B} \f{d} g = \lp \xi^A_B \rp^i \pa_i g(x)
\end{eqnarray}
which acts via the [[Lie derivative]] and corresponds to a flow on the group manifold. The action of the Lie algebra generators and the flow by the corresponding right action vector field generators may be conceptually identified as the same, $T_B \sim \ve{\xi^R_B}$. When working with a specific group representation and coordinatization, the vector field component matrices, $\lp \xi_B \rp^i$, may be found explicitly by solving the above defining equations. Using the defining equations, the [[Lie bracket|Lie derivative]]s between vector field generators are:
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb \ve{\xi^R_B}, \ve{\xi^R_C} \rb_L &=& C_{BC}{}^D \ve{\xi^R_D} \\
\lb \ve{\xi^L_B}, \ve{\xi^L_C} \rb_L &=& - C_{BC}{}^D \ve{\xi^L_D} \\
\lb \ve{\xi^L_B}, \ve{\xi^R_C} \rb_L &=& 0
\end{eqnarray}
with the same structure constants as from the Lie algebra brackets. Also tiddler that
$$\ve{\xi^A_B} = \ha \ve{\xi^L_B} - \ha \ve{\xi^R_B}$$
allows the Lie brackets of adjoint action vector fields with the others to be easily determined. To make things more confusing, the ''left action vector fields'', $\ve{\xi^L_B}$, are ''[[right invariant]] vector fields'', while the ''right action vector fields'', $\ve{\xi^R_B}$, are ''[[left invariant]] vector fields'',
\begin{eqnarray}
R_{h*} \ve{\xi^L_B}(x) &=& \ve{\xi^L_B}(\Phi^R_h(x)) \\
L_{h*} \ve{\xi^R_B}(x) &=& \ve{\xi^R_B}(\Phi^L_h(x))
\end{eqnarray}
These vector fields have [[1-form]] duals, the ''right invariant 1-forms'', $\f{\xi_L^B}=\f{dx^i} \lp \xi^L_i \rp^B$, satisfying $\ve{\xi^L_A} \f{\xi_L^B} = \de_A^B$ and
$$
\f{\xi_L^B} T_B = \lp \f{d} g \rp g^-
$$
and the ''left invariant 1-forms'', $\f{\xi_R^B} = \f{dx^i} \lp \xi^R_i \rp^B$, satisfying $\ve{\xi^R_A} \f{\xi_R^B} = \de_A^B$ and
$$
\f{\xi_R^B} T_B = g^- \f{d} g = \f{\cal I}
$$
in which $\f{\cal I}$ is the [[Maurer-Cartan form]] over the Lie group manifold. (Note that the $L$ and $R$ are just labels that can move around, and not [[indices]] to be summed over.)
A [[geodesic]] in a Lie group is found by [[exponentiation]] of the flow from a point, resulting in a parameterized [[path]] with [[tangent vector]] $\vec{\xi}$ satisfying the geodesic equation, $0 = (\vec{\xi} \f{\na}) \vec{\xi}$, which for a Lie group is
$$
\pa_t \vec{\xi} = ad^*_{\vec{\xi}} \vec{\xi}
$$
in which the ''coadjoint operator'' is defined as
$$
<ad^*_{\vec{\xi}} \vec{u}, \vec{w}> = <\vec{u}, ad_{\vec{\xi}} \vec{w}> = <\vec{u}, [\vec{\xi},\vec{w}]>
$$
producing the local coordinate expression
$$
(ad^*_{\vec{\xi}} \vec{u})^A = u^E \xi^B C_{BC}{}^D g_{ED} g^{CA}
$$
The left invariant vector fields, along with their natural [[Lie algebra metric|Lie algebra]], provide a natural [[Lie group tangent bundle geometry]], including a frame, connection, and curvature. Note that on the ''Lie group geometry'', a manifold with a collection of special vector fields on it, all points are identical since the Lie brackets are the same between the vector fields at every point. In particular, there is no special ''identity point'' on the Lie group geometry -- a Lie group geometry is also called a //''torsor''//, //''G-torsor''//, or //''principal homogeneous space''//.
<<tiddler HideTags>>[>img[talks/CSUF09/images/group.png]]The $N$ generators, $\ve{T_A}$, are orthogonal vector fields on the $N$ dimensional Lie group manifold, $G$.
$$
\lb \ve{T_A} , \ve{T_B} \rb =
{\cal L}_{\ve{T_A}} \ve{T_B} = C_{AB}^{\p{AB}C} \ve{T_C}
$$
Following a generator around $G$ from any point, the resulting path is a circle.
[>img[talks/CSUF09/images/spiral.png]]Eigen-generators (root vectors) twist integrally around this circle.
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{T_3}} \ve{T_+} = i \al_{3+} \ve{T_+}
$$
[>img[talks/CSUF09/images/torus.png]]Following all the commuting generators in the Cartan subalgebra produces a $R$ dimensional ''maximal torus'' in the Lie group. The $R$ twist numbers of weight vectors around each orthogonal circle in the maximal torus are the coordinates of that weight.
Weight diagrams specify how generators are twisting around each other.
A [[metric]] for the [[tangent bundle]] over the [[Lie group]] manifold may be defined such that the [[left invariant]] vector fields of a [[Lie group geometry]] have the same scalar product as the [[Lie algebra]] generators using the [[Killing form]]:
$$
\lp \ve{\xi^R_B}, \ve{\xi^R_C} \rp = \lp T_B, T_C \rp = g_{BC} = C_{BD}{}^E C_{CE}{}^D
$$
The Lie algebra metric, $g_{BC}$, may be made diagonal (like the [[Minkowski metric]] and Kronecker delta) by transforming the generators by a constant matrix (as long as $G$ is semi-[[simple]]), found via the methods of [[spectral decomposition|eigen]]. In this way, the left invariant vector fields are identified as the set of [[orthonormal basis vector fields|frame]] on the Lie group manifold, $\ve{e_B} = \ve{\xi^R_B}$, and the left invariant 1-form coefficients,
\begin{eqnarray}
\lp e_i \rp^B &=& \lp \xi^R_i \rp^B = {\cal I}_i{}^B \\
\f{e^B} &=& \f{\xi_R^B} = \f{ {\cal I}^B }
\end{eqnarray}
are the coefficients of the frame 1-form and the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], $\f{\cal I} = g^- \f{d} g$. The resulting metric on the manifold is
$$
g_{ij} = \lp e_i \rp^B \lp e_j \rp^C g_{BC}
$$
The right invariant vector fields, $\ve{\xi_B} = \ve{\xi^L_B}$, are [[Killing vector]]s for this Lie group geometry, since
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{\xi_B}} \ve{e_C} = \lb \ve{\xi^L_B}, \ve{\xi^R_C} \rb_L = 0
$$
And, since
$$
{\cal L}_{\ve{e_B}} \ve{e_C} = \lb \ve{\xi^R_B}, \ve{\xi^R_C} \rb_L = C_{BC}{}^A \ve{e_A}
$$
the left invariant vector fields (the orthonormal basis vectors) are also Killing, by the [[Killing form]] identity, $\lp B_B \rp_C{}^A = C_{BC}{}^A = -C_B{}^A{}_C$.
The [[torsion]]less [[tangent bundle connection]], $\f{w}{}^A{}_B$, for the Lie group manifold may be found by solving [[Cartan's equation]],
$$
0 = \f{d} \f{e^C} + \f{w}^C{}_B \f{e^B}
$$
We can cheat a little by seeing that, since $\f{e^B}=\f{{\cal I}^B}$, this is the same as the Maurer-Cartan equation,
$$
0 = \f{d} \f{{\cal I}^C} + \ha \f{{\cal I}^A} \f{{\cal I}^B} C_{AB}{}^C
$$
giving the ''Lie group tangent bundle connection'',
$$
\f{w}^C{}_B = \ha \f{e^A} C_{AB}{}^C = - \ha \f{e^A} C_A{}^C{}_B
$$
with the indices of the structure constants raised and lowered by the diagonal matrices, $g^{AB}$ and $g_{AB}$, and using the Killing form identity. The connection coefficients directly relate to the structure constants, $w_{AC}{}^B = - \ha C_{AC}{}^B$. Alternatively, a connection with torsion could be defined if desired.
Using one of the [[Killing vector identities]], the covariant derivative of any of the right invariant vector fields or some combination, $\ve{\xi} = \xi^B \ve{\xi^L_B}$, along itself vanishes
$$
\ve{\xi} \f{\na} \ve{\xi} = \ve{\xi} \f{e^A} \ve{e_C} \lp \xi^B \lp B_B \rp_A{}^C - \xi^B w_{B A}{}^C \rp
= \fr{3}{2} \xi^A \xi^B \ve{e_C} C_{BA}{}^C
= 0
$$
This implies the integral curves of the [[flow]]s along any right invariant field are [[geodesic]]s. By another Killing vector identity, all the right invariant vector fields are constant length.
The [[Riemann curvature]] for the Lie group tangent bundle connection is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{R}^A{}_B &=& \f{d} \f{w}^A{}_B + \f{w}^A{}_C \f{w}^C{}_B \\
&=& - \ha \lp \f{d} \f{e^C} \rp C^A{}_B{}_C + \f{w}^A{}_C \f{w}^C{}_B \\
&=& \ha \lp \f{w}^C{}_D \f{e^D} \rp C^A{}_B{}_C + \f{w}^A{}_C \f{w}^C{}_B \\
&=& \fr{1}{4} \f{e^F} \f{e^D} \lp - C^C{}_{DF} C^A{}_{BC} + C^A{}_{CF} C^C{}_{BD} \rp \\
&=& - \fr{1}{4} \f{e^F} \f{e^D} C_{BCF} C_D{}^{AC}
\end{eqnarray}
using the Jacobi identity. The [[Ricci curvature]] is
$$
\f{R}{}_B = \ve{e_A} \ff{R}^A{}_B = - \fr{1}{4} \ve{e_A} \f{e^F} \f{e^D} C_{BCF} C_D{}^{AC}
= - \fr{1}{4} \f{e^D} C_{BCA} C_D{}^{AC} = - \fr{1}{4} \f{e^D} g_{BD} = - \fr{1}{4} \f{e}{}_B
$$
showing that a Lie group geometry is an [[Einstein space|Einstein's equation]]. The [[curvature scalar]] is $R = \ve{e^B} \f{R}{}_B = - \fr{1}{4} n$.
The [[volume form]] over the Lie group manifold is the ''Haar measure'',
$$
\f{e^1} \dots \f{e^n} = \nf{d^n x} \left| e \right|
$$
The complete list of real, [[simple]], compact, connected [[Lie group]]s was completed around 1890. They fall into four infinite families (the classical Lie groups) and five exceptional groups. Sorted by rank, $r$, they are:

A ''Lieform'' is a ''[[Lie algebra]] valued [[differential form]]'', having a single form grade, $p$. In terms of [[coordinate basis forms]] and Lie algebra generators, an arbitrary Lieform may be written as
$$
\nf{A} = \f{dx^i} \dots \f{dx^k} \fr{1}{p!} A_{i \dots k}{}^B T_B \in \nf{\mathfrak{g}}
$$
The basis forms and Lie algebra generators act in different algebras. By convention, the form basis elements will be collected on the left and the Lie algebra generators on the right. The most common type of Lie form is a ''Lie algebra valued 1-form'', $\f{A} = \f{dx^i} A_i{}^B T_B \in \f{\mathfrak{g}}$.
The most common operation between Lieforms is the graded [[commutator]], equivalent to the graded [[Lie algebra bracket|Lie algebra]],
$$
\lb \nf{A}, \nf{B} \rb = \nf{A^C} \nf{B^D} \lb T_C, T_D \rb = \nf{A^C} \nf{B^D} C_{CD}{}^E T_E = \nf{A} \nf{B} - \lp -1 \rp^{pq} \nf{B} \nf{A}
$$
which produces a grade $(pq)$ Lieform from the bracket of grade $p$ and $q$ Lieforms.

[[Loops '07|http://www.matmor.unam.mx/eventos/loops07/]] was held in Morelia, Mexico. My [[talk for Loops 07]] has links to my slides and the accompanying audio.
Here are some talks I went to, and some personal impressions (these are just brief tiddlers to myself, please don't take them too seriously)
*Monday
**[[Lucien Hardy|http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/index.phpindex.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=7&view_directory=1&pi=1078]]${}^*$, The causaloid formalism: a tentative framework for quantum gravity
***Compression of measurement data
***Obtain probabilistic distribution over temporal orderings of measurements maybe?
**[[Rafael Sorkin|http://www.phy.syr.edu/~sorkin/]], Quantum reality and anhomomorphic logic
***Wants to use a "quantum" version of probability by discarding preclusion or inference rules
****discarding logical "and" (multiplication) and/or discarding logical "or" (addition)
***Talked to him about complex probability distributions over paths.
**[[John F. Donoghue|http://www.fqxi.org/aw-donoghue.html]]${}^*$, Effective field theory and quantum general relativity
***He argued that the Effective Field Theory of gravity could be used to perturb around a Newtonian potential to get the classical (GR) corrections and the quantum GR correction proportional to $h$ -- in two different ways.
***Quantum GR will have to reproduce this.
**[[Rodolfo Gambini|http://www.fqxi.org/aw-pullin.html]]${}^*$, Relational physics with real rods and clocks, (A)
***Works with Jorge Pullin
***Err, it was hard to understand what he was saying, and his talk was kind of scattered.
**[[Johannes Tambornino|http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=72&pi=4735]], Taming observables in GR: A perturbative approach, (B)
***Tries to quantize symmetry reduced theory the right way.
**[[Frederic P. Schuller|http://www.nucleares.unam.mx/~f.p.schuller/]], Area metric gravity, (B)
***Reformulate everything in terms of $G_{[ab][cd]}$ "area metric."
**[[Merced Montesinos|http://www.fis.cinvestav.mx/~geogravi/gr_mphysics/Nuevos/faculty.html]], Cartan's equations define a topological field theory, (B)
***Main idea: include Riemann curvature and Torsion as independent degrees of freedom. Them put extra "topological" terms, like Euler characteristic and Pontryagin characteristic, in the action to ensure $\ff{R}$ and $\ff{T}$ satisfy Cartan equations.
***Possibly related paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0603076
**Marat Reyes, Generalized path dependent representations for gauge theories, (B)
****Rats, I missed this one.
**Yuya Sasai, Braided quantum field theories and their symmetries, (A)
***Err, very hard to tell what the heck he was doing since his English wasn't very good.
**[[Garrett Lisi|http://sifter.org/~aglisi/]]${}^*$, Deferential Geometry, (A)
*** :) My talk went very well.
***"This is very interesting." -- L.S. "It's not bullshit." -- S.H.
*Tuesday
**Thomas Thiemann, Elements of Loop Quantum Gravity
***Has a new book coming out in September -- should be good.
***Talk was packed full of good stuff.
***Start wit Palatini formulation, combine constraints into master $M$, convert variables to $su(2)$ holonomies and fluxes, build solutions using coherent states, minimize expectation value of master constraint, $M$, rather than making it strictly $0$.
**Abhay Ashtekar, LQG: Lessons from models
***Symmetry reduced models. Spherically symmetric black holes, 1+1.
**[[Carlo Rovelli]]${}^*$, Vertex amplitude and propagator in loop quantum gravity
***Work in $so(4)$. Barrett/Crane model has problem with off diagonal (vertex) terms -- B.C. doesn't give intertwiners in perturbation calc. so it's wrong. Need to use GFT to get better model.
**Jan Ambjorn, 4d quantum gravity as a sum over histories
***His talk went long and he got cut off.
***I'm kind of unimpressed with CDT -- it's an odd approximation that forces plausible numerical results.
**Dan Christensen, Computations involving spin networks, spin foams, quantum gravity and lattice gauge theory (B)
***Kind of odd: gets positive real values for QM amplitude of spinfoam areas.
**[[Wade Cherrington|http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.2629]], Numerical Spin Foam Computation of Pure Yang-Mills Theory (B)
***YM on a lattice, in an odd way. Holonomies. Expand amplitudes into group characters.
**Seth Major
***Kodama state, approximating flat spacetime, from exponentiating Chern-Simons action.

***Cool guy. 3+1 D Regge -> simplicial, areas and angles.
*Wednesday
**Moshe Rozali, Background Independence in String Theory
***No action for $g$ in string theory. Have to choose a metric and perturb around that.

***Path integral is not covariant when you define it in detail.
***Admissible embeddings are ones that preserve causal curves.
**Alejandro Perez, Regulator dependence in quantum gravity and non perturvative renormalizability: possible new perspectives
***missed it to talk to S.H.
**Martin Reuter, Asymptotically safe quantum gravity and cosmology
***Missed it. :( I came down with flu. But watched it online.
***Using truncated action, with running coupling constants $G(k)=g(k)/k^2$ and $\La(k)=k^2 \la(k)$, there is a Gaussian fixed point at $k \to 0$ and a non-Gaussian fixed point, $\big( g(\infty), \la(\infty) \big) \to {\rm const}$.
***Using more action terms, with many running parameters, the EH action appears to emerge as the unique fixed point at high energy. Just comes from fields and symmetries.
***Large cosmo constant at high energy can drive inflation, without inflaton.
***His recent [[paper|http://arxiv.org/abs/0708.1317]] on this just came out.
**No parallel sessions
**Quarantined myself because of flu.

**Daniele Oriti, Group field theory: spacetime from quantum discreteness to an emergent continuum
***G's live at vertices. Graphically beautiful slides -- equations and figures.
***My guess on what GFT is: start with many copies of a Lie gp, G. State is a collection of reps for each gp. When these states "match" these gps are linked, giving a spin network approximating a base manifold for a principal G-bundle.
****No, I talked with Thomas Thiemann and he said this isn't how it works. There is only a G for each dimension of the spacetime (e.g. four, or three for just space), $(D-1)=4?$

${}^*$ FQXi member -- might see the same talk in Iceland
(A,B) detiddlers which parallel session
During last two hours, questions were asked of the Plenary speakers, based on a book that had been passed around the audience. Carlo Rovelli moderated.
#You're at Loops '17, presenting your talk. Presuming your research program has been fully successful, describe your talk. What likelihood do you estimate for this happening? (This question was saved until the end, so speakers could prepare.)

The ''Lorentz algebra'', $spin(1,n\!-\!1)$, is the $\ha n (n\!-\!1)$-dimensional [[Lie algebra]] of the [[Lorentz group]], with $1$ time-like and $(n\!-\!1)$ space-like dimensions. It is a special case of the [[spin Lie algebra]] of mixed signature. It is also isomorphic to the Lie algebra, $so(1,n\!-\!1)$, of the generalized [[special orthogonal group]]. Lie algebra basis elements, $T_A$, may be represented by $\ha n (n-1)$ antisymmetric $n \times n$ matrices, $T_A \sim J_{ij}$, antisymmetric in the $ij$ labels, or alternatively by [[bivectors|Clifford basis elements]], $T_A \sim \ga_{\al \be}$, of the $Cl(1,n\!-\!1)$ [[Clifford algebra]]. The bivectors satisfy the [[Clifford basis identities]]:
$$
\lb \ga_{\al \be}, \ga_{\ga \de} \rb = 2 \left\{ - \et_{\al \ga} \ga_{\be \de} + \et_{\al \de} \ga_{\be \ga} + \et_{\be \ga} \ga_{\al \de} - \et_{\be \de} \ga_{\al \ga} \right\} = C_{\lb{\al \be}\rb \lb \ga \de \rb}{}^{\lb \ep \up \rb} \ga_{\ep \up}
$$
giving the structure constants,
$$
C_{\lb{\al \be}\rb \lb \ga \de \rb}{}^{\lb \ep \up \rb}
= 2 \left\{ - \et_{\al \ga} \de^{\lb\ep \up\rb}_{\be \de} + \et_{\al \de} \de^{\lb\ep \up\rb}_{\be \ga} + \et_{\be \ga} \de^{\lb\ep \up\rb}_{\al \de} - \et_{\be \de} \de^{\lb\ep \up\rb}_{\al \ga} \right\}
$$
with $\et_{\al \ga}$ the generalized [[Minkowski metric]]. The [[Killing form]] (diagonal in this basis) is
$$
g_{\lb \al \be \rb \lb \ga \de \rb} = C_{\lb \al \be \rb \lb \ep \up \rb}{}^{\lb \ze \et \rb} C_{\lb \ga \de \rb \lb \ze \et \rb}{}^{\lb \ep \up \rb}
= 8 \lp n-2 \rp \lp \et_{\al \de} \et_{\be \ga} - \et_{\al \ga} \et_{\be \de} \rp
$$
"Lorentz algebra" often refers more specifically to the [[spacetime]] case, [[spin(1,3)]].
A ''Lorentz boost'' is a [[Lorentz rotation]] of a [[spacetime]] vector or [[Dirac spinor]] along a spatial ''boost vector'', $v = \ga_\pi v^\pi$, and corresponds to a [[Clifford rotation]] by the [[Cl(1,3) bivector]], $B$, corresponding (but not equal to) to the time-$v$ plane, $\ga_0 v$. Specifically, $B = \ga_0 n \ze$, in which the ''rapidity'', $\ze$, is defined via
$$
\be = \fr{\left| v \right|}{c} = \tanh{\ze}
$$
in which $c$ is the speed of light, and the ''boost direction'' is defined as $n = \fr{v}{\left| v \right|}$, so $v = n \, c \tanh{\ze}$. The ''boost rotor'' is then
$$
U_\nu = e^{\ha B} = e^{- \ha \ga_0 n \ze} = \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} - \ga_0 n \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}}
$$
(It is also sometimes useful to define the ''rapidity vector'', $\nu = n \, \ze = \fr{v}{|v|} \tanh^- \fr{|v|}{c}$, so $B = \ga_0 \nu$.)
Any [[spacetime]] Clifford vector, $u$, decomposes into its temporal and spatial parts, and its spatial part splits into parts parallel and perpendicular to the boost direction,
$$
u = u^\mu \ga_\mu = u^0 \ga_0 + u^\pi \ga_\pi
= u_t + u_s = u_t + u_\parallel + u_\perp
$$
with $u_\parallel = n u^n$ and $u_\perp = u_s - u_\parallel$, in which $u^n = n \cdot u$ is the magnitude of $u$ along the boost direction. Working through some hyperbolic trig and Clifford algebra, we see that the ''Lorentz boosted vector'' is
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
u' \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! u^\mu \ga'_\mu = u^\mu L^\nu{}_\mu \ga_\nu = U_v \, u \, U_v^- \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \lp \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} - \ga_0 n \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \rp \lp u_t + u_\parallel + u_\perp \rp \lp \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} + \ga_0 n \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \rp \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! u_\perp + \ga_0 \lp u^0 \cosh{\ze} + u^n \sinh{\ze} \rp + n \lp u^n \cosh{\ze} + u^0 \sinh{\ze} \rp
\end{array}
$$
which is more familiar after identifying the [[Lorentz factor|Lorentz rotated coordinates]], $\cosh{\ze} = \ga = 1 / \sqrt{1-\be^2}$, and $\sinh{\ze} = \ga \be$.
A ''Lorentz boosted Dirac spinor'', using the Weyl rep of the [[Dirac matrices]] and the corresponding [[Cl(1,3) bivector]]s, is
$$
\ps' = U_v \, \ps =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
\cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} - n^\pi \si_\pi \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}} & 0 \\
0 & \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} + n^\pi \si_\pi \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}}
\end{array} \rb
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_L \\
\ps_R
\end {array} \rb
$$
in which the ''left and right chiral boost rotor''s are $U^{L/R}_\nu = \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \mp n^\pi \si_\pi \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}}$. These are not [[unitary]], but are [[Hermitian]] and inverses, $U^{L/R}_\nu U^{R/L}_\nu = 1$.
The ''special orthochronous Lorentz group'', $\mbox{SO}{}^+(1,n-1)$, is a [[Lie group]] composed of [[Lorentz rotation]]s in $n$ dimensions, including one of time. The ''Lorentz group'', $\mbox{O}(1,n-1)$, has four disconnected components — two are special ($\mbox{S}$), linked by [[parity conjugation|parity conjugate]], and two are orthochronous (${}^+$), linked by [[time conjugation|time conjugate]]. The special orthochronous Lorentz group is the connected subgroup component containing the identity. The Lorentz group thus has ''components'',
$$
\mbox{O}(1,n-1) = \mbox{SO}(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1,P \} = \mbox{O}^+(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1, PT \} = \mbox{SO}{}^+(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1,P,T,PT \}
$$
which has double covers,
$$
\mbox{Pin}(1,n-1) = \mbox{Spin}(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1,P \} = \mbox{Pin}{}^+(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1, PT \} = \mbox{Spin}{}^+(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1,P,T,PT \}
$$
related to [[Clifford rotation]]s. The double cover of the special orthochronous Lorentz group, $\mbox{SO}{}^+(1,n-1)$, is the orthochronous [[spin group]], $\mbox{Spin}{}^+(1,n-1)$ (with $\mbox{Spin}{}^+(1,3) = SL(2,\mathbb{C})$), the double cover of the ''special Lorentz group'', $\mbox{SO}(1,n-1) = \mbox{SO}{}^+(1,n-1) \rtimes \{1,PT \}$ (or ''orientation preserving Lorentz group''), a generalized [[special orthogonal group]], is the generalized [[spin group]], $\mbox{Spin}(1,n-1)$, and the double cover of the Lorentz group, $\mbox{O}(1,n-1)$, is the [[pin group]], $\mbox{Pin}(1,n-1)$. Note that, despite the isomorphism of $\mbox{Spin}(1,3)$ to $\mbox{Spin}(3,1)$, and that they are subgroups of $\mbox{Pin}(1,3)$ and $\mbox{Pin}(3,1)$, the group $\mbox{Pin}(1,3)$ is not isomorphic to $\mbox{Pin}(3,1)$. For $\mbox{Pin}(1,3)$ we have $P^2=1$ and $T^2=1$, while for $\mbox{Pin}(3,1)$ we have $P^2=-1$ and $T^2=-1$. This description of the Lorentz group is general as to dimension, but "Lorentz group" is often used to refer specifically to the ''spacetime Lorentz group'', or [[spacetime spin group]], with $n=4$. The [[Lie algebra]] of the Lorentz group is the [[Lorentz algebra]], and the Lie algebra of the spacetime Lorentz group is [[spin(1,3)]].
The Wikipedia article is quite thorough:

The measure in Quantum Field Theory expressions comes from integrating the "on shell" delta function of [[momentum]] over positive energies,
$$
\ba{rcl}
\int d^4 p \, \de((p^0)^2 - p_s^2 - m^2) \, \th(p^0) &=& \int d^4 p \, \de((p^0)^2 - E_p^2) \, \th(p^0) \\
&=& \int d^4 p \, \fr{\lp \de(p^0 + E_p) + \de(p^0 - E_p) \rp}{2 E_p} \, \th(p^0) \\
&=& \int \fr{d^3 p}{2 E_p} \\
\ea
$$
A ''Lorentz coordinate transformation'' is a [[coordinate change]], $x^i \to x'^i(x)$, in a [[rest frame]], to a different set of coordinates corresponding to a [[reference frame|rest frame]] that is rotated and moving at velocity $\ve{v}$ with respect to the first. This transformation corresponds to a [[Lorentz rotation]] of the coordinate frame, $x'^i = L_j{}^i x^j$, and preserves ''spacetime interval''s,
$$
{x'^0}^2 - {x'^1}^2 - {x'^2}^2 - {x'^3}^2 = {x^0}^2 - {x^1}^2 - {x^2}^2 - {x^3}^2
$$
If we assume no spatial rotation, and a ''boost'' to velocity $\ve{v} = v \ve{\pa_3}$, the corresponding Lorentz coordinate transformation is
\begin{eqnarray}
x'^0 &=& \ga \, (x^0 - \be x^3) \\
x'^1 &=& x^1 \\
x'^2 &=& x^2 \\
x'^3 &=& \ga \, (x^3 - \be x^0)
\end{eqnarray}
in which the ''Lorentz factor'' is $\ga = 1 / \sqrt{1-\be^2} > 1$ and $\be = \fr{v}{c}$ is the ratio of the boost magnitude to the speed of light. In a rest frame, these transformed coordinates are [[Lorentz boost]]ed vectors from the origin. Physically, if an observer in a [[rest frame]] with coordinates $x^i$ is observing a ticking clock in the moving frame with coordinates $x'^i$, the observer will see the clock ticks happening more slowly by a factor of $\ga$ (''time dilation'') and the length of the clock along the direction of motion contracted by a factor of $\ga$ (''length contraction''). From the perspective of an observer in the moving frame, the rest frame is the moving frame and they will similarly observe dilation and contraction of events in that frame.
A rotation is a smoothly operating linear transformation acting on vectors that leaves the scalar product between vectors invariant. ("Vectors" in this case may stand for [[tangent vector]]s, [[1-form]]s, [[Clifford vectors|Clifford element]], or any other appropriately [[indexed|indices]] object.) For example, two vectors with components $u^\al$ and $v^\al$ may have the scalar product, $u^\al \et_{\al \be} v^\be$. A linear transformation of vector components by a ''Lorentz matrix'' maps the vector components to
\begin{eqnarray}
{u'}^\al &=& L^\al {}_\be u^\be\\
{v'}^\al &=& L^\al {}_\be v^\be
\end{eqnarray}
which must preserve the scalar product,
\[ u^\al \et_{\al \be} v^\be = {u'}^\al \et_{\al \be} {v'}^\be = L^\al{}_\be u^\be \et_{\al \ga} L^\ga{}_\de v^\de \]
So the Lorentz matrix must be ''orthogonal'',
\[ L^\al{}_\be \et_{\al \ga} L^\ga{}_\de = \et_{\be \de} \]
or, with the [[Minkowski metric]] raising and lowering indices, $L_{\ga \be} L^{\ga \de} = \de_\be^\de$ or $L^T L = I$. A transformation satisfying this restriction is a [[Lorentz transformation]]. But such a transformation could also include reflections, and would then not be "smoothly operating" (not connected to the identity). To exclude this possibility, $L$ is restricted to have positive determinant, $|L|=1$, in which case it is called "special" or "proper", and $L$ is also restricted to preserver the direction of time (no reflection of the $0$ components), in which case it is called "orthochronous". A special orthochronous Lorentz transformation is called a ''Lorentz rotation''. It is "smoothly operating" or "connected to the identity" in that it may be built up by many small rotations,
\[ L = \lim_{N \to \infty} \lp I + \fr{1}{N} l \rp^N \]
in which $l$ is an antisymmetric matrix, $l_{\al \be} = l_{\lb \al \be \rb}$. A Lorentz transformation built this way is special and orthochronous.
The group of Lorentz rotations forms the [[special orthochronous Lorentz group|Lorentz group]].
Although this matrix representation is more standard, Lorentz rotations are usually better described and carried out as [[Clifford rotation]]s, by which [[Lorentz boost]]s and [[spatial rotation]]s can be described more easily.
If we start with a field, $\ph(x)$, in a [[rest frame]], we can imagine actively rotating that field -- so the new field is the same field-shape as the old field, but rotated in space,
$$
\ph'(x) = \ph(L^- x)
$$
in which $L^-$ is the inverse of a [[Lorentz rotation]] of the rest frame coordinates, $x^\mu$.
Rotating a [[1-form]] field, such as the [[electromagnetic field]], the ''Lorentz transformation'' of the field is
$$
\f{A}'(x) = \f{dx}^\mu L_\mu{}^\nu A_\nu (L^- x)
$$
This is an auto[[diffeomorphism]] in flat spacetime, and not a [[coordinate change]]. Rather, the new field is in a rotated direction, and is the same shape as the old field but a function of [[Lorentz rotated coordinates]], $x'^\mu = L_\nu{}^\mu x^\nu$. If this transformation is in curved spacetime, we imagine this is happening locally near an origin point on a [[manifold]] coordinate patch. If the field corresponds to a quantum field operator in an [[infinite-dimensional unitary representation]], that quantum field transforms as
$$
\hat{A}_\mu(x) \mapsto \hat{A'_\mu}(x) = \hat{U}(L) \hat{A_\mu}(x) \hat{U}(L)^- = L_\mu{}^\nu \hat{A_\nu} (L^- x)
$$
For an infinitesimal [[Lorentz rotation]], $L_\mu{}^\nu = \de_\mu{}^\nu + \ep l_\mu{}^\nu$, with $l_{\mu\nu} = l_{[\mu\nu]}$ antisymmetric, after using the [[Minkowski metric]] to lower indices, $l_{\mu\nu} = l_\mu{}^\rh \et_{\rh\nu}$. The infinitesimal quantum field transformation is thus
$$
\lb \hat{J}\!(l) , \hat{A_\mu} \rb = l_\mu{}^\nu \hat{A_\nu}(x) - x^\nu l_\nu{}^\rh \pa_\rh \hat{A_\mu}(x)
$$
in which $\hat{J}$ is an element of the six-dimensional [[spin(1,3)]] [[Lorentz algebra]].
If we consider a Cliffordized [[electromagnetic field]], $A = \ve{e} \f{A}$, the Lorentz transformation of the [[quantum electromagnetic field]] and Cliffordized electromagnetic field is
$$
\hat{A}(x) \mapsto \hat{A}'(x) = \hat{U}(L) \hat{A}(x) \hat{U}(L)^- = U(L) \hat{A}(L^- x) U^-(L)
$$
with $U(L) = e^{\ha B}$ the [[rotor|Clifford rotation]] corresponding to the Lorentz transformation. For an infinitesimal transformation this becomes
$$
\lb \hat{J}(l) , \hat{A} \rb = B(l) \times \hat{A} - x^\nu l_\nu{}^\rh \pa_\rh \hat{A}(x)
$$
The Lorentz Lie algebra elements break into two parts, $\hat{J}\!(l) = \hat{S}(l) + \hat{L}(l)$, corresponding to the ''spin angular momentum operator'' and ''orbital angular momentum operator''. The basis elements of these operators satisfy
$$
\lb \hat{S}^{\mu \nu} , \hat{A} \rb = \ga^{\mu \nu} \times \hat{A} \s\;\;\; \lb \hat{L}^{\nu \rh} , \hat{A} \rb = - x^{[\nu} \pa^{\rh]} \hat{A}
$$
If we rotate a [[Dirac spinor]] field, the Lorentz transformation of the [[quantum Dirac spinor]] and Dirac spinor is
$$
\ud{\hat{\Ps}}(x) \mapsto \ud{\hat{\Ps}}'(x) = \hat{U}(L) \ud{\hat{\Ps}}(x) \hat{U}(L)^- = U(L) \ud{\hat{\Ps}} (L^- x)
$$
For an infinitesimal transformation this becomes
$$
\lb \hat{J}(l) , \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \rb = \ha B(l) \ud{\hat{\Ps}} - x^\nu l_\nu{}^\rh \pa_\rh \ud{\hat{\Ps}}(x)
$$
and the spin angular momentum operator and orbital angular momentum operator satisfy
$$
\lb \hat{S}^{\mu \nu} , \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \rb = \ha \ga^{\mu \nu} \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \s\;\;\; \lb \hat{L}^{\nu \rh} , \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \rb = - x^{[\nu} \pa^{\rh]} \ud{\hat{\Ps}}
$$
leading us to define the [[spin operator]] on a Dirac spinor or [[Weyl spinor]].
Lorentz transformations, described by $L_\mu{}^\nu$, are elements of a [[representation]] of the [[Lorentz group]], $O(1,3)$ -- a generalized [[orthogonal group|special orthogonal group]], with $L_\mu{}^\nu L_\mu{}^\nu = \et_f$. These are equivalent to [[Clifford rotation]]s, $\ga'_\al = \ga_\be L^\be{}_\al = U \ga_\al U^-$. But the allowed [[Clifford group]] transformations also include elements of the [[pin group|spacetime spin group]], $U \in Pin(1,3)$, the double cover of the [[Lorentz group]], which includes elements of the proper orthochronous spin group as well as [[CPT symmetry]].

The left-chiral [[Majorana equation|Majorana spinor]] is
$$
0 = \lp i \pa_0 - i \si_\va \pa_\va \rp \ps_L + m \ep \ps^{*}_L
$$
We make an ansatz that solutions have the form
$$
\ps_L = \ch_1 e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu} + \ch_2 e^{+ i p_\mu x^\mu}
$$
with $p$ the [[momentum]]. This reduces the left-chiral Majorana equation to
\begin{eqnarray}
0 &=& + \lp E + p^\va \si_\va \rp \ch_1 + m \ep \ch_2^* \\
0 &=& - \lp E + p^\va \si_\va \rp \ch_2 + m \ep \ch_1^*
\end{eqnarray}
These are both solved if
$$
\ch_2 = \fr{1}{m} \lp E - p^\va \si_\va \rp \ep \ch_1^*
$$
with two basis solutions allowed,
$$
\ch_1 = \ch^\wedge = \lb \begin{array}{c}
1 \\
0
\end {array} \rb
\s \text{or} \s
\ch_1 = \ch^\vee = \lb \begin{array}{c}
0 \\
1
\end {array} \rb
$$
giving two basis solutions to the left-Chiral Majorana equation,
$$
\ps_L^{\wedge/\vee} = w_L^{\wedge/\vee} = \ch^{\wedge/\vee} e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu} + \fr{1}{m} \lp E - p^\va \si_\va \rp \xi^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+ i p_\mu x^\mu}
$$
in which $\xi^{\wedge/\vee} = \ep \ch^{\wedge/\vee}$ are the basis [[flipped spin]]ors. Similarly, the right-chiral Majorana equation is
$$
0 = \lp i \pa_0 + i \si_\va \pa_\va \rp \ps_R - m \ep \ps^{*}_R
$$
and has two basis solutions,
$$
\ps_R^{\wedge/\vee} = w_R^{\wedge/\vee} = \ch^{\wedge/\vee} e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu} - \fr{1}{m} \lp E + p^\va \si_\va \rp \xi^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+ i p_\mu x^\mu}
$$
These ''Majorana equation solutions'', $w_L^{\wedge/\vee}$ and $w_R^{\wedge/\vee}$, match [[Dirac solutions]] via the definition of a [[Majorana spinor]]. Specifically,
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ps_M^{\wedge/\vee} &=&
\lb \begin{array}{c}
w_L^{\wedge/\vee} \\
-\ep w_L^{\wedge/\vee*}
\end {array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ch^{\wedge/\vee} \\
\fr{1}{m} (E+p^\ep \si_\ep) \ch^{\wedge/\vee}
\end {array} \rb
e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu}
+
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\fr{1}{m} (E-p^\ep \si_\ep) \xi^{\wedge/\vee} \\
-\xi^{\wedge/\vee} \\
\end {array} \rb
e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu} \\
& = &
\fr{1}{m^2} u'{}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu} + \fr{1}{m^2} v'{}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu}
\end{eqnarray}
and similarly if we use the $w_R^{\wedge/\vee}$ solution.
A [[Dirac spinor]] has a $U(1)$ symmetry manifesting as multiplication by a complex phase, $e^{i \ph}$, usually corresponding to the electromagnetic interaction. If we wish to consider an uncharged fermion, this must be described by half of a Dirac spinor. Such an uncharged spinor is called a ''Majorana spinor'', $\Ps^M$, and is equal to its [[charge conjugate]], $(\Ps^M)^C = \Ps^M$ -- the ''Majorana condition''. If we work with the Weyl representation of the [[Dirac matrices]] and allow the left-chiral part of the Dirac spinor to vary freely, then the right-chiral part is restricted by the Majorana condition, $ i \ga_2 (\Ps^M)^* = \Ps^M$, or vice versa, so that a Majorana spinor can be written as
$$
\Ps^M =
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps^M_L \\
( \ps^{M}_L )^C
\end {array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps^M_L \\
- \ep \ps^{M*}_L
\end {array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
( \ps^{M}_R )^C \\
\ps^M_R
\end {array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ep \ps^{M*}_R \\
\ps^M_R
\end {array} \rb
$$
in which $\ep$ is the [[skew]]. The kinetic part of the flat spacetime [[Dirac Lagrangian]], inputing this Majorana spinor, is
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_K &=& \bar{\Ps}^M i \ga^\mu \pa_\mu \Ps^M \\
&=& i \ps^{M\da}_L \si^\mu \pa_\mu \ps^M_L + i (\ep \ps^{M*}_L)^\da \bar{\si}^\mu \pa_\mu (\ep \ps^{M*}_L) \\
&=& 2 i \ps^{M\da}_L \si^\mu \pa_\mu \ps^M_L = 2 i \ps^{M\da}_R \bar{\si}^\mu \pa_\mu \ps^M_R
\end{eqnarray}
after using [[Pauli matrix|Pauli matrices]] magic and taking only the real part. A lone Majorana spinor cannot have a charge but it can have a mass. The mass term in the Dirac Lagrangian, with this Majorana spinor determined by its left or right chiral part, is
$$
{\cal L}_m = - m \bar{\Psi}^M \Psi^M = - m \lp \ps^{MT}_L \ep \ps^M_L - \ps^{M \da}_L \ep \ps^{M*}_L \rp =
m \lp \ps^{MT}_R \ep \ps^M_R - \ps^{M \da}_R \ep \ps^{M*}_R \rp
$$
using the [[transpose]], and in which the second terms are the Hermitian conjugates of the first, so the Lagrangian is real. Since a Lagrangian, including mass, can be written in terms of exclusively the left or the right chiral parts of a Majorana spinor, we can refer disingenuously to these Majorana components as left-chiral or right-chiral Majorana fields and treat them as [[Weyl spinor]]s satisfying a ''Majorana equation'',
$$
0 = i \si^\mu \pa_\mu \ps_L + m_L \ep \ps^{*}_L
\s \s
0 = i \bar{\si}^\mu \pa_\mu \ps_R - m_R \ep \ps^{*}_R
$$
If we have two Weyl spinors, $\ps_L$ and $\ps_R$, we can build a Dirac spinor and have the usual kinetic and Dirac mass terms,
$$
{\cal L}_m = - m \lp \ps_R^\da \ps_L + \ps_L^\da \ps_R \rp
$$
If we treat $\ps_L$ and $\ps_R$ as components of independent Majorana spinors, then they can have independent Majorana masses, $m_L$ and $m_R$, as well as a shared Dirac mass, $m$.
$$
{\cal L}_{m_L} = m_L \lp \ps_L^\da \ep \ps_L^* - \ps_L^{\da*} \ep \ps_L \rp
\s \s
{\cal L}_{m_R} = - m_R \lp \ps_R^\da \ep \ps_R^* - \ps_R^{\da*} \ep \ps_R \rp
$$
(Note that Majorana mass terms violate $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, since $\ps_L \to e^{i \ph} \ps_L$ implies $\ps_L^\da \ep \ps_L^* \to e^{-2 i \ph} \ps_L^\da \ep \ps_L^*$.) These Lagrangian mass terms can be combined as
$$
{\cal L}_M = -
\lb
\begin{array}{c}
\ps_L \\
(\ps_R)^C
\end{array}
\rb ^ \da
\lb
\begin{array}{cc}
m_L & m \\
m & m_R
\end{array}
\rb
\lb
\begin{array}{c}
(\ps_L)^C \\
\ps_R \\
\end{array}
\rb
+ \textrm{h.c.}
$$
in which "h.c." is the harmonic conjugate. The eigenvalues of this mass matrix are
$$
M_\pm = \ha \lp (m_L + m_R) \pm \sqrt{4 m^2 + (m_L - m_R)^2} \rp \simeq m_{L/R} \pm \fr{m^2}{\left| m_L-m_R \right|}
$$
in which the approximation is for small $m$. If $m_L$ is zero and $m_R$ is large and $m$ is small, then this gives the celebrated ''seesaw mechanism'', with the two resulting fermions (mostly $\ps_R$ and mostly $\ps_L$) having masses $m_R$ and $\fr{m^2}{m^R}$.

The Maurer-Cartan connection is like the [[Lie group bundle]] connection, but for a [[principal bundle]]. The relevant ''principal Lie group bundle'' is a fiber bundle with $n$ dimensional base manifold, $M$, and $n$ dimensional Lie group, $G$, as typical fiber and structure group acting on the fiber from the right -- it is a principal bundle. The structure group action (and maybe the structure group) differs from that of a Lie group bundle. Like for a Lie group bundle, a bijective identity section, $g_I(x)$, maps base manifold points to group/fiber elements. The ''Maurer-Cartan connection'', $\f{M}$, is the connection such that the covariant derivative of the identity section is horizontal,
$$
0 = \f{\na} g_I = \f{d} g_I - g_I \f{M}
$$
which gives
$$
\f{M} = g_I^- \f{d} g_I
$$
The [[exterior derivative]] of an inverse element comes from
$$
0 = \f{d} \lp g g^- \rp = g \f{d} g^- + \lp \f{d} g \rp g^-
$$
and is $\f{d} g^- = - g^- \lp \f{d} g \rp g^-$. So the Maurer-Cartan connection satisfies the ''Maurer-Cartan equation'',
$$
\f{d} \f{M} = \f{d} \lp g_I^- \lp \f{d} g_I \rp \rp = \lp \f{d} g_I^- \rp \lp \f{d} g_I \rp = - \f{M} \f{M} = -\f{M} \times \f{M}
$$
and the related principal bundle curvature vanishes,
$$
\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{M} + \f{M} \f{M} = 0
$$
Interestingly, the Maurer-Cartan connection may also be related to the vielbein arising from [[Lie group geometry]],
$$
\f{M} = \f{\xi_R^B} T_B = g_I^- \f{d} g_I = \f{e^B} T_B
$$
In this way, the Maurer-Cartan connection is a frame as well as a connection for a Lie group.
To reiterate: The Maurer-Cartan connection is a connection for a $2n$ dimensional principal bundle. This is just something new to try playing with. It's not the [[Maurer-Cartan form]], which is a 1-form over the $n$ dimensional Lie group manifold.
The ''Maurer-Cartan form'' (//''M-C form''//) is a [[Lieform]] field, $\f{\cal I}(x) = \f{dx^i} {\cal I}_i{}^A T_A$, defined over a [[Lie group]] manifold, corresponding to the local geometry of the Lie group action. Every two Lie group elements, $g',g \in G$, can be related by the right action of another Lie group element,
$$
g' = g \, \th(g,g')
$$
If the two elements are near each other they are related by a [[tangent vector]], $\ve{v}$, on the Lie group manifold,
$$
g' \simeq g + t \ve{v} \f{d} g
$$
and by the corresponding
$$
\th(g,g') \simeq 1 + t \, \Th(g,v) = 1 + t \ve{v} \, \f{\cal I}(g)
$$
in which, after plugging these two into the first equation, the ''Maurer-Cartan form'' is
$$
\f{\cal I} = g^- \f{d} g
$$
a [[Lie algebra]] valued [[1-form]] over the Lie group manifold.
More precisely, the Maurer-Cartan form arises in [[Lie group geometry]] from the equation for the right action vector field,
$$
\ve{\xi_A^R} \f{d} g = g T_A
$$
The inverse matrix of this vector field's components gives the components of the Maurer-Cartan form, ${\cal I}_i{}^A = \lp \xi^R_i \rp^A$, which are the same as the components of the natural Lie group geometry vielbein. However, unlike the vielbein, which is a set of 1-forms, the Maurer-Cartan form is Lie algebra valued. The components of the Maurer-Cartan form may be found from its defining equation, or equivalently by solving for the right action vector fields and inverting. With a nondegenerate [[Killing form]], the calculation of the components is usually done via
$$
\lp \xi^R_i \rp^A = \lp \et^{AB} T_B, g^- \pa_i g(x) \rp
$$
The M-C form is a sort of identity map from vectors on the Lie group manifold to Lie algebra elements, $\f{\cal I} = \f{{\cal I}^A} T_A = \f{\xi_R^A} T_A$ -- specifically, it maps right acting vector fields at a point to their corresponding Lie algebra element, $\ve{\xi^R_A} \f{\cal I} = T_A$. The M-C form provides an explicit isomorphism from vector valued fields to Lie algebra valued fields, $\ve{v} \f{\cal I} = v \in {\mathfrak{g}}$, and thus acts as the anchor of a [[Lie algebroid]]. If the equivalence between Lie algebra elements and their corresponding right acting vector fields is taken seriously, then the resulting ''Ehresmann-Maurer-Cartan [[vector valued form]]'' (//''E-M-C VVF''//), $\f{\ve{\cal I}}$, is nothing but the [[identity projection|vector projection]] on the Lie group manifold:
$$
\f{\ve{\cal I}} = \f{\xi_R^A} \ve{\xi^R_A} = \f{dx^i} \ve{\pa_i}
$$
Looking at it in a weird way, the E-M-C VVF is the [[Ehresmann connection]] for a fiber bundle with the Lie group manifold as fiber and a single point as the base.
There is a manifold [[diffeomorphism]], $x \mapsto y = y_h(x)$, corresponding to any choice of right acting group element, $h \in G$, according to $g(y_h(x)) = R_h g(x) = g(x) h$. The [[pullback]] of the M-C form under this diffeomorphism is
$$
R_h^* \f{\cal I} = \f{dx^i} \fr{\pa y_h^j}{\pa x^i} {\cal I}_j{}^A(y_h(x)) T_A = \f{dx^i} h^- g^-(x) \pa_i g(x) h = h^- \f{\cal I}(x) h
$$
which is often taken as a defining property of the M-C form. Similarly, the pullbacks of the M-C form under the left and adjoint actions are $L_h^* \f{\cal I} = h \f{\cal I} h^-$ and $A_h^* \f{\cal I} = h \f{\cal I} h^-$. Note that this relates to the fact that, as the identity projection, the E-M-C VVF is invariant under any diffeomorphism, $\phi^* \f{\ve{\cal I}} = \f{\ve{\cal I}}$.
A formula for the exterior derivative of an inverse element, $\f{d} g^- = - g^- \lp \f{d} g \rp g^-$, comes from
$$
0 = \f{d} \lp g g^- \rp = g \f{d} g^- + \lp \f{d} g \rp g^-
$$
So the exterior derivative of the Maurer-Cartan form is
$$
\f{d} \f{\cal I} = \f{d} \lp g_I^- \lp \f{d} g_I \rp \rp = \lp \f{d} g_I^- \rp \lp \f{d} g_I \rp = - \f{\cal I} \f{\cal I} = -\f{\cal I} \times \f{\cal I} = - \ha \lb \f{\cal I} , \f{\cal I} \rb
$$
This gives the ''Maurer-Cartan equation'',
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
0 &=& \f{d} \f{\cal I} + \ha \lb \f{\cal I}, \f{\cal I} \rb = \ff{\cal F} \\
0 &=& \f{d} \f{{\cal I}^C} + \ha \f{{\cal I}^A} \f{{\cal I}^B} C_{AB}{}^C
\end{eqnarray}
$$
which gives vanishing [[curvature]] for the M-C form. Of course, the [[FuN curvature]] of the E-M-C VVF (which is the identity projection) also vanishes, $\ff{\ve{\cal F}} = - \ha \lb \f{\ve{\cal I}}, \f{\ve{\cal I}} \rb_L = 0$.

[[Maxwell's equations]], $\f{J} = \ve{\de} \f{d} \f{A}$, for the $U(1)$ [[connection]], $\f{A}$, (the [[electromagnetic field]]) in a [[rest frame]] with no current reduce to
$$
0 = d \times (d \times A) = (d \cdot d) \, A - d \, (d \cdot A)
$$
in which the connection 1-form was replaced by its associated [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Clifford vector]] field, $A = \ve{e}\f{A} = \ga^\mu A_\mu$, and the [[codifferential]] and [[exterior derivative]] were replaced by $d=\ga^\mu \pa_\mu$ and [[Clifford algebra]] multiplication. This equation has positive and negative energy ''plane wave solutions'',
$$
A = \ep' e^{\mp i p_\mu x^\mu} = \ep' e^{\mp i (E t - p^\va x^\va)}
$$
(with it understood that we take the real part of this complex expression), in which $p$ is the [[momentum]] and $\ep' = \ep'{}^\mu \ga_\mu $ is the constant ''[[polarization]] vector''. (Note that we are assuming we are in a flat spacetime [[rest frame]].) With this ansatz, Maxwell's equations reduce to
$$
0 = - (p \cdot p) \, \ep' + p \, (p \cdot \ep')
$$
in which the momentum vector is $p = \ga^\mu p_\mu = \ga^0 E - \ga^\va p^\va$. This is solved if
$$
0 = p \cdot p = E^2 - p_s \cdot p_s \s \text{and} \s 0 = (p \cdot \ep') = E \, \ep'{}^0 - p_s \cdot \ep_s
$$
in which $p_s = p^\va \si_\va$ and $\ep_s = \ep'{}^\va \si_\va = \ep{}^\va \si_\va$ are vectors in the spatial Clifford algebra, [[Cl(3)]], and we use the [[Pauli matrices]] for our Clifford representation. If we restrict to [[Weyl gauge|Maxwell solutions]], $A_0 = \ph = 0$, this implies $\ep'{}^0=0$, and the polarization must be spatial and orthogonal to the wave momentum. We can span this space of solutions by choosing two spatial orthonormal [[polarization]] basis vectors, $\ep_1$ and $\ep_2$, perpendicular to $p_s$. These are then combined into right and left handed complex circular polarization basis vectors, $\ep_\pm = \ep_1 \pm i \ep_2$. Using these, a basis of positive-energy electromagnetic plane wave solutions is $A_\pm = \ep'_\pm e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu}$, with $E = \sqrt{p_s p_s}$. The corresponding electric and magnetic fields, as spatial Clifford vector and bivector fields, from
$$
E \ga^0 + B = F = d \times A = \ga^0 \pa_t a_s + d_s \times a_s
$$
are
\begin{eqnarray}
E_\pm &=& - \pa_t a = i E \, \ep_\pm e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu} \sim \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} E \, ( \ep_1 \sin{px} \mp \ep_2 \cos{px}) \\
B_\pm &=& d_s \times a = i p_s \ep_\pm e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu} = \pm E \si \ep_\pm e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu} \sim \pm \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} E \, \si (\ep_1 \cos{px} \pm \ep_2 \sin{px} ) \\
\end{eqnarray}
(with their real parts) in which we trust the reader not to confuse the energy with the electric field.
The resulting ''Poynting vector'' is
$$
P_\pm = E_\pm \times B_\pm = \pm \ha E^2 (\pm \si \ep_1 \ep_2) = \ha E \, p_s
$$
The ''spin angular momentum density of an electromagnetic wave'' is the spatial vector
\begin{eqnarray}
s_\pm &=& \si ( E_\pm \times A_\pm ) = \ha \si E \, ( \ep_1 \sin{px} \mp \ep_2 \cos{px}) \times ( \ep_1 \cos{px} \pm \ep_2 \sin{px}) \\
&=& \ha \si E \, ( \pm \ep_1 \ep_2 ) = \pm \ha p_s \\
\end{eqnarray}
From the [[Yang-Mills Lagrangian]], the [[Euler-Lagrange equation]] for a $U(1)$ [[connection]] (the [[electromagnetic field]]) in curved [[spacetime]] is $\f{d} * \ff{F}=0$. With a ''current'' 1-form source, $\f{J} = \rh \f{e}^0 + \f{j}$, with $\rh$ the ''charge density'' and $\f{j}$ the ''spatial current density'', we have ''Maxwell's equations in curved spacetime'',
$$
\f{d} * \ff{F} = * \f{J} \s \f{d} \ff{F} = 0
$$
This gives the equation of motion for the electromagnetic field, $\ve{\de} \ff{F} = \f{J}$, using the [[codifferential]] operator -- either for $\f{A}$ or for the electric and magnetic fields via the [[curvature]], $\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{A} = \f{E} \f{e}^0 + \ff{B}$.
In a [[rest frame]] with negative spatial [[Minkowski metric]], we have $\ve{\de} = \ve{d} = \ve{e}{}^\mu \pa_\mu$, and so we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{J} = \rh \f{e}^0 + \f{j} &=& \lp \ve{e}^0 \pa_t + \ve{d_s} \rp \lp \f{E} \f{e}^0 + \ff{B} \rp = \ve{d} \ff{F} \\
0 &=& \lp \f{e}^0 \pa_t + \f{d}{}_s \rp \lp \f{E} \f{e}^0 + \ff{B} \rp = \f{d} \ff{F}
\end{eqnarray}
using [[vector-form algebra]], and thus we get ''Maxwell's equations in flat spacetime'' (or just ''Maxwell's equations''),
$$
\begin{array}{rclcrcl}
\rh \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \ve{d_s} \f{E}
& \s &
0 \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \f{d}{}_s \ff{B} \\
\f{j} \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! - \pa_t \f{E} + \ve{d_s} \ff{B}
& \s &
0 \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \pa_t \ff{B} + \f{d}{}_s \f{E}
\end{array}
$$
It is also possible to write Maxwell's equations as a second order PDE, $\f{J} = \ve{\de} \f{d} \f{A} = \ve{\de} \f{d} \f{A}$, for the [[electromagnetic field]], $\f{A} = \ph \f{e}^0 + \f{a}$. In flat spacetime,
\begin{eqnarray}
\rh \f{e}^0 + \f{j} &=& \lp \ve{e}{}^0 \pa_t + \ve{d_s} \rp \lp \f{e}^0 \pa_t + \f{d}{}_s \rp \lp \ph \f{e}^0 + \f{a} \rp \\
&=& \lp \ve{e}{}^0 \pa_t + \ve{d_s} \rp \lp \f{e}^0 \pa_t \f{a} + \f{d}{}_s \ph \f{e}^0 + \f{d}{}_s \f{a} \rp \\
&=& \pa^2_t \f{a} - \pa_t \f{d}{}_s \ph - \f{e}^0 \ve{d_s} \pa_t \f{a} + \f{e}^0 \ve{d_s} \f{d}{}_s \ph + \ve{d_s} \f{d}{}_s \f{a}
\end{eqnarray}
which separates into
\begin{eqnarray}
\rh &=& - \pa_t \ve{d_s} \f{a} + \ve{d_s} \f{d}{}_s \ph \\
\f{j} &=& \pa^2_t \f{a} - \pa_t \f{d}{}_s \ph + \ve{d_s} \f{d}{}_s \f{a}
\end{eqnarray}
This can also be obtained using the [[Clifford covariant derivative]] and converting to [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Clifford algebra]] valued operators and fields, in which Maxwell's equations are $J = \na \times (\na \times A)$. In flat spacetime this becomes
$$
J = d \times (d \times A) = (d \cdot d) A - d (d \cdot A)
$$
using [[Clifford product identities]], with $A = \ga^\mu A_\mu$ and $d=\ga^\mu \pa_\mu$.
Maxwell's equations are invariant under a [[gauge transformation]], $\f{A} \to \f{A}' = \f{A} - \f{d} \Ph$. This gauge freedom can be ''fixed'', either by hand or by the [[BRST technique]], resulting in a restriction, such as $0=(\f{e}^1\f{e}^2\f{e}^3)\f{A}$ -- which implies $A_0 = \ph =0$, ''Weyl gauge''.
In a vacuum with no current, these equations have plane wave [[Maxwell solutions]].

Persuaded me that the [[FuN derivative]] was worth thinking about in the context of [[Ehresmann connection]]s, and wrote a nice [[synopsis|papers/BRST2-6.pdf]].
The ''Minkowski metric'', $\et_{\mu \nu}$, is a $4 \times 4$ diagonal matrix with unit magnitude real entries. The choice of ''signature'' is somewhat arbitrary, and mostly a matter of taste. For positive time and negative space signature $(p=1, q=3)$, generally preferred by field theorists,
\[ \et_{\mu \nu}
=
\lb \begin{matrix}
1& 0& 0& 0\\
0& -1& 0& 0\\
0& 0& -1& 0\\
0& 0& 0& -1
\end{matrix} \rb
= \cases {
1&\text{if $\mu=\nu=0$}\cr
-1&\text{if $\mu=\nu>0$}}
= \et^{\mu \nu}
\]
while for negative time and positive space signature $(p=3,q=1)$, generally preferred by relativists,
\[ \eta_{\mu \nu}
=

(This "matrix" notation is a bit sloppy, since $\et_{\mu \nu}$ is not really a matrix but just a collection of indexed coefficients.) All computations should be signature ambivalent. When they're not, the signature may be accommodated by including $\et_{00}= \pm 1$ in expressions.
The ''generalized Minkowski metric'' is $n \times n$ — accommodating extra spatial dimensions (of signature $-\et_{00}$).
The Minkowski metric may be used to raise or lower label [[indices]], such as in "$\ga^\al = \et^{\al \be} \ga_\be$" and "$v_\mu = \et_{\mu \nu} v^\nu$". The Minkowski metric with one index raised or lowered is just the Kronecker delta, $\et^\al_\be = \et^{\al \ga} \et_{\ga \be} = \de^\al_\be$.

The ''Nieh-Yan density'' is an invariant closed 4-form,
$$N = \f{d} \lp \f{e} \cdot \ff{T} \rp = \ff{T} \cdot \ff{T} - \ff{R} \cdot \f{e} \f{e}$$
This may make for an interesting KK action term...
Another invariant cloese 4-form is the ''Pontryagin density'',
$$P = \li \ff{R} \ff{R} \ri$$
mentioned in http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0603134
''Symmetries'' of the [[action]] produce conserved currents.
If there exists a variation, $\Phi \mapsto \Phi + \de \Phi$, such that the [[action]] is invariant, $\de S = 0$, then the Lagrangian must vary by a [[divergence]], $\de{\cal L} = \mathrm{div} \lp \ve{\La} \de \Ph \rp$. Working this out, using integration by parts,
$$
\mathrm{div} \lp \ve{\La} \de \Ph \rp = \de{\cal L} = \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa \Phi} \de \Ph + \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Phi)} \f{\pa} \de \Ph
= \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa \Phi} \de \Ph - \mathrm{div} \lp \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Phi)} \rp \de \Ph + \mathrm{div} \lp \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Phi)} \de \Ph \rp
$$
One can define the related ''current''
$$
\vec{J} = \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Phi)} - \ve{\La}
$$
and use the [[Euler-Lagrange equation]] with the above to see that the current is conserved,
$$
\mathrm{div} \vec{J} = - \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa \Phi} + \mathrm{div} \lp \fr{\pa {\cal L}}{\pa (\f{\pa} \Phi)} \rp = 0

abstract:
Since the work of Mac-Dowell-Mansouri it is well known that gravity can be written as a gauge theory for the de Sitter group. In this paper we consider the coupling of this theory to the simplest gauge invariant observables that is, Wilson lines. The dynamics of these Wilson lines is shown to reproduce exactly the dynamics of relativistic particles coupled to gravity, the gauge charges carried by Wilson lines being the mass and spin of the particles. Insertion of Wilson lines breaks in a controlled manner the diffeomorphism symmetry of the theory and the gauge degree of freedom are transmuted to particles degree of freedom.
*Nice summation of BF.
*Three topological terms: Euler, Pontryagin, Nieh-Yan
*Interesting treatment of Imirzi parameter
*Ahh, their main idea seems to be putting in a term and identifying it as a spinning particle. I guesss that's nice, but what's the big deal? Anyway, it's a cute way of putting in point particle matter, rather than QFT matter fields. The matter action is an integral along the parameterized path of the particle.
*Path integral to Wilson line correspondence
*matter as gravitational singularity.
This looks like the result you should get if you include the Dirac action and insert an arbitrarily boosted point particle solution for the Dirac field.

$$
The three [[trace]]less, Hermitian, ''Pauli matrices'', $\si_A$, are
$$
\begin{array}{ccc}
\sigma_{1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
0 & 1\\
1 & 0\end{array}\right] & \sigma_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
0 & -i\\
i & 0\end{array}\right] & \sigma_{3}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0\\
0 & -1\end{array}\right]\end{array}
$$
The [[cross product|antisymmetric bracket]] of any two gives
$$
\si_A \times \si_B = \ha \lp \si_A \si_B - \si_B \si_A \rp = i \ep_{ABC} \si_C
$$
with $\ep_{ABC}$ the [[permutation symbol]]. The second Pauli matrix can be related to the [[skew]] operator, $\ep=-i\si_2$. The symmetric product gives
$$
\si_A \cdot \si_B = \ha \lp \si_A \si_B + \si_B \si_A \rp = \de_{AB} 1
$$
Thus the Pauli matrices are a basis [[Clifford matrix representation]] of [[Cl(3)]]. The product of the three Pauli matrices is the [[pseudoscalar]],
$$
\si = \si_1 \si_2 \si_3 = \left[\begin{array}{cc}
i & 0\\
0 & i\end{array}\right]
= i 1
$$
with the identity matrix, $1 = \si_0$, often referred to as the (non-traceless) ''zero-eth Pauli matrix''.
Using the zero-eth Pauli matrix we can define a set of four ''extended Pauli matrices'', $\si_\mu$, and the ''conjugate Pauli matrices'', $\bar{\si}_\mu = \si^\mu$, with the index raised using the $(1,3)$-signature [[Minkowski metric]]. Explicitly, we have $\si_\mu = (1,\si_1,\si_2,\si_3) = \bar{\si}^\mu$ and $\bar{\si}_\mu = (1,-\si_1,-\si_2,-\si_3) = \si^\mu$. Note that this goes against the most popular particle physics convention, which usually flips the signs of the $\si_A$ in the extended Pauli matrices. We could "fix" this by having the three Pauli matrices defined with up indices, or using different [[Dirac matrices]], but prefer to maintain index consistency.
A useful identity is $\bar{\si}_\mu{}^*= \si_2 \si_\mu \si_2 = - \ep \, \si_\mu \ep$, which is consistent with the definition $\bar{\si}_\mu = - \ep \, \si^T_\mu \ep$, of the [[2D matrix conjugate|determinant]].
A ''Pauli spinor'', $\ch$, is represented by a column of 2 complex (or complex [[Grassmann|Grassmann number]]) numbers -- the ''spin up'' and ''spin down'' components, multiplying eigenvectors of the [[spin operator]], the up and down ''Pauli basis spinors'',
$$
\ch^\wedge = \lb \ba{c}1 \\ 0 \ea \rb
\s
\ch^\vee = \lb \ba{c} 0 \\ 1 \ea \rb
\s
\ch = \lb \ba{c}a \\ b \ea \rb = a \ch^\wedge + b \ch^\vee
\s
\{ a, b \} \in \mathbb{C} \text{ or } \mathbb{G}
$$
A Pauli spinor is a two complex dimensional [[spinor]] of [[Cl(3)]] -- a unitary [[representation space]] of [[su(2)]]. Under a [[spatial rotation]], a ''rotated Pauli spinor'', using the [[Pauli matrices]] , $\si_\pi$, as the basis vector matrix representatives of $Cl(3)$ and the corresponding bivectors, is
$$
\ch' = U_a \, \ch =
\lp \si_0 \cos{\fr{\th}{2}} + i n^\pi \si_\pi \sin{\fr{\th}{2}} \rp
\ch
$$
in which $U_a \in$ [[SU(2)]] is [[unitary]].
As a unitary representation space, Pauli spinors are quaternionic: there is an [[antiunitary]] operator, $j = -i \si_2 K$, with $K$ complex conjugation, commuting with the $i \si_\pi \in su(2)$, that squares to negative the identity, $j^2 = -1$. The corresponding other [[quaternion]]ic operators, commuting with $su(2)$, are $i = i$ and $k = \si_2 K$.

The group of spacetime reflections, $R_u v = v_\perp - v_\parallel$, is the ''pin group'', $G = Pin(1,3) \subset Cl(1,3)$.
We choose chiral matrix representative basis vectors, $\ga_\mu$, of $Cl(1,3)$,
$$

A reflection, represented by $\Pi(R_u) = U = u \ga \in Cl(1,3)$, through a vector, $u$, acts on vectors (in the vector representation space, $v \in V$) via ''adjoint action'', and on ''spinors'' (in the spinor representation space) via ''left action'',
$$
v' = R_u \, v = U \, v \, U^- \!= (u \ga) \, v \, (u \ga)^- \!= - u v u^- \!= v_\perp - v_\parallel \s \s
\ps' = R_u \, \ps = U \, \ps = (u \ga) \, \ps
$$
Even numbers of reflections generate the ''spacetime spin group'', $Spin(1,3) \subset Pin(1,3)$, of Lorentz transformations, with $Spin^+(1,3) \subset Spin(1,3)$ the component connected to the identity. Explicitly:
$$
Pin(1,3) = Spin(1,3) \rtimes \{1,T \} = Spin^+(1,3) \rtimes \{1,P,T,PT \}
\s
Spin(1,3) = Spin^+(1,3) \rtimes \{1, PT \}
$$
$P$ and $T$ are distinguished reflections, ''parity reversal'' and ''unitary time reversal'',
$$
U'_P = -(\ga_1 \ga)(\ga_2 \ga)(\ga_3 \ga) = \ga_0
\s \s
U'_T = \ga_0 \ga = \ga_1 \ga_2 \ga_3
\s \s
U'_{PT} = U'_P U'_T = \ga
$$
$G_{PT} = \{ \pm 1, \pm P, \pm T, \pm PT \} = Q_8$ is a finite subgroup of $Pin(1,3)$.

Work forwards towards unification:
#[[Gauge fields|principal bundle]], [[gravity|spacetime]] and Higgs in one [[connection]].
#Calculate its [[curvature]] to get the interactions.
#Join fermions as ([[Grassmann|Grassmann number]] valued) [[BRST ghosts|BRST technique]] of a larger connection.

Guess the answer:
*Pure [[geometry of a principal bundle|Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] -- just vector fields.

*looks to be an excellent treatment of issues with path integral treatment of GR
*justifies 3+1 dimensions from algebraic topology
<<tiddler HideTags>>
Quaternions, $e_a$, and $-1$, so $8$ elements:
$$
\{ \pm 1, \pm e_1, \pm e_2, \pm e_3 \} \; \in \; G = Q_8
$$
Quaternion multiplication does not necessarily commute,
$$
e_1 e_2 = e_3 = - e_2 e_1
$$
The ''center'' of a group is the subgroup of elements that commute with everything,
$$
\{ +1, -1 \} \; \in \; C \subset G
$$
Group multiplication table, $e_a e_b = M_{ab}{}^c e_c$, with further multiplications by $-1$ implied:
| $1$ | $e_1$ | $e_2$ | $e_3$ |
| $e_1$ | $-1$ | $e_3$ | $-e_2$ |
| $e_2$ | $-e_3$ | $-1$ | $e_1$ |
| $e_3$ | $e_2$ | $-e_1$ | $-1$ |
Group representation by Pauli matrices:
$$
1 = e_0 = \si_0 = {\small \lb \ba{cc} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \ea \rb} \s
e_1 = -i \si_1 = {\small \lb \ba{cc} 0 & -i \\ -i & 0 \ea \rb} \s
e_2 = -i \si_2 = {\small \lb \ba{cc} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \ea \rb} \s
e_ 3= -i \si_3 = {\small \lb \ba{cc} -i & 0 \\ 0 & i \ea \rb} \s
$$
<<tiddler HideTags>>
How to extend $G_{CPT}$ non-trivially to act on generation-triples of fermions? Introduce the quaternion triality generator:
$$
t = -\ha (1 + e_1 + e_2 + e_3) \s \s t^- = t^2 = \ha (-1 + e_1 + e_2 + e_3) \s \s t^3=1
$$
This can act via the adjoint to cycle imaginary quaternions,
$$
\text{ad}_t e_1 = t e_1 t^-\! = e_2 \s \s \text{ad}_t e_2 = t e_2 t^-\! = e_3 \s \s \text{ad}_t e_3 = t e_3 t^-\! = e_1
$$
Whether we include the adjoint generator, $\{\text{ad}_t, e_2, e_3\}$, or the $t$ generator itself, $\{t, e_2, e_3\}$, these generators produce the ''binary tetrahedral group'', $2T$, of order $24$, which is a semi-direct product of subgroups $Q_8$ and $\mathbb{Z}_3 = \{1,\text{ad}_t,\text{ad}_t^-\} = \{1,t,t^-\}$.
Combining this triality generator with $C \sim i e_1$, $P \sim -K e_3$, and $T \sim -K e_2$, we draw several conclusions:
*Triality and $CPT \sim i$ commute.
*The ''PTt Group'' generated by $\{\text{ad}_t, P, T\}$ is $G_{PTt} = 2T$.
*The ''CPTt Group'' generated by $\{\text{ad}_t, C, P, T\}$ is $G_{CPTt} = 2T \circ D_4$, of order $96$, the central product of the binary tetrahedral group, $2T$, and the dihedral group, $D_4 = \{\pm 1, \pm i , \pm K, \pm i K \}$, of order $8$, with a shared central $\mathbb{Z}_2 = \{1,-1\}$.
*Three generations of fermions can be described by three sets of triality-related biquaternionic spinors,
$$
\ps^I = \ps_1 \s \s \ps^{II} = \text{ad}_t \ps_2 = t \ps_2 t^- \s \s \ps^{III} = \text{ad}_t^2 \ps_2 = t^- \ps_3 t
$$
Note these imply the complex structure in our biquaternionic spinors is triality invariant.
| !rank | !group | !a.k.a. | !dim | !name |
| $r$ | $A_r$ | $SU(r+1)$ | $r(r+2)$ | [[special unitary group]] |
| $r$ | $B_r$ | $SO(2r+1)$ | $r(2r+1)$ | odd [[special orthogonal group]] |
| $r$ | $C_r$ | $Sp(2r)$ | $r(2r+1)$ | symplectic group |
| $r>2$ | $D_r$ | $SO(2r)$ | $r(2r-1)$ | even [[special orthogonal group]] |
| $2$ | $G_2$ | | $14$ | G2 |

|Description|drag tiddlers by title to re-order story column display|
adapted from: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~joeraii/dragn/#Draggable
changes by ELS:
* hijack refreshTiddler() instead of overridding createTiddler()
* find title element by className instead of elementID
* set cursor style via code instead of stylesheet
* set tooltip help text
* set tiddler "position:relative" when starting drag event, restore saved value when drag ends
* update 2006.08.07: use getElementsByTagName("*") to find title element, even when it is 'buried' deep in tiddler DOM elements (due to custom template usage)
* update 2007.03.01: use apply() to invoke hijacked core function
* update 2008.01.13: only hijack core function once. (allows for dynamic loading of plugin via bookmarklet)
* update 2008.10.19: added onclick popup menu with 'move to top' and 'move to bottom' commands
* update 2010.11.30: use story.getTiddler()

One particularly interesting way $e8$ can be broken down:
\begin{eqnarray}
e8 &=& e6 + su(3) + 54 \! \times \! 3 \\
&=& so(1,9) + u(1) + 32 + su(3) + 54 \! \times \! 3\\
&=& so(1,3) + su(2) + su(2) + u(1) + 4 \! \times \! 8 + u(1) + 32 + su(3) + 54 \! \times \! 3 \\
&\to& {\scriptsize \ha} \om + W + B + \fr{1}{4} e \ph + G + 3 \! \times \! \ps + X
\end{eqnarray}
How does this $e8$ breakdown relate to [[e8 triality decomposition]]?
\begin{eqnarray}
e8 &=& so(1,7) + so(8) + 3 \! \times \! 8 \! \times \! 8 \\
&=& so(1,3) + so(4) + 4 \! \times \! 4 + so(6) + so(2) + 6 \! \times \! 2 + 3 \! \times \! 8 \! \times \! 8 \\

<<tiddler HideTags>>''Cartan subalgebra'': $\quad C=C^a T_a \;\; \subset \; {\rm Lie}(G) \vp{|_(}$
Built from a maximal commuting set of $R$ generators,
$$
\big[ T_a, T_b \big] = T_a T_b - T_b T_a = 0 \qquad \forall \quad 1 \le a,b \le R
$$
''Root vectors'', $V_\be$, are eigenvectors of $C$ in the Lie bracket,
$$
[ C , V_\be ] = \al_\be V_\be = \sum_a i C^a\al_{a\be} V_\be
$$
''Roots'', $\al_{a\be}$, are the eigenvalue coefficients. The pattern of roots in $R$ dimensions corresponds to the Lie algebra,
$$
[ V_\be , V_\ga ] = V_\de \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad \al_{\be} + \al_{\ga} = \al_{\de}
$$
''Weight vectors'' and ''weights'' are eigenvectors and eigenvalue coefficients of $C$ acting on some representation space,
$$
C \, V_\be = \al_\be V_\be
$$
Weight vectors are particles, weights are their quantum numbers.
[[Contracting|vector-form algebra]] the [[coordinate basis vectors]] with the [[Riemann curvature]] gives the ''Ricci curvature'',
$$
\f{R}{}_m = \ve{\pa_k} \ff{R}^k{}_m = \ve{\pa_k} \f{dx^i} \f{dx}^j \ha R_{ij}{}^k{}_m
= \f{dx}^j R_{ij}{}^i{}_m
$$
with the components of the ''Ricci curvature tensor'' equaling a partial contraction of the Riemann curvature tensor,
$$
R_{jm} = R_{ij}{}^i{}_m = 2 \pa_{\lb i \rd} \Ga^i{}_{\ld j \rb m} + 2 \Ga^i{}_{\lb i \rd l} \Ga^l{}_{\ld j \rb m}
$$
This tensor is symmetric if the [[torsion]] vanishes, $R_{jm}=R_{mj}$. In terms of the [[tangent bundle spin connection|tangent bundle connection]], the Ricci curvature is
$$
\f{R}{}_\al = \f{e^\de} R_{\de \al} = \ve{e_\be} \ff{R}^\be{}_\al
= \f{dx^j} 2 \lp e_\be \rp^i \lp \pa_{\lb i \rd} w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\be{}_\al + w_{\lb i \rd}{}^\be{}_\ga w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\ga{}_\al \rp
$$
with coefficients $R_{\de \al} = R_{\be \al}{}^\be{}_\de$. If the spin connection is torsionless, the Ricci curvature tensor may also be written as
\begin{eqnarray}
R_{\ga \al} &=& R_{\be \ga}{}^\be{}_\al = 2 \pa_{\lb \be \rd} w_{\ld \ga \rb}{}^\be{}_\al + 2 w_{\lb \be \ga \rb}{}^\ep w_\ep{}^\be{}_\al - 2 w_{\lb \be \rd}{}^{\ep \be} w_{\ld \ga \rb}{}_{\ep \al} \\
&=& 2 \pa_{\lb \be \rd} w_{\ld \ga \rb}{}^\be{}_\al + w_{\be \ga}{}^\ep w_\ep{}^\be{}_\al - w_\be{}^{\ep \be} w_{\ga \ep \al}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[vector bundle curvature]] for a [[tangent bundle]] describes the local geometry of the base manifold. Applying the [[tangent bundle covariant derivative|tangent bundle connection]] twice, and taking the [[antisymmetric|index bracket]] part, gives the tangent bundle curvature,
$$
\na_{\lb i \rd} \na_{\ld j \rb} \ve{v} = \na_{\lb i \rd} \lp \pa_{\ld j \rb} v^k + \Ga^k{}_{\ld j \rb l} v^l \rp \ve{\pa_k}
= \lp \pa_{\lb i \rd} \Ga^k{}_{\ld j \rb l} + \Ga^k{}_{\lb i \rd m} \Ga^m{}_{\ld j \rb l} \rp v^l \ve{\pa_k}

$$
The components of the ''Riemann curvature'' (//''tangent bundle curvature''//), $\ff{R}^k{}_l = \ha \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} R_{ij}{}^k{}_l$, are the components of the conventional Riemann curvature tensor after rearrangement, $R_{ij}{}^k{}_l \leftrightarrow R^k{}_{lij}$. (//The non-conventional Riemann index placement used here instead follows the conventional index placement for curvature tensors.//) The components are:
$$
R_{ij}{}^k{}_l = 2 \pa_{\lb i \rd} \Ga^k{}_{\ld j \rb l} + 2 \Ga^k{}_{\lb i \rd m} \Ga^m{}_{\ld j \rb l}
$$
Written with fewer indices, this is:
$$
\ff{R}^k{}_l = \f{d} \f{\Ga}^k{}_l + \f{\Ga}^k{}_m \f{\Ga}^m{}_l
$$
A different expression for the tangent bundle curvature, $\ff{R}^\be{}_\al = \ha \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} R_{ij}{}^\be{}_\al$, may also be written in terms of the [[tangent bundle spin connection|tangent bundle connection]],
$$
\na_{\lb i \rd} \na_{\ld j \rb} \ve{v} = \na_{\lb i \rd} \lp \pa_{\ld j \rb} v^\be + w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\be{}_\al v^\al \rp \ve{e_\be}
= \lp \pa_{\lb i \rd} w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\be{}_\al + w_{\lb i \rd}{}^\be{}_\ga w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\ga{}_\al \rp v^\al \ve{e_\be}
= \ha R_{ij}{}^\be{}_\al v^\al \ve{e_\be}
$$
with components:
$$
R_{ij}{}^\be{}_\al = 2 \pa_{\lb i \rd} w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\be{}_\al + 2 w_{\lb i \rd}{}^\be{}_\ga w_{\ld j \rb}{}^\ga{}_\al
$$
Or, with fewer indices:
$$
\ff{R}^\be{}_\al = \ff{F}^\be{}_\al = \f{d} \f{w}^\be{}_\al + \f{w}^\be{}_\ga \f{w}^\ga{}_\al
$$
If the spin connection is [[torsion]]less, the Riemann curvature tensor may also be written, using the [[frame]], as
$$
R_{ \de \ga}{}^\be{}_\al = \lp e_\de\rp^i \lp e_\ga\rp^j R_{ij}{}^\be{}_\al
= 2 \pa_{\lb \de \rd} w_{\ld \ga \rb}{}^\be{}_\al + 2 w_{\lb \de \ga \rb}{}^\ep w_\ep{}^\be{}_\al - 2 w_{\lb \de \rd}{}^{\ep \be} w_{\ld \ga \rb}{}_{\ep \al}
$$
in which $\pa_\al = \lp e_\al \rp^i \pa_i$ and $w_\al{}^\ga{}_\be = \lp e_\al \rp^i w_i{}^\ga{}_\be$.
The Riemann curvature may alternatively be obtained from the [[tangent bundle holonomy]].

GUT unification can be done using the $SU(5)$ subalgebra of $SO(10)$. $SU(5)$ embeds in $SO(10)$ by multiplying the real part of a $SU(5)$ matrix by a $2 \times 2$ identity matrix and multiplying the imaginary part by the [[skew]] matrix, which acts as the [[complex structure]]. But there is a (probably) better way. $SO(10)$ has $SU(2) \times SU(2) \times SU(4)$ as a maximal subalgebra. The $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ is $SO(4)$ and the $SU(4)$ is $SO(6)$, so the $SO(4) \times SO(6)$ are diagonal blocks of the $SO(10)$. The Dynkin diagram surgery for this reduction is the removal of the central $SU(2)$ node.

The ''three dimensional [[special unitary group]]'' (//''special unitary group of order two''//), $G = SU(2)$, is the [[Lie group]] of [[unitary]] $2 \times 2$ complex matrices with unit [[determinant]]. Its elements, $g \in G$, may be parameterized and obtained by [[exponentiating|exponentiation]] [[su(2)]] [[Lie algebra]] generators,
$$
g(x) = e^{x^A T_A} = e^X
$$
with $X=x^A T_A \in su(2)$. It is possible to carry out this exponentiation explicitly, and do calculations in these coordinates. However, it is more instructive to convert to [[spherical coordinates]], with
$$
X = a^1 \sin(a^2) \cos(a^3) T_1 + a^1 \sin(a^2) \sin(a^3) T_2 + a^1 \cos(a^2) T_3
= \left[\begin{array}{cc}
i a^1 \cos(a^2) & i a^1 e^{i a^3} \sin(a^2)\\
i a^1 e^{-i a^3} \sin(a^2) & -i a^1 \cos(a^2)\end{array}\right]
$$
and perform the [[spectral decomposition|eigen]],
$$
X = U \La U^-
= \left[\begin{array}{cc}
- e^{i a^3} \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) & e^{i a^3} \cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) \\
\cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) & \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) \end{array}\right]
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
- i a^1 & 0 \\
0 & i a^1 \end{array}\right]
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
- e^{-i a^3} \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) & e^{-i a^3} \cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) \\
\cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) & \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) \end{array}\right]
$$
in order to exponentiate and get:
\begin{eqnarray}
g(a) &=& e^X = U e^\La U^-
= \left[\begin{array}{cc}
- e^{i a^3} \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) & e^{i a^3} \cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) \\
\cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) & \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) \end{array}\right]
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
e^{- i a^1} & 0 \\
0 & e^{i a^1} \end{array}\right]
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
- e^{-i a^3} \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) & e^{-i a^3} \cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) \\
\cos(\fr{a^2}{2}) & \sin(\fr{a^2}{2}) \end{array}\right] \\
&=&
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
\cos(a^1) + i \sin(a^1) \cos(a^2) & i \sin(a^1) e^{i a^3} \sin(a^2) \\
i \sin(a^1) e^{-i a^3} \sin(a^2) & \cos(a^1) - i \sin(a^1) \cos(a^2) \end{array}\right] \\
&=& \cos(a^1) \, 1 + \fr{\sin(a^1)}{a^1} X
\end{eqnarray}
This could have been found more easily by using $XX = - (a^1)^2$ to compute the exponential -- but this won't be true for general Lie groups, while the above method generalizes nicely.
The [[Lie group geometry]] is described by the left and right acting (right and left invariant) vector fields, and their dual 1-form fields. Over most of the group manifold, the [[Maurer-Cartan form]],
$$
\f{\cal I}(a) = g^-(a) \f{d} g(a) = \f{da^i} \lp\xi^R_i\rp^A T_A = \f{da^i} \lp e_i\rp^A T_A
$$
has components (best computed using Mathematica or something):
\begin{eqnarray}
\lp e_i\rp^A &=& \lp T^A, g^-(a) \pa_i g(a) \rp \\
&=& \ha
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
\sin(a^2) \cos(a^3) & - \sin(a^2) \sin(a^3) & \cos(a^2) \\
\sin(a^1) \lp \cos(a^1) \cos(a^2) \cos(a^3) + \sin(a^1) \sin(a^3) \rp & \sin(a^1) \lp \sin(a^1) \cos(a^3) - \cos(a^1) \cos(a^2) \sin(a^3) \rp & - \ha \sin(2 a^1) \sin(a^2) \\
\ha \lp - \sin^2(a^1) \sin(2 a^2) \cos(a^3) + \sin(2 a^1) \sin(a^2) \sin(a^3) \rp & \sin(a^1) \sin(a^2) \lp \cos(a^1) \cos(a^3) + \sin(a^1) \cos(a^2) \sin(a^3) \rp & \sin^2(a^1) \sin^2(a^2)
\end{array}\right]
\end{eqnarray}
Identifying these as the [[frame]] components for the [[Lie group tangent bundle geometry]], using the su(2) [[Killing form]], $g_{AB} = -2 \de_{AB}$, gives the metric for the Lie group geometry,
$$
g_{ij}(a) = \lp e_i\rp^A g_{AB} \lp e_j \rp^B
=
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
-8 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & -8 \sin^2(a^1) & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -8 \sin^2(a^1) \sin^2(a^2)
\end{array}\right]
$$
$SU(2) = Spin(3)$ may also be thought of as the group generated by the bivectors of the three dimensional Clifford algebra, [[Cl(3)]]. Under this representation, each group element, $g$, is a $Cl(3)$ scalar plus a bivector. This is also equivalent to representation by [[quaternion]]s. The ''unitary group'', $\left\{ U\in GL(C)\mid UU^{\da}=1\right\} $, corresponds to the unitary [[subgroup]] of the Clifford Algebra, $\left\{ U\in Cl\mid U\gamma_{0}\widetilde{U}=\gamma_{0}\right\}$, with $\widetilde{U}$ the [[Clifford reverse|Clifford conjugate]].
The ''eight dimensional [[special unitary group]]'' (//''special unitary group of order three''//), $G = SU(3)$, is the [[Lie group]] of [[unitary]] $3 \times 3$ complex matrices with unit [[determinant]]. Its elements, $g \in G$, may be parameterized and obtained by [[exponentiating|exponentiation]] the [[su(3)]] [[Lie algebra]] generators,
$$
g(x) = e^{x^i T_i}
$$

**[[path integrals|papers/w07week08a.pdf]]
The ''Schwarzschild solution'' gives the unique geometry of [[spacetime]] in the vicinity of an uncharged, non-rotating, spherically symmetric mass, $M$. This approximately describes spacetime around the sun, earth, or black holes. The solution is most concisely expressed by the [[frame]],
$$
\f{e} = \f{dt} \lp 1 - \fr{R_s}{r} \rp^\ha \ga_0 + \f{dr} \fr{1}{c} \lp 1 - \fr{R_s}{r} \rp^{-\ha} \ga_1
+ \f{d\th} \fr{r}{c} \ga_2 + \f{d\ph} \fr{r \sin{\th}}{c} \ga_3
$$
having diagonal frame matrix. The coordinates are $(x^0,x^1,x^2,x^3)=(t,r,\th,\ph)$ and have [[units]] $(T,L,0,0)$. The solution has a coordinate singularity at $r=R_S=\fr{2GM}{c^2}$, corresponding to the ''Schwarzchild radius'' -- the horizon beyond which light cannot escape.
A coordinate singularity can be avoided by using freely falling coordinates, such as those of Gullstrand-Painleve, in which the frame is
$$
\f{e} = \f{dt} \ga_0 + \f{dt} \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \ga_1 + \f{dr} \fr{1}{c} \ga_1 + \f{d\th} \fr{r}{c} \ga_2 + \f{d\ph} \fr{r \sin{\th}}{c} \ga_3
$$
The angular [[spherical coordinates]], $\th$ and $\ph$, range from $0$ to $\pi$ and from $0$ to $2\pi$. The radial coordinate, $r$, is scaled so the area of the 2D surface at $r=R$ is
$$
A = c^2 \int_{r=R} \f{e^2} \f{e^3} = \int \f{d\th}\f{d\ph} R^2 \sin{\th}=4\pi R^2
$$
for any time, $t$. The coframe is
$$
\ve{e} = \ga^0 \ve{\pa_t} - \ga^0 c \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \ve{\pa_r} + \ga^1 c \ve{\pa_r} + \ga^2 \fr{c}{r} \ve{\pa_\th} + \ga^3 \fr{c}{r \sin(\th)} \ve{\pa_\ph}
$$
The [[torsion]]less [[spin connection]], found by solving [[Cartan's equation]], $0=\f{d} \f{e} + \f{\om} \times \f{e}$, is
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\om} &=& - \ve{e} \times \f{d} \f{e} + \fr{1}{4} \lp \ve{e} \times \ve{e} \rp \lp \f{e} \cdot \f{d} \f{e} \rp \\
&=& - \f{d t} \fr{c R_S}{2 r^2} \ga_{01} - \f{d r} \fr{1}{2 r} \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \ga_{01}
+ \f{d \th} \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \ga_{02} + \f{d \th} \ga_{12}
+ \f{d \ph} \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \sin(\th) \ga_{03} + \f{d \ph} \sin(\th) \ga_{13} + \f{d \ph} \cos(\th) \ga_{23}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[Clifford-Riemann curvature]] is
\begin{eqnarray}
\ff{R} &=& \f{d} \f{\om} + \ha \f{\om} \f{\om} \\
&=& - \f{d t} \f{d r} \fr{c R_S}{r^3} \ga_{01}
+ \f{d t} \f{d \th} \fr{c R_S}{2 r^2} \ga_{02}
+ \f{d t} \f{d \th} \fr{c R_S}{2r^2} \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \ga_{12}
+ \f{d t} \f{d \ph} \fr{c R_S \sin{\th}}{2r^2} \ga_{03} \\
&+& \f{d t} \f{d \ph} \fr{c R_S \sin{\th}}{2r^2} \sqrt{\fr{R_S}{r}} \ga_{13}
+ \f{d r} \f{d \th} \fr{R_S}{2r^2} \ga_{12}
+ \f{d r} \f{d \ph} \fr{R_S \sin{\th}}{2r^2} \ga_{13}
- \f{d \th} \f{d \ph} \fr{R_S \sin{\th}}{r} \ga_{23}
\end{eqnarray}
The [[Clifford-Ricci curvature]] is
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{R} &=& \ve{e} \times \ff{R} = 0
\end{eqnarray}
showing that the Schwarzschild solution satisfies the vacuum [[Einstein's equation]] away from the curvature singularity at $r=0$.

[[Spin(11,3), particles and octonions|papers/2104.01786.pdf]]
Authors: Kirill Krasnov
The fermionic fields of one generation of the Standard Model, including the Lorentz spinor degrees of freedom, can be identified with components of a single real 64-dimensional semi-spinor representation S of the group Spin(11,3). We describe an octonionic model for Spin(11,3) in which the semi-spinor representation gets identified with S=OxO', where O,O' are the usual and split octonions respectively. It is then well-known that choosing a unit imaginary octonion u in Im(O) equips O with a complex structure J. Similarly, choosing a unit imaginary split octonion u' in Im(O') equips O' with a complex structure J', except that there are now two inequivalent complex structures, one parametrised by a choice of a timelike and the other of a spacelike unit u'. In either case, the identification S=OxO' implies that there are two natural commuting complex structures J, J' on S. Our main new observation is that the subgroup of Spin(11,3) that commutes with both J, J' on S is the direct product Spin(6) x Spin(4) x Spin(1,3) of the Pati-Salam and Lorentz groups, when u' is chosen to be timelike. The splitting of S into eigenspaces of J corresponds to splitting into particles and anti-particles. The splitting of S into eigenspaces of J' corresponds to splitting of Lorentz Dirac spinors into two different chiralities. We also study the simplest possible symmetry breaking scenario with the "Higgs" field taking values in the representation that corresponds to 3-forms in R^{11,3}. We show that this Higgs can be designed to transform as the bi-doublet of the left/right symmetric extension of the SM, and thus breaks Spin(11,3) down to the product of the SM, Lorentz and U(1)_{B-L} groups, with the last one remaining unbroken. This 3-form Higgs field also produces the Dirac mass terms for all the particles.
Notes:
He has ferms in $8 \otimes 8' = 64_+$ of $spin(11,3)$... Those $8$'s are of $spin(7)$ and $spin(4,3)$... which are rank 3 Lie algebras, with Cartan coords $\{x,y,z\}$ and $\{\om_S,U,V\}$... which must complete to $\{\om_T,\om_S,U,V,x,y,z\}$ under $spin(11,3)$, with the $\om_T$ bivector made from one (space) vec from $Cl(4,3)$ and one (time) from $Cl(7)$, which works... but that is not a $8_+ \otimes 8'_+$ under $spin(8) + spin(4,4) \subset spin(12,4)$ using $\om_t$ that's from $spin(11,3)$. It's half in $8_+ \otimes 8'_+$ and half in $8_- \otimes 8'_-$. To get this to work right, use $\Ga_t$ from $spin(7)$ with extra vector in $spin(8)$ to make a $p$ "particle vs anti-particle" quantum number. And the $\Ga_3$ in $spin(4,3)$ can combine with the extra vector in $spin(4,4)$ to make a $p\om_T$ operator. Then you have a $8_+ \otimes 8'_+$ for one gen. But can't triality rotate that without running in to $\om$ components in $8_v \otimes 8'_v$.
Krasnov put $\Ga_t$ in $spin(4,3)$ though, and thus didn't get the $su(2)_W$ in there... though that wasn't especially clear in the paper. His $J$ is $xyz$ and $J'$ is $\ga=\om_T \om_S$. Maybe he's using $\{x,y,z\}$ and $\{\om_T, \om_S, h\}$ to get $8 \otimes 8'$. Or could be $\{\om_T, \om_S, U\}$ or $\{\om_T, \om_S, V\}$.

A carriage return ends a paragraph, so a slightly larger (this should be made bigger) space appears between paragraphs. But the beginning of a new paragraph is not indented, even if tabs or spaces are inserted. So, for now, use extra carriage returns to separate paragraphs.
And maybe implement tab indentation in the future.

Super coset spaces play an important role in the formulation of supersymmetric theories. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the geometry of super coset spaces with particular focus on the way the geometrical structures of the super coset space G/H are inherited from the super Lie group G. The isometries of the super coset space are discussed and a definition of Killing supervectors - the supervectors associated with infinitesimal isometries - is given that can be easily extended to spaces other than coset spaces.

The tags group collections of notes into sets -- they're adjectives, directories, or folders. By selecting a tag, visible in the upper right of each note, you can jump to any note labeled with that tag -- a navigational convenience. It's efficacious to build a flexible hierarchy of tagged content. Each note should be labeled by its most appropriate, "lowest" leaf tags -- more than one as appropriate. Click on the tag to see a popup menu of notes with that tag. Alternatively, these folders and their contents may be selectively displayed in the "Contents" tab to the left.
//implementing hierarchical tagging seems to be a bit of a mess right now... wait and it will get better.//

Wow, I'm [[This Week's Find in Mathematical Physics|http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/week253.html]]! Here's a quick tiddler I wrote that week when I found out:
[[John Baez]] discusses my work on describing all fields of the standard model and gravity as parts of a [[superconnection]] for the [[E8]] [[principal bundle]] over a four dimensional base manifold. And he discusses a LOT of other, related mathematics that will be keeping me busy over the next year, at least.
On 6/25/08 I delivered my [[talk for Loops 07]] in Morelia. (That links to a wiki tiddler including links to all my talk slides (printed out from this web page), as well as supporting links, AND the audio files for the talk as I practiced it (high bandwidth recommended). The slides are also available as [[this pdf file|talks/Loops07/Loops2007.pdf]]. The talk as I actually gave it is available at the [[Loops '07|http://www.matmor.unam.mx/eventos/loops07/cont_abs.html]] site under my name. It includes many excellent questions asked by Lee Smolin and others afterwards. (An excellent question being one a speaker has already thought through and wants to talk about anyway.) This talk was VERY well received -- I've had so many physics conversations with LQG people in the past two days that my head is ready to explode. They are such great and friendly people! Sadly, on the morning of the third day I started having flu symptoms, and pulled myself away from the discussion and into hotel room quarantine -- I didn't want to infect new friends with viruses, just ideas. I'm here in my room trying to get better, and being sad, when up pops a link to This Week's Finds.... happy and sick is a bizarre combination.
!Summary of the proposed [[E8]] [[T.o.E.|theory of everything]] for physicists, from the top down:
The universe is described by a Yang-Mills theory, with [[E8]] as the gauge group over a four dimensional base [[manifold]]. The field is a non-compact [[e8]] valued [[connection]] [[1-form]] which breaks up into different parts of the [[Lie algebra]],
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{A} &=& \f{H} + \f{G} + \f{\Ps}{}_I + \f{\Ps}{}_{II} + \f{\Ps}{}_{III} \\
&& \in \f{so}(1,7) \oplus \f{so}(1,7) \oplus \f{End}(V^{(1,7)}) \oplus \f{End}(S^{(1,7)+}) \oplus \f{End}(S^{(1,7)-})
\end{eqnarray}
The action for this connection is presumed to be invariant under gauge transformations taking the $\Ps$'s to zero -- we gauge away the $\Ps$'s. The [[BRST technique]] (Faddeev-Popov) of standard QFT is used to replace the $\Ps$'s with blocks of [[Grassmann|Grassmann number]] valued ghost fields in the same part of the Lie agebra, giving the BRST extended connection,
$$
\udf{A} = \f{H} + \f{G} + \ud{\Ps}{}_I + \ud{\Ps}{}_{II} + \ud{\Ps}{}_{III}
$$
Computing the [[curvature]] of this extended connection gives
$$
\udff{F} = \big( \f{d} \f{H} + \f{H} \f{H} \big) + \big( \f{d} \f{G} + \f{G} \f{G} \big) + \big( \f{d} \ud{\Ps}{}_{I-III} + \f{H} \ud{\Ps}{}_{I-III} + \ud{\Ps}{}_{I-III} \f{G} \big)
$$
Here, in the beautiful structure of $E8$, the $so(1,7)$ parts of the connection act as [[Clifford bivectors|Clifford algebra]] multiplying a set of three blocks of Grassmann valued [[spinor]]s from the left and from the right. These ghost fields have precisely the transformations and charges of the fermions -- so I go ahead and interpret them as the physical fermions. (If you don't like this derivation, you're welcome to just start with a superconnection and go from there.) The first $so(1,7)$ part of the connection, $\f{H}$, is broken up into the gravitational [[spin connection]], $\f{\om} \in \f{\rm so}(1,3)$, the electroweak fields, $\f{W} + \f{B} \in \f{\rm su}(2) \oplus \f{\rm u}(1) \subset \f{\rm su}(2) \oplus \f{\rm su}(2) = \f{\rm so}(4)$, and the combined [[frame]] and Higgs are assigned to the rest of $\f{H}$, giving
$$
\f{H} = \ha \f{\om} + \fr{1}{4}\f{e}\ph + \f{B} + \f{W}
$$
The $\f{G_{\rm strong}} \in \f{\rm su}(3) \subset \f{\rm su}(4) = \f{\rm so}(6)$ gluons and part of the $\f{B}$ go in the second $\f{\rm so}(1,7)$ part of the connection, $\f{G}$, with $19$ of $28$ generators left unused. (We could just as well have started with $\f{\rm so}(8)$ for this part of $E8$ -- I'm not sure which is better yet.) The curvature, $\udff{F}$, gives all the correct interactions of the standard model and [[modified BF gravity]]. This is very beautiful -- the entire structure of the standard model and gravity, including interactions, fits snugly in $E8$, considered by some to be the most beautiful structure in mathematics. Exactly what you want for a T.O.E. But it doesn't work perfectly yet -- I haven't figured out if the Higgs can correctly mix the generations; ideally, I want to get the CKMPMNS (mass) matrix out of $E8$. This will be what I work on from here until I get it or find it doesn't work -- and it will very distinctly be one or the other. Since we have room (unassigned generators) in $\f{G}$, we can steal some, reducing that block to $\f{G} \in \f{\rm so}(6)$ while still fitting the gluons, and using those stolen generators to have more Higgs fields in a larger $\f{H} \in \f{\rm so}(1,9)$. These Higgs terms mix between the generations, and I will be trying to use this new gauge field reassignment to fit the fermions in what's left over and get the mass matrix out. Depite how well this picture has come together so far, it may just not work, but it's what I'm after.
From my perspective, fitting the standard model into the structure of $E8$ came as a complete shock: I did not initially build this theory from the top down, but from the bottom up -- by spending years massaging the standard model and gravity into the most elegant (but weird!) and minimalistic mathematical framework possible. If you look at [[this paper|http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0511120]], you will find this strange Lie algebra block structure of $\udf{A} = \f{H} + \f{G} + \ud{\Ps}$, with a big empty space I couldn't explain. (Note that E8 is not mentioned in this paper!) When I bumped into $E8$, and found this same algebraic block structure but with two more generations of fermions... what can I say, you get only one or two moments like that in life, if you're very lucky.
!!Summary of the summary:
Everything is described by a broken [[e8]] valued [[superconnection]] over our four dimensional base manifold,
\begin{eqnarray}
\udf{A} &=& {\small \frac{1}{2}} \f{\om} + {\small \frac{1}{4}} \f{e} \ph + \f{B} + \f{W} + \f{G} + \ud{\nu^e} + \ud{e} + \ud{u} + \ud{d} \\
&& + \ud{\nu^\mu} + \ud{\mu} + \ud{c} + \ud{s}
+ \ud{\nu^\ta} + \ud{\ta} + \ud{t} + \ud{b}
\end{eqnarray}
All standard model interactions (and gravity) come from the curvature of this connection.

We review the canonical analysis of the Palatini action without going to the time gauge as in the standard derivation of Loop Quantum Gravity. This allows to keep track of the Lorentz gauge symmetry and leads to a theory of Covariant Loop Quantum Gravity. This new formulation does not suffer from the Immirzi ambiguity, it has a continuous area spectrum and uses spin networks for the Lorentz group. Finally, its dynamics can easily be related to Barrett-Crane like spin foam models.
*looks like a good intro to recent developments

we now look at the vector space
$$
so(8) + so(8) + end(V) + end(S^+) + end(S^-)
$$
...Since $so(8)$ has a representation as linear transformations of $V$, it has two representations on $end(V)$, corresponding to ''left and right matrix multiplication''; glomming these two together we get a representation of $so(8) + so(8)$ on $end(V)$. Similarly we have representations of $so(8) + so(8)$ on $end(S^+)$ and $end(S^-)$. Putting all this stuff together we get a Lie algebra, if we do it right - and it's $E8$.

<<tiddler HideTags>>Work forwards, guess the answer, then work backwards.
Work forwards:
#[[Gauge fields|principal bundle]], [[gravity|spacetime]] and Higgs in one [[connection]].
#Calculate its [[curvature]] to get the interactions.
#Join fermions as ([[Grassmann|Grassmann number]] valued) [[BRST ghosts|BRST technique]] of a larger connection.
#Correct [[standard model]] and gravitational interactions and charges from the curvature.
Guess the answer:
*Pure [[geometry of a principal bundle|Ehresmann principal bundle connection]] -- just vector fields.
*One very large [[Lie group]] is a match!
Work backwards:
#All interactions from the group [[structure|Lie algebra]], after symmetry breaking.
#Explains exactly what and why [[spinor]]s are.
#Gives three generations.
#Lots still to do, but do-able.~~ ~~

</script>This is [[Garrett Lisi]]'s personal wiki notebook in theoretical physics.
Each note describes some bit of mathematical physics, while linking it to everything else. The notes are organized by [[Tags]] in an expandable list to the left of this window. Or you can look up mathematical objects by [[symbol|Symbols]], or type any phrase to search for in the field to the left. From any note you can follow links to others or click in the bottom list of notes that link to it. (These are wiki-links, so tabbed browsing won't work in the usual way.) You can also see which notes have been edited recently, under "[[Latest|TabTimeline]]." That's about it for basic orientation — you can read more [[About]] what you're looking at, or pick it up as you go.
Welcome to my brain, have fun looking around.
The last two notes I edited are below.
The left-chiral [[Weyl equation|Dirac equation]] in a [[rest frame]],
$$
0 = \lp i \pa_0 - i \si_\va \pa_\va \rp \psi_{L}
$$
has a positive energy solution, $\ps_L = \ch e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu}$, and a negative energy solution, $\ps_L = \ch e^{+ i p_\mu x^\mu}$, with $p$ the [[momentum]]. These, respectively, reduce the left-chiral Weyl equation to
$$
0 = \pm \lp E + p^\va \si_\va \rp \ch
$$
Since the [[helicity state]]s, $\ch_\pm$, satisfy $p_u^\va \si_\va \, \ch_\pm = \pm \ch_\pm$ the left-chiral Weyl equation is solved by the left-handed state, $\ch = \ch_-$, for both positive and negative energy solutions,
$$
\ps_L = \ch_- e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu}
\s \s
\ps_L = \ch_- e^{+ i p_\mu x^\mu}
$$
The right-chiral Weyl equation,
$$
0 = \lp i \pa_0 + i \si_\va \pa_\va \rp \psi_{R}
$$
is similarly solved by positive and negative energy right-handed helicity states,
$$
\ps_R = \ch_+ e^{- i p_\mu x^\mu}
\s \s
\ps_R = \ch_+ e^{+ i p_\mu x^\mu}
$$
To match [[massless Dirac solutions]], we use the [[charge conjugate]] helicity states or phase-related helicity states,
$$
\xi_\pm = \mp \ep \ch_\mp^* = - \ch_\pm
\s \s
\ch_-^{\wedge/\vee} = \lp 1 - p_u \rp \ch^{\wedge/\vee}
\s \s
\xi_-^{\wedge/\vee} = \lp 1 - p_u \rp \xi^{\wedge/\vee}
$$

A ''Weyl [[spinor]]'', $\ps_{L/R}$, is the left or right [[chiral]] part of a Dirac spinor, using the [[Weyl representation|Dirac matrices]] of the [[spacetime]] [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Clifford algebra]]. These parts are the ''left-handed Weyl spinor'' and ''right-handed Weyl spinor'',
$$
\ps_L
= \ps_L^\wedge \ch^\wedge + \ps_L^\vee \ch^\vee
= \lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_L^\wedge \\
\ps_L^\vee
\end {array} \rb
\s \s
\ps_R
= \ps_R^\wedge \ch^\wedge + \ps_R^\vee \ch^\vee
= \lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps_R^\wedge \\
\ps_R^\vee
\end {array} \rb
$$
each a [[Pauli spinor]]. Instead of using spin eigenvectors, Weyl spinors can also be written in terms of a [[helicity]] eigenspinor basis, $\ps_\pm$, for any chosen [[momentum]].
Under a [[spatial rotation]] or [[Lorentz boost]], a Weyl spinor transforms via the left or right chiral half of a [[Clifford rotation]], $\ps'_{L/R}(x') = U_{L/R} \, \ps_{L/R} = e^{\ha B_{L/R}} \ps_{L/R} (x)$, with rotations and boosts corresponding to
\begin{eqnarray}
U_{L/R}^\text{rotation} &=& \si_0 \cos{\fr{\th}{2}} + i n^\pi \si_\pi \sin{\fr{\th}{2}} \\
U_{L/R}^\text{boost} &=& \si_0 \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \mp n^\pi \si_\pi \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}}
\end{eqnarray}
using [[Pauli matrices]]. A Weyl spinor is thus an element of the chiral spinor [[representation space]] of [[spin(1,3)]] represented as $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$.
A ''Weyl spinor field'' over spacetime, $\ud{\ps}_{L/R}(x)$, is a [[Grassmann number]] field or operator over spacetime, which we often conflate with a Weyl spinor.

A ''Wick rotation'' of fields and algebraic elements is a way of consistently transforming between Lorentzian and Euclidean [[spacetime]], based on the idea of allowing a Lorentzian time coordinate to become complex, as an active [[diffeomorphism]],
$$
t \to t' = e^{i \th} t \in \mathbb{C}
$$
in which $e^{i \th}$ is the Wick phase, with $0 \le \th \le \fr{\pi}{2}$. For a full Wick rotation, $\th = \fr{\pi}{2}$, we have a ''Euclidean time coordinate'', $\ta \in \mathbb{R}$, such that $t' = i \ta$. From the diffeomorphism we have a linear operator, $\f{\ve{L}} = \f{dx^i} L_i{}^j \ve{\pa'_j}$, with $L_i{}^j = \pa_i x'^j = \mathrm{diag}(e^{i \th},1,1,1)$. The [[Dirac Lagrangian]] is covariant under this ''Wick diffeomorphism'' via [[Dirac Lagrangian diffeomorphism covariance]], but this is not quite what we want, since the resulting Lagrangian is still [[spin(1,3)]] invariant and not $spin(4)$ invariant as we wish for Euclidean spacetime.
We can combine the Wick diffeomorphism with a [[Cl(1,3)]] Clifford algebra [[similarity transformation|Clifford adjoint]],
$$
\ga_\mu \to \ga_\mu^\th = S \ga_\mu S^- \s \s S = e^{i \fr{\th}{2} \ga^0 \ga} = \cos \fr{\th}{2} + i \ga^0 \ga \, \sin \fr{\th}{2} \s \s S_E = e^{i \fr{\pi}{4} \ga^0 \ga} = \fr{1}{\sqrt{2}} (1 + i \ga^0 \ga)
$$
in which $\ga = \ga_0 \ga_1 \ga_2 \ga_3$ is the spacetime [[pseudoscalar]], and the operator $S$ is not a [[rotor|Clifford rotation]] but is [[unitary]], $S^\da = S^- = e^{-i \fr{\th}{2} \ga^0 \ga}$. This "rotates" the temporal Clifford vector and psuedoscalar into each other, along with a multiplication by $i$,
$$
\ba{rccclcrcl}
\ga^0_\th \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! S \ga^0 S^- \ae \ga^0 \cos \th - i \ga \sin \th & \s \s & \ga^0_E \ae -i \ga \\
\ga_\th \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! S \ga S^- \ae \ga \cos \th - i \ga^0 \sin \th & & \ga^0_E \ae - i \ga_0 \\
\ea
$$
and leaves $\ga^\pi_\th = \ga^\pi$. For $\th = \fr{\pi}{2}$ the Wick transformation of the gamma matrices, via $S_E$, is identical to the [[similarity transformation|Dirac matrices]] relating the Weyl representation to the Dirac representation.
Under this ''Wick similarity transformation'' a [[Dirac spinor]] transforms as $\Ps \to \Ps_\th = S \Ps$, and the [[Dirac adjoint]] transforms as
$$
\bar{\Ps} \xrightarrow{?} \bar{\Ps}_\th = (S \Ps)^\da \ga^0_\th = \Ps^\da \ga^0 S^- = \bar{\Ps} S^-
$$
The Dirac Lagrangian, which is covariant under Wick diffeomorphism, is invariant under Wick similarity transformation, and is covariant under their combination,
$$
\ba{rcl}
\mathcal{L}_\Ps \xrightarrow{?} \mathcal{L}'^\th_\Ps(t,x) \ae \bar{\Psi}'_\th \lp i \ga^\mu_\th (e'_\mu)^i \lp \pa_i + \ha \om'^\th_i + A'_i \rp - m \rp \Ps'_\th(t,x) \\
\ae (\bar{\Psi} S^-) \lp i (S \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^j L^-_j{}^i S^-) L_i{}^k \lp \pa'_k + \ha S \om_k S^- + A_k \rp - m \rp S \Psi (t'(t),x) \\
\ae \bar{\Psi} \lp i \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^k \lp \pa'_k + \ha \om_k + A_k \rp - m \rp \Psi(t'(t),x) = \mathcal{L}_\Ps (t'(t),x)
\ea
$$
in which the [[frame]] transforms as $\ve{e} \to \ve{e}'(t,x) = S \ve{e}(t'(t),x) \f{\ve{L}}^- S^-$. However, again, since this Lagrangian is still not $spin(4)$ invariant, this is not quite what we want. What we //do// want is a different transformation of the the Dirac adjoint such that we get a ''Euclidean adjoint'',
$$
\bar{\Ps} \to \bar{\Ps}_\th = \bar{\Ps} S = \Ps^\da \ga^0 S = \Ps^\da S^- \ga^0 = \Ps_\th^\da \ga^0
$$
This, combined with the Wick diffeomorphism and transformations of $\Ps$ and $\ga^\mu$ by $S$, gives a ''general Wick transformation'' to a ''complex Dirac Lagrangian'',
$$
\ba{rcl}
\mathcal{L}_\Ps \to \mathcal{L}'^\th_\Ps(t,x) \ae \bar{\Psi}'_\th \lp i \ga^\mu_\th (e'_\mu)^i \lp \pa_i + \ha \om'^\th_i + A'_i \rp - m \rp \Psi'_\th(t,x) \\
\ae (\bar{\Psi} S) \lp i (S \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^j L^-_j{}^i S^-) L_i{}^k \lp \pa'_k + \ha S \om_k S^- + A_k \rp - m \rp S \Psi(t'(t),x) \\
\ae \bar{\Psi} S^2 \lp i \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^k \lp \pa'_k + \ha \om_k + A_k \rp - m \rp \Psi(t'(t),x)
\ea
$$
in which $S^2 = \cos \th + i \ga^0 \ga \sin \th$. For $\th = \fr{\pi}{2}$ we have the ''Wick transformation'', giving a ''Euclidean Dirac Lagrangian'',
$$
\ba{rcl}
\mathcal{L}_\Ps \to \mathcal{L}^E_\Ps(t,x) \ae \Ps'^\da_E \ga^0 \lp i \ga^\mu_E (e'_\mu)^j \lp \pa_j + \ha \om'^E_j + A'_j \rp - m \rp \Psi'_E(t,x) \\
\ae \Ps^\da i \ga \lp i \ga^\mu (e_\mu)^k \lp \pa'_k + \ha \om_k + A_k \rp - m \rp \Psi(t'(t),x)
\ea
$$
invariant under $spin(4)$ [[Clifford rotation]]s.
The [[Lagrangian form|action]] for a [[principal bundle]] [[connection]], $\f{A}$, in a curved [[spacetime]] of any dimension, is
$$
\nf{{\cal L}} = \ha \lp \ff{F}, * \ff{F} \rp
$$
in which $\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{A} + \f{A} \f{A}$ is the [[curvature]], $*\ff{F}$ is its [[Hodge dual]], and $\lp,\rp$ is the [[Lie algebra]] [[Killing form]]. Over a local four dimensional spacetime patch, in coordinates, this corresponds to a Lagrangian density, ${\cal L} = \fr{1}{4} \lp F_{\mu \nu}, F^{\mu \nu} \rp$. Extremizing the [[action]] with respect to $\f{A}$,
\begin{eqnarray}
0 &=& \de S = \de \int \ha \lp \ff{F}, * \ff{F} \rp = \int \lp \de \ff{F}, * \ff{F} \rp \\
&=& \int \lp \f{d} \, \de \f{A} + \de \f{A} \, \f{A} + \f{A} \, \de \f{A} , *\ff{F} \rp \\
&=& \int \lp \de \f{A}, \f{d} * \ff{F} + \f{A} * \ff{F} - * \ff{F} \f{A} \rp
\end{eqnarray}
we get the [[Euler-Lagrange equation]] -- the ''Yang-Mills equation'' in curved spacetime,
$$
0 = \f{d}{}_A * \ff{F} = \f{d} * \ff{F} + \lb \f{A}, * \ff{F} \rb
$$
For the $U(1)$ Lie group, in a flat spacetime [[rest frame]], the Lagrangian reduces to
$$
{\cal L} = - \fr{1}{4} F_{\mu \nu} F^{\mu \nu} = - \ha \lp | \f{E} |^2 - | \f{B} |^2 \rp
$$
and the Yang-Mills equation is one of [[Maxwell's equations]].
The ''action'', $S$, of a dynamical system is a specific map, a functional, from the system's configuration space to the real numbers. The action for a field theory is usually an [[integral|integration]] over spacetime,
$$
S = \int \nf{{\cal L}} = \int \nf{e} \, {\cal L} (\Ph,\f{\pa} \Ph) = \int dt \, L
$$
in which $\nf{e}$ is the spacetime [[volume form]], $L$ is the ''Lagrangian'', $\cal{L}$ is the ''Lagrangian density'' which is also usually just called the "Lagrangian", and $\nf{{\cal L}}$ is the ''Lagrangian form''.

The ''adjoint representation'' of a [[Lie group]] is a distinguished [[representation]] whereby the $N$-dimensional representation space is the group's [[Lie algebra]], acted on as
$$
{\rm Ad}_g X = g X g^-
$$
This produces a corresponding adjoint representation of the Lie algebra,
$$
{\rm Ad}_A B = \fr{d}{dt} \lp e^{tA} B e^{-tA} \rp |_0= \lb A, B \rb = A B - B A
$$
An ''affine Lie algebra'', ${\mathfrak{g}}^+$, is an infinite-dimensional [[Lie algebra]] that presents with an infinite tower of basis elements, $T^m_A$, with $N$ basis elements of $\mathfrak{g}$ in each ''level'', $m \in {\mathbb Z}$, and a ''central extension basis element'' ([[central element]]), $C \in {\mathbb R}$. Adding a ''derivation basis element'' (''scaling element''), $D$, produces the corresponding ''affine Kac-Moody algebra''. The nonzero Lie brackets are
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
\lb T^m_A , T^n_B \rb \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! C_{AB}{}^C T^{m+n}_C + m \, g_{AB} \de^{m+n,0} C \\
\lb D, T^m_A \rb \!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! m \, T^m_A \\
\end{array}
$$
The $m$ times the [[Killing form]] in the second term above is necessary to satisfy the [[Jacobi identity|Lie algebra]]. There is a $R+1$ dimensional [[Cartan subalgebra|Lie algebra structure]] spanned by the $T^0_a$ in the Cartan subalgebra of the ''level zero subalgebra'', $\mathfrak{g}$, and $C$ (and $D$ if it's Kac-Moody, in which case it's a $R+2$ dimensional Cartan subalgebra).
Another way of presenting this affine Lie (or affine KM) algebra is as
$$
{\mathfrak{g}}^+ = \mathfrak{g} \otimes {\mathbb C}[t,t^-] \oplus {\mathbb C} C \oplus {\mathbb C} t \fr{d}{dt}
$$
in which ${\mathbb C}[t,t^-]$ is the space of Laurent polynomials. The correspondence with the description above is via $T^m_A \sim T_A \otimes t^m$ and $D \sim t \fr{d}{dt}$.
This affine Lie or KM algebra can be expressed in a [[Cartan-Weyl-like basis|Lie algebra structure]], $\{ H^m_a, C, D, V^m_\al \}$, with Lie brackets
\begin{eqnarray}
\big[ H^m_a , H^{-m}_b \big] &=& m \, g_{ab} C \\
\big[ H^m_a , V^n_\al \big] &=& \al_a V^{m+n}_\al \\
\big[ V^m_\al , V^{-m}_{-\al} \big] &=& H^0_\al + m C \\
\big[ V^m_\al , V^n_\be \big] &=& N_{\al \be} \, V^{m+n}_{\al+\be} \\
\big[ D , H^m_a \big] &=& m H^m_a \\
\big[ D , V^m_\al \big] &=& m V^m_\al
\end{eqnarray}
The Cartan-subalgebra is spanned by $\{ H^0_a, C, D \}$ and the resulting [[root system]] is an infinite-in-both-directions tower of root systems of $\mathfrak{g}$, with each level corresponding to $m$. The simple ''affine root'' is $\al_0 = \de - \th$, in which $\th$ is usually the highest root of $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\de$ is a ''null root'', $<\! \de,\de \!>\, = 0$, [[dual|dual space]] to $C$ and orthogonal to all the $\mathfrak{g}$ roots, $<\! \de,\al_a \!>\, = 0$. (The ''real root''s have $<\!\! \al,\al \!\!>\, >0$, while the ''imaginary root''s, including the null roots, have $<\!\! \al,\al \!\!>\, \le 0$.) The other null roots, $n \de$, with $n \in {\mathbb Z} - \{ 0 \}$, have multiplicity $R$, while the remaining real roots have multiplicity $1$. All real roots are specified by $\al + n \de$, with $n \in {\mathbb Z} - \{ 0 \}$. For an affine Kac-Moody algebra, the determinate of its $R+1$ dimensional [[Cartan matrix|root system]] (the normalized metric in the root space spanned by $\al_0$ and the $\al_a$) is zero. This ''generalized Cartan matrix'' typically looks like
$$
\lb
\begin{array}{ccc}
A_{ab} & & 0 \\
& & -2 \\
0 & -2 & 2 \\
\end{array}
\rb
$$
which agrees with the Chevalley-Serre relations and the Cartan-Weyl-like basis above if
$$
H_a = H_a^0 \s E_a^\pm = V_{\pm\al_a}^0 \s H_0 = C - H_\th \s E_0^\pm = V^{\pm1}_{\mp\th}
$$
Since the Cartan subalgebra is $R+2$ dimensional, there is also an ''extendend Cartan matrix'', which typically looks like
$$
\lb
\begin{array}{cccc}
A_{ab} & & 0 & 0 \\
& & -2 & 0 \\
0 & -2 & 2 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
\end{array}
\rb
$$
and has nonvanishing determinate. This describes a $R+2$ dimensional ''extended Lorentzian root space'', spanned by the ''extended simple roots'' $\{ \al_a, \al_0, \De \}$, metric-dual to $\{ H_a, H_0 , D \}$, or spanned by $\{ \al_a, \de, \De \}$, metric-dual to $\{ H^0_a, C , D \}$. The affine root system is in a $N+1$ dimensional subspace, spanned by the $\al_a$ and $\al_0$ or $\de$. The null-root, $\de = \ha(\ch_+ + \ch_-)$, is an equal combination of orthogonal space-like and time-like basis vectors, $\ch_\pm$, in this extended Lorentzian root space (which is also spanned by $\{ \al_a, \ch_+, \ch_- \}$). The ''null extended root'' (which is not a root, much less a simple root) is then $\De = \ha(\ch_+ - \ch_-)$. For completeness and clarity, the table of metric-dualities and non-zero inner products between this cast of characters is typically
$$
\begin{array}{cc|cccccc}
(,\!) & * & H_{b} & H_\th & H_0 & D & C & H_+ & H_- \\
* & <,\!> & \al_{b} & \th & \al_0 & \De & \de & \ch_+ & \ch_- \\

To summarize, the finite lie algebra root system in $R$ dimensional root space is a subset of the affine root system tower in $R+1$ dimensions which is a subspace of $R+2$ dimensional extended Lorentzian root space, with a $2$ dimensional subspace, orthogonal to the original $R$ dimensional root space, that is spanned by complementary null vectors, $\de$ (a null-root in the affine root system) and $\De$, or by complementary space and time vectors, $\ch_+$ and $\ch_-$. Note that, unlike for a finite dimensional Lie algebra, which has a positive definite Cartan matrix, an affine algebra has a singular Cartan matrix, and the Cartan matrix of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra is generally indefinite, with compact generators, $(H,H) < 0$, sometimes having real eigenvalues.
An ''almost complex structure'', $\f{\ve{J}}$, on a [[manifold]] is a [[vector projection]] that satisfies,
$$
\f{\ve{J}} \f{\ve{J}} = - \f{\ve{I}}
$$
The product of an almost complex structure with vectors is equivalent to multiplication by $i=\sqrt{-1}$. The manifold is ''complex'', admitting a complex coordinatization, iff the [[FuN curvature]] of the almost complex structure vanishes,
$$
\lb \f{\ve{J}} , \f{\ve{J}} \rb_L = 0
$$
and $\f{\ve{J}}$ is then a [[complex structure]].

An ''antilinear involution'' on a [[Lie algebra]] is a map, $\om : \mathfrak{g} \to \mathfrak{g}$, such that
$$
\om(\om(A)) = A \;\;\;\; {\rm for} \;\; A \in \mathfrak{g}
$$
$$
\om(a A) = a^* \om(A) \;\;\;\; {\rm for} \;\; a \in \mathbb{C}
$$
$$
\om(\lb A, B \rb) = \lb \om(B), \om(A) \rb
$$
The ''antisymmetric bracket'' is an operation on a list of arbitrary [[Lie algebra]] generators or [[Clifford element]]s. The antisymmetric bracket of two elements,
\[ \lb A, B \rb_A = A \times B = \ha \lb A, B \rb = \ha \lp A B - B A \rp \]
equivalent to the ''cross product'', is equivalent to the [[commutator]] bracket with a multiplier of $\ha$. The antisymmetric bracket of three elements is
\[ \lb A, B, C \rb_A = \fr{1}{3!} \lp ABC + BCA + CAB - ACB - CBA - BAC \rp \]
and so on for more elements. An antisymmetric bracket changes sign under the exchange of any two neighboring elements.
The antisymmetric bracket does not commute [[coordinate basis 1-forms]] -- these must be taken out of the bracket first. For example, for the cross product of two [[Clifform]]s,
$$
\f{A} \ti \f{B} = \lb \f{A},\f{B} \rb_A = \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \lb A_i, B_j \rb_A
= \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \ha \lp A_i B_j - B_j A_i \rp = \ha \lp \f{A} \f{B} + \f{B} \f{A} \rp
$$
In general, for two $p$ and $k$ forms,
$$
\nf{A} \ti \nf{B} = \lb \nf{A}, \nf{B} \rb_A = \ha \lp \nf{A} \nf{B} - \lp -1 \rp^{pk} \nf{B} \nf{A} \rp
$$
The complex scalar product, using the [[Hermitian form]], of two complex vectors (in a [[unitary representation]] space) is anti-invariant under an ''antiunitary'' transformation,
$$
\langle \hat{U}' u | \hat{U}' v \rangle = \langle u | v \rangle ^* = \langle v | u \rangle
$$
A [[unitary]] operator combined with the [[complex conjugation|complex structure]] operation is an ''antiunitary operator'', $\hat{U}' = \hat{U} \hat{K}$. Alternatively, an operator, $\hat{U}'\!\!$, as a matrix, is antiunitary if its [[inverse]], $\hat{U}'^{-} = \hat{U}'^{T} = \hat{U}'^{ \da *}$, is its [[transpose]].
If a vector $v \in V$ is transformed by a Lie group element in an antiunitary representation to $v' = \hat{U}' v$, then linear operators, $\hat{A}$, on $V$ must transform as $\hat{A}' = \hat{U}' \hat{A} \, \hat{U}'{}^-$, such that
$$
\hat{A}' v' = \hat{U}' \hat{A} \, \hat{U}'^- \, \hat{U}' \, v = \hat{U}' \hat{A} \, v
$$
If $\hat{A}$ is multiplication by a complex number, $a \in \mathbb{C}$, then
$$
\hat{U}' \hat{A} \, v = \hat{U}' a \, v = a^* \hat{U}' v
$$
so we have $a' = \hat{U}' a \, \hat{U}'^- = a^*$, and specifically $i' = \hat{U}' i \, \hat{U}'^- = -i$.
Two [[fiber bundle]]s are ''associated'' if they have the same structure group and the same transition functions.
An ''automorphism'' is a structure preserving map from an object to itself.
If the object is a [[group]], with elements satisfying $g_1 g_2 = g_3$, then after a ''group automorphism'', $Aut:G \to G, g \mapsto g' = \ph(g)$, the new group elements must satisfy $g'_1 g'_2 = g'_3$ -- that's what's meant by "structure preserving". The group of all automorphisms of a group, $G$, is called the ''automorphism group'' of $G$, $Aut(G)$. The typical group automorphism is an ''inner automorphism'',
$$
g' = \ph_h(g) = A_h g = h g h^-
$$
with an element $h \in G$ acting on $G$ itself through conjugation (the [[adjoint action|group]]). These form the ''inner automorphism group'', $Inn(G)$. In some cases there may be group automorphisms that are not inner automorphisms. The automorphisms of $G$ which are not inner are called ''outer automorphism''s, and the [[coset]] is labeled $Out(G)=Aut(G)/Inn(G)$.
An ''automorphism bundle'' is a [[fiber bundle]] with a [[Lie group]], $G$, or algebra as the typical fiber and the [[automorphism]] group, $Aut(G)$, acting on $G$ as the structure group.
For most Lie groups the automorphism group is the same as the group itself, $Aut(G)=Inn(G)=G$, with all automorphisms represented by inner automorphisms, and the group action given by the [[adjoint action|group]] of $G$ on the $G$ fiber:
$$
g' = A_h g = h g h^-
$$
for any $h \in G$ in the structure group and $g \in G$ in the fiber. When not all automorphisms of $G$ are inner automorphisms things can get more interesting! But we will first handle the cases for when they are. Note that this bundle is different than a [[principal bundle]], for which the structure group action is the left action -- but there are many similar expressions.
For a section, $g(x)$, transforming under the adjoint action [[gauge transformation]], $g \mapsto g'=h g h^-$, the [[covariant derivative]] is
$$
\f{\na} g = \f{d} g + \f{A} g - g \f{A} = \f{d} g + \lb \f{A} , g \rb
$$
with the ''automorphism bundle [[connection]]'', $\f{A} = \f{dx^i} A_i{}^B T_B$, a 1-form over M valued in the [[Lie algebra]] of $G$.
Any fiber element, $g$, at $t=0$ may be [[parallel transport]]ed to $g(t)=h(t)gh^-$ along a path on the base by a parameter dependent element, $h \in G$, the path holonomy, $h(t) = Pe^{-\int_0^t \f{A}}$, satisfying the [[path holonomy]] equation,
$$
\fr{d}{dt} h(t) = - \ve{v} \f{A} h
$$
Applying the covariant derivative twice (being careful with the signs of 1-forms hopping sides),
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na} \f{\na} g &=& \f{d} \lp \f{d} g + \f{A} g - g \f{A} \rp + \f{A} \lp \f{d} g + \f{A} g - g \f{A} \rp + \lp \f{d} g + \f{A} g - g \f{A} \rp \f{A} \\
&=& \lp \f{d} \f{A} \rp g - \f{A} \f{d} g - \lp \f{d} g \rp \f{A} - g \f{d} \f{A}
+ \f{A} \lp \f{d} g + \f{A} g - g \f{A} \rp + \lp \f{d} g + \f{A} g - g \f{A} \rp \f{A} \\
&=& \lb \ff{F} , g \rb
\end{eqnarray}
gives the ''automorphism bundle [[curvature]]'',
$$
\ff{F} = \f{d} \f{A} + \f{A} \f{A}
$$
a Lie algebra valued 2-form. This expression for the curvature may alternatively be obtained from the [[holonomy]].
Under a gauge transformation, $g(x) \mapsto g'(x) = h(x) g(x) h^-(x)$, the covariant derivative changes to
\begin{eqnarray}
\f{\na'} g' &=& h \lp \f{\na} g \rp h^-\\
\f{d} \lp h g h^- \rp + \f{A'} h g h^- - h g h^- \f{A'} &=& h \lp \f{d} g \rp h^- + h \f{A} g h^- - h g \f{A} h^-
\end{eqnarray}
giving the transformation law for the connection,
$$
\f{A'} = h \f{A} h^- - \lp \f{d} h \rp h^- = h \f{A} h^- + h \lp \f{d} h^- \rp
$$
An infinitesimal transformation, $h \simeq 1 + H$, changes the connection to
$$
\f{A'} \simeq \f{A} - \f{d} H - \f{A} H + H \f{A} = \f{A} - \f{\na} H
$$
The curvature consequently transforms under a gauge transformation to
$$
\ff{F'} = \f{d} \f{A'} + \f{A'} \f{A'} = h \ff{F} h^- \simeq \ff{F} + \lb H , \ff{F} \rb
$$
The covariant derivative acting on a Lie algebra valued [[differential form]] such as the curvature, transforming under the adjoint action, $\ff{F'} = h \ff{F} h^-$, is still
$$
\f{\na} \ff{F} = \f{d} \ff{F} + \lb \f{A} , \ff{F} \rb
$$
It is worth repeating that when the automorphism group for $G$ includes automorphisms that are not inner, things are going to get more complicated...
//I'm starting to think that constructing this bundle just doesn't work. For one thing, I don't think I can make an [[Ehresmann connection]] for it since I haven't been able to build automorphism invariant vector fields. For another thing, automorphisms leave the identity point in the same place -- and singling out a point in the fiber like that would be an odd thing to do. I'll shelve the idea for now.//

A ''bi-split-quaternion'', $q = q^a e'_a \in \mathbb{C} \otimes \mathbb{H}'$, is a [[complex|complex structure]] [[split-quaternion]], with $q^a = q^a_\mathbb{R} + i \, q^a_\mathbb{I}$. It is the analog of the [[biquaternion]]s for split-quaternions. This [[derision algebra|division algebra]] is represented by complex $2 \times 2$ matrices, $\mathbb{C}(2)$, with the split-quaternion basis elements expressed as real matrices, using generalized [[Pauli matrices]] and [[skew]], as
$$
e'_0 = \si_0 \;\;\;\;\; e'_1 = \si_1 \;\;\;\;\; e'_2 = - i \, \si_2 = \ep \;\;\;\;\; e'_3 = \si_3
$$
There are three conjugations: complex, $q^* = q^{a *} e'_a$, quaternionic, $\tilde{q} = q^{a} \tilde{e}{}'_a$, and [[Hermitian]], $q^\da = q^{a *} e'_a{}^\da$, which can be combined and commute. Note that since the basis elements are represented by real matrices, complex conjugation works for matrix representatives, $q^* = q^{a *} e'_a = q^{a *} e'^*_a$, and Hermitian conjugation of the basis elements is the [[transpose]], $e'_a{}^\da = e'_a{}^T$. Explicitly, the representation and a bunch of conjugations are
\begin{eqnarray}
q &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 + i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
+ q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 + i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
-i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 + q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
+ q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 + i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
\os{q} &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 + i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
- q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 - i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
+i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 - q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
- q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 - i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
q^* &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 - i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
+ q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 - i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
-i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 - q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
+ q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 - i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
q^\da &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 - i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
+ q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 - i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
+i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 + q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
+ q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 - i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
\os{q}^* &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 - i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
- q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 + i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
+i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 + q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
- q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 + i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
-\ep q^* \ep = \os{q}^\da &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 - i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
- q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 + i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
-i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 - q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
- q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 + i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
-\ep \os{q} \ep = q^T = q^{*\da} &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 + i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
+ q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 + i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
+i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 - q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
+ q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 + i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
-\ep q \ep = \os{q}^{*\da} &=& q_\mathbb{R}^0 \si_0 + i q_\mathbb{I}^0 \si_0
- q_\mathbb{R}^1 \si_1 - i q_\mathbb{I}^1 \si_1
-i q_\mathbb{R}^2 \si_2 + q_\mathbb{I}^2 \si_2
- q_\mathbb{R}^3 \si_3 - i q_\mathbb{I}^3 \si_3 \\
\end{eqnarray}
The split-quaternions are the real linear subspace of the bi-split-quaternions, $q^a \in \mathbb{R}$, so satisfying $q^* = q$, corresponding to a flat split-Euclidean spacetime. Another four dimensional linear ''[[Hermitian]] subspace'', $v_M^\da=v_M$, corresponds to positions or vectors in a Minkowski spacetime [[rest frame]],
$$
v_M = v_M^\mu \si_\mu = v^0_{M\mathbb{R}} e_0 + v^1_{M\mathbb{R}} e'_1 + v^2_{M\mathbb{I}} i e'_2 + v^3_{M\mathbb{R}} e'_3 \in M
$$
This is a [[right chiral vector|Dirac matrices]], $v_M=v_R$, in [[Cl(1,3)]]. Its quaternionic conjugate is
$$
\os{v}_M = v_M^0 \si_0 - v_M^\va \si_\va = v_M^\mu \bar{\si}_\mu = v_L
$$
The conventional semi-norm on the bi-split-quaternions is
$$
|v|^2 = \os{v} v = v^0 v^0 - v^1 v^1 + v^2 v^2 - v^3 v^3 \; \in \; \mathbb{C}
$$
but this is complex, and treats the complex and split-quaternionic parts unequally. An alternative norm, of signature $(4,4)$, is
$$
||v||^2 = \os{v}^* v = v^{0*} v^0 - v^{1*} v^1 + v^{2*} v^2 - v^{3*} v^3 \; \in \; \mathbb{R}
$$
The conventional norm on the Hermitian subspace is
$$
|v|^2 = \os{v} v = (v^0_\mathbb{R})^2 - (v^1_\mathbb{I})^2 - (v^2_\mathbb{R})^2 - (v^3_\mathbb{R})^2 \; \in \; \mathbb{R}
$$
A [[Lorentz rotation]], as a [[Clifford rotation]], is carried out by any ''unit bi-split-quaternion'', $\os{g} g = 1$, as
$$
v \to v' = g \, v \os{g}
$$
preserving its conventional norm
$$
\os{v}' v' = \widetilde{(g \, v \os{g})} (g \, v \os{g}) = g \, \os{v} \os{g} g \, v \os{g} = \os{v} v
$$
If we identify $v=v_R$ as a right chiral vector, we can identify $\os{g} = U_R^\da$ as the Hermitian conjugate of a [[right chiral rotor|chiral Clifford rotation]], in agreement with the vector's [[chiral Clifford rotation]].
A ''biquaternion'', $q = q^a e_a \in \mathbb{C} \otimes \mathbb{H}$, is a [[complex|complex number]] [[quaternion]], with $q^a = q^a_\mathbb{R} + i \, q^a_\mathbb{I}$. This eight dimensional [[division algebra]] is represented by and isomorphic to complex 2x2 matrices, $\mathbb{C}(2)$. There are two conjugations, complex, $q^* = q^{a *} e_a$, and quaternionic, $\tilde{q} = q^{a} \tilde{e}_a$, which combine to give a conjugation equivalent to [[Hermitian]] conjugation of the representative matrix, $q^\da = \tilde{q}^* = q^{a *} \tilde{e}_a = q^{a *} e^\da_a$. Note that although the $\da$ conjugation here does correspond to Hermitian conjugation of a representative matrix, $*$ is not complex conjugation of the matrix but of the complex coefficients in the biquaternion. Quaternionic conjugation can also be done by the [[2D matrix conjugate|determinant]], $\tilde{q} = - \ep \, q^T \, \ep$. The biquaternion basis multiplication table is
| $e_0$ | $ie_0$ | $e_1$ | $ie_1$ | $e_2$ | $ie_2$ | $e_3$ | $ie_3$ |
| $ie_0$ | $-e_0$ | $ie_1$ | $-e_1$ | $ie_2$ | $-e_2$ | $ie_3$ | $-e_3$ |
| $e_1$ | $ie_1$ | $-e_0$ | $-ie_0$ | $e_3$ | $ie_3$ | $-e_2$ | $-ie_2$ |
| $ie_1$ | $-e_1$ | $-ie_0$ | $e_0$ | $ie_3$ | $-e_3$ | $-ie_2$ | $e_2$ |
| $e_2$ | $ie_2$ | $-e_3$ | $-ie_3$ | $-e_0$ | $-ie_0$ | $e_1$ | $ie_1$ |
| $ie_2$ | $-e_2$ | $-ie_3$ | $e_3$ | $-ie_0$ | $e_0$ | $ie_1$ | $-e_1$ |
| $e_3$ | $ie_3$ | $e_2$ | $ie_2$ | $-e_1$ | $-ie_1$ | $-e_0$ | $-ie_0$ |
| $ie_3$ | $-e_3$ | $ie_2$ | $-e_2$ | $-ie_1$ | $e_1$ | $-ie_0$ | $e_0$ |
The quaternions are the real linear subspace of the biquaternions, $q^a \in \mathbb{R}$, so satisfying $q^* = q$, corresponding to a flat Euclidean spacetime, with positive definite norm. Another four dimensional linear subspace, the ''hyperbolic quaternions'', corresponding to positions or vectors in a Minkowski spacetime [[rest frame]], is
$$
v_M = v_M^\mu \si_\mu = v^0_{M\mathbb{R}} e_0 + v^1_{M\mathbb{I}} i e_1 + v^2_{M\mathbb{I}} i e_2 + v^3_{M\mathbb{I}} i e_3 \in M
$$
Note that, via their representative matrices, this is a [[right chiral vector|Dirac matrices]], $v_M=v_R$, in [[Cl(1,3)]]. Its conjugates are
$$
v_M^* = \os{v}_M = v_M^0 \si_0 - v_M^\va \si_\va = v_M^\mu \bar{\si}_\mu = v_L
$$
so $M$ is the ''Hermitian subspace'' of the biquaternions, $v_M^\da = v_M$.
The conventional semi-norm on the biquaternions is the same as for quaternions,
$$
|v|^2 = \os{v} v = v^0 v^0 + v^1 v^1 + v^2 v^2 + v^3 v^3 \; \in \; \mathbb{C}
$$
but is complex, as is the induced [[metric]], $(u,v) = \ha \lp \os{u} v + \os{v} u \rp$. This implies a real semi-norm on the hyperbolic quaternions,
$$
|v_M|^2 = \os{v}_M v_M = v^0_{M\mathbb{R}} v^0_{M\mathbb{R}} - v^1_{M\mathbb{I}} v^1_{M\mathbb{I}} - v^2_{M\mathbb{I}} v^2_{M\mathbb{I}} - v^3_{M\mathbb{I}} v^3_{M\mathbb{I}} = {\rm Det}(v_M) \; \in \; \mathbb{R}
$$
related to the [[determinant]]. An alternative positive definite real norm on the biquaternions is
$$
||v||^2 = v^\da v = v^{0*} v^0 + v^{1*} v^1 + v^{2*} v^2 + v^{3*} v^3 \; \in \; \mathbb{R}_+
$$
This second norm treats the complex and quaternionic parts of the biquaternion equally, but we loose the nice relationship between the norm and the determinant.
A [[Lorentz rotation]], as a [[Clifford rotation]], is carried out by any ''unit biquaternion'', $\os{g} g = 1$, as
$$
v \to v' = \os{g} v g^*
$$
preserving its conventional norm
$$
\os{v}' v' = \widetilde{(\os{g} v g^*)} (\os{g} v g^*) = \os{g}^* \os{v} g \os{g} v g^* = \os{v} v
$$
If we identify $v=v_R$ as a right chiral vector, we can identify $g^* = U_R^\da$ as the Hermitian conjugate of a [[right chiral rotor|chiral Clifford rotation]], and $\os{g} = g^{* \da} = U_R$, in agreement with the vector's [[chiral Clifford rotation]].
The biquaternion multiplication table can't be used to build $Cl(8)$, but a $3 \times 3$ matrix of biquaternions is [[su(6)]].
A [[Dirac spinor]] describes both a fermion and an anti-fermion, via positive and negative energy [[Dirac solutions]]. This suggests a re-arrangement of degrees of freedom, using the [[charge conjugate]], to
$$
\Ps = \lb \ba{c} \Ps_1 \\ \Ps_2 \\ \Ps_3 \\ \Ps_4 \ea \rb \s
\Ps^C = i \ga_2 \Ps^* = \lb \ba{c} -\Ps_4^* \\ \Ps_3^* \\ \Ps_2^* \\ -\Ps_1^* \ea \rb \s
\Ps_Q = \lb \ba{cc} \Ps_1 & -\Ps_4^* \\ \Ps_2 & \Ps_3^* \\ \Ps_3 & \Ps_2^* \\ \Ps_4 & -\Ps_1^* \ea \rb
\sim \lb \ba{c} \ps_{\mathbb{H}L} \\ \ps_{\mathbb{H}R} \ea \rb
$$
in which the Dirac spinor degrees of freedom can inhabit either the left or right chiral Dirac [[biquaternion]]s, $\ps_{\mathbb{H}L}$ or $\ps_{\mathbb{H}R}$. Here we make use of the representation of [[quaternion]]s, $e_\mu \in \mathbb{H}$, using [[Pauli matrices]], $\{e_0 \!\sim\! \si_0, \, e_\pi \!\sim\! - i \si_\pi \}$, and the definition of biquaternions as quaternions with complex coefficients.
$$
\ps_{\mathbb{H}L} = \ps^\mu_{\mathbb{H}L} e_\mu
\sim \ps_{QL} =
\lb \ba{cc}
\Ps_1^\mathbb{R} + i \Ps_1^\mathbb{I} & - \Ps_4^\mathbb{R} + i \Ps_4^\mathbb{I} \\

\ps_{\mathbb{H}L} \in \mathbb{C} \otimes \mathbb{H}
\s
\ps_{\mathbb{H}R} \sim \ps_{QR} = i \si_2 \ps_{QL}^* \si_1
$$
$$
\ba{rcl}
\ps_{\mathbb{H}L} &=& \ha \lp \Ps_1^\mathbb{R} + \Ps_3^\mathbb{R} - i \Ps_1^\mathbb{I} + i \Ps_3^\mathbb{I} \rp e_0

\ea
$$
Describing the biquaternions and their representation requires juggling several conjugations. Since the Pauli matrices satisfy $\si_\mu^* = \si_2 \bar{\si}_\mu \si_2$, we can define a similar conjugation for biquaternions, $\ps_{QL}^* \sim - e_2 \ps_{\mathbb{H}L}^* e_2$; and since the Pauli matrices are Hermitian, we also have $\ps_{QL}^\da \sim \tilde{\ps}{}_{\mathbb{H}L}^*$. The invariant bilinear form on the biquaternions directly relates to the scalar Dirac spinor bilinear product,
$$
\ba{rcl}
( \ps_{\mathbb{H}L},\ps_{\mathbb{H}L} ) &=& \lp \Ps_1^\mathbb{R} \Ps_3^\mathbb{R} + \Ps_2^\mathbb{R} \Ps_4^\mathbb{R} +\Ps_1^\mathbb{I} \Ps_3^\mathbb{I} + \Ps_2^\mathbb{I} \Ps_4^\mathbb{I} \rp

The action of [[spin(1,3)]] Lorentz generators (rotations and boosts) on biquaternionic spinors is
$$
J_\pi \ps = \lp - \fr{i}{2} \si_0 \otimes \si_\pi \rp \ps \;\; \sim \;\; J_\pi \ps_\mathbb{H} = \fr{1}{2} e_\pi \ps_\mathbb{H} \s \s

$$
showing $Spin^+(1,3) = SL(2,\mathbb{C}) = \mathbb{C} \otimes \mathbb{H}^\mathbb{I}$.
We can also calculate [[CPT symmetry]] conjugations for biquaternionic fermions,
$$

in which the antiunitary time conjugation operator, $T$, is introduced, instead of $T_U$, to correctly reproduce the $CPT$ Group action on fermions. Two other relations are $\ps_{\mathbb{H}R} = -i \ps_{\mathbb{H}L}^P$ and $\ps_{\mathbb{H}L}^{CPT'} = -i \ps_{\mathbb{H}L}$.
As a nice warm up, before tackling the standard model, it's instructive to see how the [[SU(3)]] [[Lie group geometry]] might go wobbly and become a [[Cartan geometry]]. It has a U(2) [[subgroup]], constructed from the [[simple]] [[SU(2)]] and U(1) Lie groups. The [[homogeneous space]], [[CP2]], is
$$
CP2 = \fr{SU(3)}{U(2)} = \fr{SU(3)}{SU(2) \times U(1)}
$$
The ''center'', $Z(G) \triangleleft G$, of a [[group]], $G$, is an abelian [[normal subgroup]] consisting of all elements of $G$ that commute with all other elements,
$$
Z(G) = \lc z \in G \; | \; gz = zg \; \forall \, g \in G \rc
$$
A ''central element'', $C$, is a [[Lie algebra]] element that commutes with all others -- it is in the Lie algebra's ''center''. The nonzero Lie brackets will be
$$
\lb T_A, T_B \rb = C_{AB}{}^C T_C + \ep(T_A,T_B) C
$$
with $\ep(T_A,T_B)=-\ep(T_B,T_A)$ a ''2-cocycle'', satisfying the Jacobi-ish identity,
$$
\ep(T_A, [T_B, T_C]) = \ep([T_A, T_B], T_C) - \ep( [T_A, T_C], T_B)
$$
For example, for an [[affine Lie algebra]] the 2-cocycle is $\, \ep(T^m_A, T^n_B) = m \, g_{AB} \de^{m+n,0}$.
The ''centralizer'', $C_G(a) \subset G$, of an element $a$ of a [[group]], $G$, is a [[subgroup]] consisting of all elements, $c \in G$, that commute with $a$,
$$
C_G(a) = \lc c \in G \; | \; ca = ac \rc
$$
The centralizer is the largest subgroup of $G$ having $a$ in its [[center]], $a \in Z(C_G(a))$. The centralizer of a subset, $S$, in $G$ is the subgroup consisting of all elements commuting with the elements of $S$,
$$
C_G(S) = \lc c \in G \; | \; cs = sc \; \forall s \in S \rc
$$
The centralizer of $G$ in $G$ is the center, $C_G(G) = Z(G)$. The centralizer of a subset in a subgroup, $H \subset G$, is
$$
C_H(S) = \lc c \in H \; | \; cs = sc \; \forall s \in S \rc
$$

***good brief intro
The ''charge conjugate'' of a [[Dirac spinor]] field, $\Ps$, using the Weyl representation of the [[Dirac matrices]], results from the action of an [[antiunitary]] operator,
$$
\Ps^C = i \ga_2 \Ps^* =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & -i \si_2 \\
i \si_2 & 0
\end{array} \rb
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps^*_L \\
\ps^*_R
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
-i \si_2 \ps^*_R \\
i \si_2 \ps^*_L
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
(\ps_R)^C \\
(\ps_L)^C
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\bar{\ps}_L \\
\bar{\ps}_R
\end{array} \rb
$$
in which we define the ''[[Weyl spinor]] conjugates'',
$$
\bar{\ps}_R = (\ps_L)^C = i \si_2 \ps_L^* = - \ep \, \ps_L^* \;\;\; \text{ and } \;\;\; \bar{\ps}_L = (\ps_R)^C = - i \si_2 \ps_R^* = \ep \, \ps_R^*
$$
using the spinor [[skew]] and the [[complex conjugate|complex structure]] of [[flipped spin]]ors. Note that charge conjugation flips [[chiral]]ity and squares to the identity, $C^2=1$. The [[Dirac equation]] with a charge conjugate [[gauge field|principal bundle]], $\f{A} = \f{A}^B T_B \to \f{A}^C = \f{A}^B T_B^*$, is satisfied by the charge conjugate spinor,
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
\lp i \ga^\mu (\pa_\mu + A_\mu^C ) - m \rp \Ps^C
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \lp i \ga^\mu ( \pa_\mu + A_\mu^* ) - m \rp i \ga_2 \Ps^* \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! i \ga_2 \lp - i \ga^{ \mu *} ( \pa_\mu + A_\mu^* ) - m \rp \Ps^* \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! i \ga_2 \lp \lp i \ga^\mu (\pa_\mu + A_\mu) - m \rp \Ps \rp^* = 0
\end{array}
$$
using $\ga_\mu \ga_2 = - \ga_2 \ga_\mu^*$. Note that if there is a chiral coupling between gauge field and spinor, such as in the weak interaction, $W_\mu P_L \Ps$, this will not be invariant under charge conjugation since $\ga_2 W^*_\mu P_L \Ps^* = W^*_\mu P_R \ga_2 \Ps^*$, in which $P_{L/R}$ is the [[left/right chirality projector]].
Charge conjugation of a [[quantum Dirac spinor]] results from the action of a corresponding [[unitary]] operator in the [[infinite-dimensional unitary representation]],
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
\ud{\hat{\Ps}}^C = \hat{\cal{C}} \ud{\hat{\Ps}} \hat{\cal{C}}^-
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \int{\fr{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3 (2E)}} \lp ( \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee})^C {u}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu} + (\ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da})^C {v}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu} \rp \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! i \ga_2 \int{\fr{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3 (2E)}} \lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} {u}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu} + \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} {v}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu} \rp^* \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \int{\fr{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3 (2E)}} \lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} (i\ga_2 {u}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, *}) e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu} + \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} (i\ga_2 {v}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, *}) e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu} \rp \\
\!\!&\!\!=\!\!&\!\! \int{\fr{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3 (2E)}} \lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} {v}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{+i p_\mu x^\mu} + \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} {u}_p^{\wedge/\vee} e^{-i p_\mu x^\mu} \rp
\end{array}
$$
using [[Dirac solution identities]], $i \ga_2 \, u_p^{\wedge/\vee \, *} = v_p^{\wedge/\vee}$ and $i \ga_2 \, v_p^{\wedge/\vee \, *} = u_p^{\wedge/\vee}$. The resulting charge conjugation transformation of the [[creation and annihilation operators]] is thus
$$
\lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^C = \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \s\; \lp \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da} \rp^C = \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee \, \da}
$$
A fermionic Dirac spinor creation operator of some [[momentum]] and spin is used to describe a one-particle state in [[Fock space]]. So, for example, the charge conjugate of a positron with spin up and momentum $p$,
$$
| \bar{e}^{\wedge}_p \!\!> \; = \, \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge \da} |0\!\!>
$$
is an electron with spin up and momentum $p$,
$$
| e^{\wedge}_p \!\!> \; = \, \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge \da} |0\!\!>
$$
For massless particles, represented by a [[massless quantum Dirac spinor]], the charge conjugate of a left-handed fermion is a left-handed anti-fermion field.
For a [[quantum Majorana spinor]], satisfying $\ud{\hat{\Ps}}^C = \ud{\hat{\Ps}}$, we must have
$$
\ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} = \lp \ud{\hat{a}}_p^{\wedge/\vee} \rp^C = \ud{\hat{b}}_p^{\wedge/\vee}
$$
A [[Clifford matrix representation]] is ''chiral'' if all [[Clifford basis vectors]] are represented by matrices non-zero only in the second and third quadrant blocks. This is the case iff the first [[Pauli matrix|Pauli matrices]] in the [[Kronecker product]] expression of each vector is either $\si_1$ or $\si_2$,
$$
\ga_\al = \si_{1 \, {\rm or} \, 2} \otimes \dots = \lb \ba{cc} & \ga{}^-_\al \\ \ga{}^+_\al & \ea \rb
$$
A representation may be said to be chiral if this holds for the first Pauli matrices in the product, or it may be chiral for the level where the [[spin connection]] lives -- to be concrete, a rep should be called ''n'th level chiral'' if the n'th Kronecker product matrices are all $\si^P_1$ or $\si^P_2$. In a (1st level) chiral representation, all odd [[Clifford grade]] elements are represented by matrices non-zero only in the second and third quadrants, while all even elements are represented by matrices only non-zero in the first and fourth quadrant,
$$
A =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
A^{e-} & A^{o-} \\
A^{o+} & A^{e+}
\end {array} \rb
\in Cl
$$
A ''chiral spinor'' is half of a [[spinor]]. Expressed in a chiral rep, it can be ''negative chiral'',
$$
\Psi^- =
\lb \begin{array}{c}
\ps^- \\
0
\end {array} \rb
= \Ps^{-a} Q^-_a = \Ps^{a} Q_a
\;\; \in S^-
$$
or ''positive chiral'',
$$
\Psi^+ =
\lb \begin{array}{c}
0 \\
\ps^+
\end {array} \rb
= \Ps^{+b} Q^+_b = \Ps^{\od{b}} Q_\od{b}
\;\; \in S^+
$$
showing the use of ''dotted indices'' or undotted indices, denoting positive or negative chiral spinor indices, which we mostly avoid in favor of using $+$ or $-$ to denote different chiralities. A full spinor may be built by adding two chiral spinors, $\Psi = \Psi^- + \Psi^+$, such as to make a [[Dirac spinor]]. A spinor may also be broken up into n'th level chiral pieces.
The ''chirality projector'', $P_\mp$, is one of a pair of Clifford elements that operate on the suitable level to project out the desired chiral degrees of freedom,
$$
\begin{array}{cc}
P_- =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 0
\end {array} \rb &
P_+ =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & 0 \\
0 & 1
\end {array} \rb &
\end{array}
$$
It is often built using the [[pseudoscalar]].
As a representation space of a spin algebra, the weight vectors (eigenvectors with respect to a Cartan subalgebra) have an even number of positive weights for a positive chiral spinor and an odd number of positive weights for a negative chiral spinor, or vice versa.
In an abuse of language, a ''chiral'' spinor representation space is sometimes alternatively used to mean a complex [[representation space]], as opposed to a real or quaternionic (pseudo-real) one.
Using the Weyl representation of the [[Cl(1,3)]] [[Dirac matrices]], a [[spacetime rotor|Clifford rotation]],
$$
U = \lb \begin{array}{cc}
U_L & 0 \\
0 & U_R
\end{array} \rb
$$
breaks into ''left and right chiral rotor''s, $U^{L/R}$, which are the product of left and right chiral rotation and boost rotors corresponding to a [[spatial rotation]] and [[Lorentz boost]],
$$
U_{L/R} = U_a^{L/R} U_\nu^{L/R} = (\cos{\fr{\th}{2}} + i n^\pi \si_\pi \sin{\fr{\th}{2}})(\cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \mp n'^\rh \si_\rh \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}}) = U_{L/R}^\mu \si_\mu
$$
in which $U_{L/R}^\mu \in \mathbb{C}$ are ''chiral rotor coefficients''. Since $U_a^{L/R}$ are identical and [[unitary]], and $U_\nu^{L/R}$ are inverses and [[Hermitian]], the left and right chiral rotor's inverses are each others' Hermitian conjugates,
$$
U_{L/R}^\da = U_\nu^{L/R \, \da} U_a^{L/R \, \da} = U_\nu^{L/R} U_a^{L/R \, -}
= U_\nu^{R/L \, -} U_a^{R/L \, -} = U_{R/L}^-
$$
For a [[Clifford rotation]] of a vector,
$$
v \to v' = U v U^- =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
U_L & 0 \\
0 & U_R
\end{array} \rb
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v_L \\
v_R & 0
\end{array} \rb
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
U^-_L & 0 \\
0 & U^-_R
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & v'_R \\
v'_L & 0
\end{array} \rb
$$
the [[left and right chiral vector|Dirac matrices]]s rotate as
$$
v_{L/R} \to v'_{L/R} = U_{L/R} v_{L/R} U^\da_{L/R}
$$
and [[Weyl spinor]]s rotate as $\ps_{L/R} \to \ps'_{L/R} = U_{L/R} \ps_{L/R}$.
A [[differential form]] [[field|cotangent bundle]], $\nf{f}(x)$, over a [[manifold]], $M$, is ''closed'' iff its [[exterior derivative]] vanishes,
$$
\f{d} \nf{f} = 0
$$
The [[vector space]] of closed $p$-forms over $M$ is labeled $C^p$.
The ''codifferential'' is the ''adjoint exterior derivative''. Operating on a [[differential form]] of grade $p$, it is defined, using the [[exterior derivative]] and [[Hodge dual]] operators, as
$$
\ve{\de} = (-1)^p *^- \f{d} \, *
$$
and decreases the grade of the form by 1. The codifferential is defined to satisfy
$$
<\!\!<\! \f{d} \nf{a},\nf{b} \!>\!\!> \, = \, <\!\!<\! \nf{a},\ve{\de} \nf{b} \!>\!\!>
$$
for the interior product of the exterior derivative of a p-form, $\nf{a}$, and a (p+1)-form, $\nf{b}$, with the interior product of two p-forms defined as
$$
<\!\!<\! \nf{a},\nf{b} \!>\!\!> \, = \, \int \nf{a} * \nf{b}
$$
On manifolds with vanishing [[torsion]] the codifferential is equivalent (//check this//) to the ''covariant vector derivative'', $\ve{\na} = g^{ij} \ve{\pa_i} \na_j = \ve{e}^\al \na_\al$, when applied to a p-form using the [[tangent bundle covariant derivative|tangent bundle connection]] and [[vector-form algebra]]. Working through examples... for 1-forms,
$$
\ve{\na} \f{A} = \ve{e}^\al \na_\al ( \f{e}^\be A_\be )
= \ve{e}^\al ( \f{e}^\be \pa_\al A_\be + w_{\al\ga}{}^{\be} \f{e}^\ga A_\be )
= \pa^\al A_\al + w_{\al}{}^{\al\be} A_\be
= \mathrm{div}(\f{A})
$$
in which we see the [[divergence]], and for 2-forms,
\begin{eqnarray}
\ve{\na} \ff{F} &=& \ve{e}^\al \na_\al ( \ha \f{e}^\be \f{e}^\ga F_{\be\ga})
= \ve{e}^\al ( \ha \f{e}^\be \f{e}^\ga \pa_\al F_{\be\ga} + \ha w_{\al\de}{}^\be \f{e}^\de \f{e}^\ga F_{\be\ga} + \ha \f{e}^\be w_{\al\de}{}^\ga \f{e}^\de F_{\be\ga} ) \\
&=& \f{e}^\al ( \pa^\be F_{\be\al} + w_{\ga}{}^{\ga\be} F_{\be\al} + w^\be{}_\al{}^\ga F_{\be\ga} )
\end{eqnarray}

The $p$-th (de Rham) ''cohomology'' of a [[manifold]], $M$, is the [[vector space]],
$$
H^p(M) = C^p / E^p
$$
equal to the [[coset]] of all [[closed]] $p$-forms over $M$ that are not [[exact]]. An element of the cohomology is specified by a closed coset representative, $[\nf{f^C}] \in H^p(M)$, with $\nf{f^C} \in C^p$.
The ''commutator bracket'' (or simply //''commutator''//) of any two arbitrary [[Lie algebra]] generators, [[Clifford element]]s, or operators is another generator, element, or operator equal to
$$
\lb A, B \rb = A B - B A
$$
employing the appropriate product or operator composition. It relates to the [[antisymmetric bracket]] (and cross product) by a factor of $\ha$,
$$
A \times B = \lb A, B \rb_A = \ha \lb A, B \rb = \ha \lp A B - B A \rp
$$
The commutator (called more precisely the ''graded commutator'') does not commute [[coordinate basis 1-forms]] -- these must be taken out of the bracket first. For example, for the commutator of two grade 1 [[Lieform]]s or [[Clifform]]s,
$$
\lb \f{A},\f{B} \rb = \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \lb A_i, B_j \rb
= \f{dx^i} \f{dx^j} \lp A_i B_j - B_j A_i \rp = \f{A} \f{B} + \f{B} \f{A}
$$
So, in general, for two $p$ and $k$ forms,
$$
\lb \nf{A}, \nf{B} \rb = \nf{A} \nf{B} - \lp -1 \rp^{pk} \nf{B} \nf{A}
$$
and [[tangent vector]]s are considered $k$ forms with $k=-1$.
The ''complex numbers'', $\mathbb{C}$, are a two-dimensional [[division algebra]], spanned by two basis elements, $e_0$ and $e_1$. The complex identity element (spanning the ''real part'') is $e_0=1$, and the other, $e_1 = i = \sqrt{-1}$, (spanning the ''imaginary part'') is an ''imaginary'' direction. So a complex number, $z = a + i \, b \in \mathbb{C}$, has a ''real component'', $a \in \mathbb{R}$ (equal to its real part, $\text{Re}(z) = z_{\mathbb{R}} = a$), and an ''imaginary component'', $b = z_{\mathbb{I}} \in \mathbb{R}$ (the imaginary part being $\text{Im}(z) = i \, b$). Complex multiplication is commutative and associative. The multiplication table for the basis elements is
| | $1$ | $i$ |
| $1$ | $1$ | $i$ |
| $i$ | $i$ | $-1$ |
which can be written using a ''complex multiplication coefficient matrix'' as $e_a e_b = M_{ab}{}^c e_c$, so, for example, $e_1 e_1 = -e_0$ and $M_{11}{}^0 = -1$. ''Complex conjugation'' can be written synonymously as
$$
K e_0 = e^*_0 = \os{e}_0 = \bar{e}_0 = e_{\os{0}} = e_0 = 1 \;\;\;\;\; \;\;\;\;\; K e_1 = e^*_1 = \os{e}_1 = \bar{e}_1 = e_{\os{1}} = - e_1 = - i
$$
using the ''conjugation operator'', $K$, and satisfies $(z_1 z_2)^* = z_2^* z_1^* = z_1^* z_2^*$, so we have $M_{ab}{}^c = M_{\os{b} \os{a}}{}^{\os{c}}$.
Multiplying a complex number, $z = a + i \, b$, by its conjugate, $z^* = a - i \, b$, gives its norm,
$$
|z|^2 = z^* z = z^a z^b \os{e}_a e_b = a^2 + b^2 \; \in \; \mathbb{R}
$$
allowing us to calculate the inverse of any nonzero complex number, $z^- = \frac{z^*}{|z|^2}$. The [[metric]] on the complex numbers is then
$$
(e_a, e_b) = \ha ( \os{e}_a e_b + \os{e}_b e_a ) = n_{ab} = \de_{ab}
\s \s
(z_1,z_2) = \ha \lp z^*_1 z_2 + z^*_2 z_1 \rp = a_1 a_2 + b_1 b_2
$$
The complex multiplication table (and metric $n_{dc} = \de_{dc}$) can be used to define
$$
\Ga_{cab} = M_{\os{a} \os{b} c} = M_{\os{a}\os{b}}{}^d n_{dc} \s \text{and so} \s \Ga_{000} = 1 \s \Ga_{011} = \Ga_{110} = \Ga_{101} = -1
$$
Further defining $\overline{\Ga}_{cab} = \Ga_{cba}$ (so $\overline{\Ga}_{c} = \Ga_{c}^T$ in terms of a matrix [[transpose]]), these can be used to construct a $4 \times 4$ real [[chiral]] [[Clifford matrix representation]] of $Cl(2)$, the ''cyclic complex representation'', with the Clifford basis vectors represented as [[Hermitian]] matrices (symmetric matrices since they're real),
$$
\ga'_c =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & \overline{\Ga}_c \\
\Ga_c & 0
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & \overline{\Ga}_c{}^b{}_a \\
\Ga_c{}^b{}_a & 0
\end{array} \rb
=
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & \Ga_{ca}{}^b \\
\Ga_c{}^b{}_a & 0
\end{array} \rb
$$
Explicity, from the complex multiplication coefficient matrix, the chiral Clifford vector and bivector representatives are
\begin{eqnarray}
\Ga_0 &=& \lb \ba{cc} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \ea \rb = \si_3 = K \\
\Ga_1 &=& \lb \ba{cc} 0 & -1 \\ -1 & 0 \ea \rb = - \si_1 = -JK = - L \\
\Ga_{01} &=& \lb \ba{cc} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \ea \rb = - i \, \si_2 = \ep = J \\
\end{eqnarray}
which relate directly to the [[Pauli matrices]], the [[skew]], the matrix representation of [[sl(2)]], and the [[realification|realify]] of complex structure. These three operators, $\{J,K,L\}$, conflated with their matrix [[representation]], $\{\pi(J)=-i \si_2$, $\pi(K)=\si_3$, $\pi(L)=\si_1\}$, constitute a basis for the [[sl(2)]] Lie algebra, and generally a [[complex structure]], which acts on the representation space, $V = \pi(z) = \lb \ba{c} a \\ b \ea \rb$. A ''phase rotation'', a $spin(2)$ [[Clifford rotation]], with rotor $U = e^{\ha \ph \, \Ga_{01}}$, similar to a [[spatial rotation]], preserves the complex norm.
The complex numbers also have a different faithful real matrix representation that comes from their multiplication table,
$$
(e_c)^b{}_a = M^\os{b}{}_{ac} \s \s
e_0 = \lb \ba{cc} 1 & \\ & 1 \ea \rb = 1 \s \s
e_1 = \lb \ba{cc} & 1 \\ -1 & \ea \rb = -J \s \s
\ga_c =
\lb \begin{array}{cc}
0 & e_c \\
\os{e}_c & 0
\end{array} \rb
$$
that can also be used to build the ''direct complex representation'' for $Cl(2)$, related to $\ga'_c$ by a [[similarity transformation|Dirac matrices]].
A ''complex structure'' is a linear automorphism, $J : V \mapsto V$, of a [[vector space]] that squares to the negative of the identity, $J J = -1$. This complex structure splits the real but ''J-complex'' vector space, $V = V^J_{\mathbb C} = V^J_{\mathbb R} + V^J_{\mathbb I}$, into two (''J-real'' and ''J-imaginary'') distinct equal halves, $V^J_{\mathbb R}$ and $V^J_{\mathbb I}$, satisfying
$$
J \, V^J_{\mathbb R} = V^J_{\mathbb I} \s J \, V^J_{\mathbb I} = - V^J_{\mathbb R}
$$
These halves are [[eigen]]spaces of a ''complex conjugation'' operator, $K$, such that $K \, V^J_{{\mathbb R}/{\mathbb I}} = \pm V^J_{{\mathbb R}/{\mathbb I}}$. (If $V$ is a [[Lie algebra]] then $K$ is a [[Lie algebra involution]], and $J$ is a complex structure on the Lie algebra if it commutes with the adjoint.) As operators, $K$ and $J$ anticommute, and anticommute with their product, $L = J K$. These three operators, $\{J,K,L\}$, constitute a basis for the [[sl(2)]] Lie algebra, which has a [[representation]] with basis $\{J=-i \si_2$, $K=\si_3$, $L=\si_1\}$ using [[Pauli matrices]] acting on $V= \left[\begin{array}{c} V^J_{\mathbb R} \\ V^J_{\mathbb I} \end{array}\right]$. If a vector $v \in V$ is written as $v = u + J w$, with $u, w \in V^J_{\mathbb R}$, then the usual notation for the complex conjugate is $v^* = Kv = u - J w$, and $J$ can be written as $J=i=\sqrt{-1}$, with $v$ a [[complex number]]; however, it is often useful to keep track of $J$ and $i$ separately as commuting complex structures. For example, acting on a J-complex vector space, the $J$ operator splits the space into positive and negative ''i-complex'' eigenspaces,
$$
J \, V_\pm = \pm i \, V_\pm \s
V_\pm = V_{\mathbb R} \mp i V'_{\mathbb R} = V^J_{\mathbb R} \mp i V^J_{\mathbb I} \s
V^J_{\mathbb R} = \ha \lp V_+ + V_- \rp \s
V^J_{\mathbb I} = \fr{i}{2} \lp V_+ - V_- \rp \s
$$
with the i-complex structure matching the J-complex structure of the space (i.e. $V_{\mathbb R} = V^J_{\mathbb R}$ and $V'_{\mathbb R} = V^J_{\mathbb I}$). These conjugate as $K \, V_\pm = V_\mp$.
Similarly, a ''real structure'' is a linear automorphism of a vector space that squares to the identity, $J J = 1$.
The crux of [[triality]] is an isomorphism between [[Clifford vectors|Clifford basis vectors]], positive [[chiral]] [[spinor]]s, and negative chiral spinors, in eight dimensions -- but this also exists in two dimensions as ''complex triality''. This relates to an automorphism of a set of three [[complex number]]s, and to an inner automorphism of [[su(3)]].
The relevant triality is a non-degenerate trilinear function of three [[complex number]]s (or [[split-complex number]]s),
\begin{eqnarray}
T(v,\ps,\ch) &=& v^c \ps^a \ch^b M_{ab\os{c}} = v^0 \ps^0 \ch^0 - v^0 \ps^1 \ch^1 - v^1 \ps^1 \ch^0 - v^1 \ps^0 \ch^1 \\
T'(v,\ps,\ch) &=& v^c \ps^a \ch^b M'_{ab\os{c}} = v^0 \ps^0 \ch^0 + v^0 \ps^1 \ch^1 + v^1 \ps^1 \ch^0 + v^1 \ps^0 \ch^1 \\
\end{eqnarray}
or of the equivalent vector and spinors, using [[division algebra confusion]] with $Cl(2)$ (or $Cl(1,1)$).
A triality automorphism, permuting the three elements in the triplet, corresponds to an inner [[triality automorphism of su(3)]].
A non-null spacetime [[momentum]], $p = p^\mu \ga_\mu$, with mass $m^2 = p^2 = 2 \, r \cdot q$, may be constructed from two non-colinear null momenta,
$$
p = r + q
$$
A corresponding [[Dirac spinor]] is made from two Weyl spinors. We use [[helicity notation]], and build $r$ from a right-handed [[Weyl spinor]], $r ]$, and $q$ from a left-handed Weyl spinor, $q \g$. Positive energy [[Dirac solution|Dirac solutions]] basis are $u_+ = r ] + \al \, q \g$ and $u_- = r \g + \be \, q ]$, which when put in the [[Dirac equation]], using $p_R = r ] \l r + r ] \l r$ and $p_L = r \g [ r + q \g [ q$,
$$
0 = \lb \ba{cc} - m & p_L \\ p_R & - m \ea \rb \lb \ba{c} \al \, q \g \\ r ] \ea \rb
= \lb \ba{c}
- m \, \al \, q \g + q \g [ q \, r ] \\
- m \, r ] + r ] \l r \, \al \, q \g]
\ea \rb
$$
$$
0 = \lb \ba{cc} - m & p_L \\ p_R & - m \ea \rb \lb \ba{c} r \g \\ \be \, q ] \ea \rb
= \lb \ba{c}
- m \, r \g + r \g [ r \, \be \, q ] \\
- m \, \be \, q ] + q ] \l q \, r \g]
\ea \rb
$$
requires $\al = \fr{m}{\l r \, q \g} = \fr{ [ q \, r ]}{m} = - \fr{1}{\be}$, which is sensible since $m^2 = \l r \, q \g [ q \, r ]$.
A ''compound triality decomposition'' of a [[Lie algebra]] is a [[triality decomposition]] in which each triplet element is the outer product of two [[division algebra]] elements, $\mathbb{D}_1 \otimes \mathbb{D}_2$, and the triality subalgebra, $\mathfrak{h} = \mathfrak{h}_1 + \mathfrak{h}_2 = {\rm Tri}(\mathbb{D}_1) + {\rm Tri}(\mathbb{D}_2)$, is the union of their subalgebras, so
$$
\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{h}_1 + \mathfrak{h}_2 + v_1 \otimes v_2 + m_1 \otimes m_2 + p_1 \otimes p_2
$$
This produces the [[exceptional magic square]] of Lie algebras. If the structure constants and [[Killing form]] from the triality decomposition of a Lie algebra from one division algebra are
$$
C_{\mathfrak{h}\mathfrak{h}}{}^\mathfrak{h} \;\; C_{\mathfrak{h}v}{}^v \;\; C_{\mathfrak{h}m}{}^m \;\; C_{\mathfrak{h}p}{}^p \;\; C_{vv}{}^\mathfrak{h} \;\; C_{mm}{}^\mathfrak{h} \;\; C_{pp}{}^\mathfrak{h} \;\; C_{vm}{}^p \;\; C_{mp}{}^v \;\; C_{pv}{}^m \;\; g_{\mathfrak{h}\mathfrak{h}} \;\; g_{vv} \;\; g_{mm} \;\; g_{pp}
$$
then the structure constants for the ''compound triality composition'' of two such Lie algebras are
$$ \ba{rclcrclcrcl}
& & &\!\!\!\! \!\!\!\! C^1_{\mathfrak{h}_1\mathfrak{h}_1}{}^{\mathfrak{h}_1} \!\!\!\! \!\!\!\!& &

\ea
$$
in which it may be necessary to rescale $C^1$, $C^2$, $g^1$, and $g^2$ to satisfy the [[Jacobi identitiy|Lie algebra]].
Some examples of compound triality decompositions are
\begin{eqnarray}
su(6) &=& su(2) + su(2) + su(2) + u(1) + u(1) + 4^v \otimes 2 + 4^- \otimes 2 + 4^+ \otimes 2 \\
e6 &=& spin(8) + u(1) + u(1) + 8^v \otimes 2 + 8^- \otimes 2 + 8^+ \otimes 2 \\
e7 &=& spin(8) + su(2) + su(2) + su(2) + 8^v \otimes 4^v + 8^- \otimes 4^- + 8^+ \otimes 4^+ \\
e8 &=& spin(8) + spin(8) + 8^v \otimes 8^v + 8^- \otimes 8^- + 8^+ \otimes 8^+ \\
\end{eqnarray}
This relates directly to [[Clifford compound division algebra representation]]s
The ''conformal algebra'', a [[Lie algebra]] isomorphic to [[spin(2,4)]], derives from the Lie brackets of the [[conformal generators|conformal transformation]],
\begin{eqnarray}
\lb L_{\mu\nu}, L_{\rh\si} \rb &=& \et_{\nu\rh} L_{\mu\si} + \et_{\mu\si} L_{\nu\rh} - \et_{\mu\rh} L_{\nu\si} - \et_{\nu\si} L_{\mu\rh} \\
\lb L_{\mu\nu}, P_\rh \rb &=& \et_{\nu\rh} P_\mu - \et_{\mu\rh} P_\nu \\
\lb L_{\mu\nu}, K_\rh \rb &=& \et_{\nu\rh} K_\mu - \et_{\mu\rh} K_\nu \\
\lb P_\mu, K_\nu \rb &=& 2 \lp L_{\mu\nu} - \et_{\mu\nu} D \rp \\
\lb D, P_\mu \rb &=& - P_\mu \\
\lb D, K_\mu \rb &=& K_\mu \\
\end{eqnarray}
The conformal generators for rotations, translations, special conformal transformations, and dilations relate to $spin(2,4)$ bivectors and $spin(2,4)_- \sim Cl(1,3)$ elements as
\begin{eqnarray}
L_{\mu\nu} &\sim& \ga'_{\mu\nu} \sim \ga_{\mu\nu} \\
P_\mu &\sim& -\ga'_{\mu 5} - \ga'_{\mu 6} \\
K_\mu &\sim& -\ga'_{\mu 5} + \ga'_{\mu 6} \\
D &\sim& \ha \ga'_{5 6} \\
\end{eqnarray}
which satisfy the Lie brackets above.
Elements of the [[conformal group]] act as auto[[diffeomorphism]]s of [[Minkowski spacetime|rest frame]], $M$. But, as a [[Lie group]], the conformal group is $Spin(2,4)$ and acts on vectors, $v' \in Cl(2,4)_1$, on ''conformal spacetime'', $M'$, of signature $(2,4)$. The ''conformal embedding'' of Minkowski spacetime into conformal spacetime is via a function, $X : M \to M'$, which induces a map on tangent vectors, $v' : TM \to TM'$, with the corresponding map on Clifford vectors, $v' : Cl(1,3)_1 \to Cl(2,4)_1$. We will establish that the [[Cl(2,4)]] chiral vector from this mapping of a [[Cl(1,3)]] vector is
$$
v'_+(v) = v + \ha (v^2+1) \ga + \ha i (v^2 -1) =
\lb \ba{cc}
-i & v_L \\
v_R & i \, v_R v_L
\ea \rb
$$
This chiral vector transforms under [[conformal group]] translations by $p$ to the translated vector,
$$
U^P_+ v'_+ U^{P-}_- =
\lb \ba{cc}
1 & 0 \\
i \, p_R & 1
\ea \rb
\lb \ba{cc}
-i & v_L \\
v_R & i \, v_R v_L
\ea \rb
\lb \ba{cc}
1 & i \, p_L \\
0 & 1
\ea \rb
=
\lb \ba{cc}
-i & v_L + p_L \\
v_R + p_R & i \, (v_R + p_R) (v_L + p_L)
\ea \rb
= v'_+(v+p)
$$
Every mapped $Cl(1,3)$ vector sits on a null cone in conformal spacetime, $0 = v'_- v'_+$, and is the [[Clifford reflection]] of a null vector, $n' = \ha (v^2+1)(\ga'_6 - \ga'_5)$, through a vector, $( v - \ga'_5)$, with $v = v^\mu \ga'_\mu$, so every mapped vector in $Cl(2,4)_1$,
$$
v'(v) = - \frac{(v - \ga'_5) \, n' (v - \ga'_5)}{(v^2+1)} = v - \ha (v^2+1) \ga'_5 + \ha (v^2-1) \ga'_6
= v + v^2 \ha (\ga'_6 - \ga'_5) - \ha (\ga'_5 + \ga'_6)
$$
is on a paraboloid over $Cl(1,3)_1$ along $ \ha (\ga'_6 - \ga'_5)$ lowered by $\ha (\ga'_5 + \ga'_6)$ -- the ''conformal embedding'' of spacetime. A conformal embedding can also be in the vector space of [[Cl(4,4)]], via [[realification|realify]] of $Cl(2,4)$.
Hmm, if the conformal embedding of Minkowski spacetime is a parabolic section of the null cone, then the conformal embedding of [[de Sitter spacetime]] is a hyperbolic section?

Elements of the ''conformal group'', $Spin(2,4)$, are exponentiated elements of the conformal Lie algebra, [[spin(2,4)]] -- [[Clifford rotation]] rotors, $U' = e^{\ha B'} \in Cl(2,4)$. Via the [[chiral]] representatives of $spin(2,4)$, these then act on spacetime [[Cl(1,3)]] Clifford vectors, multivectors, and spinors, via a ''conformal rotor'', $U_\pm = e^{\ha B_\pm} \in Cl(2,4)_\pm$, with
$$
B_\pm = B + P_\pm + K_\pm + dD_\pm
$$
and ''conformal transformations'',
$$
v_\pm' \to U_\pm v'_\pm U^-_\mp
\s
\Ps_\pm \to U_\pm \Ps_\pm
$$
in which $v'_\pm = v^\mu \ga_\mu - v^5 \ga \pm i \, v^6$ are chiral [[Cl(2,4)]] vectors.
The spacetime bivector, $B$, generates spacetime [[Clifford rotation]]s via a spacetime rotor, $U^B_\pm = e^{\ha B}$.
The translation generators, $P_\pm = \pm 2 i p P_{L/R}$, square to zero, so the ''translation rotor'' is
$$
U^P_\pm = e^{\ha P_\pm} = 1 + \ha P_\pm = 1 \pm i p P_{L/R}
$$
Using the chiral [[Dirac matrices]], these are
$$
U^P_+ = \lb \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0 \\ i \, p_R & 1 \end{array} \rb
\s
U^P_- = \lb \begin{array}{cc} 1 & - i \, p_L \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \rb
$$
in which the [[momentum]] is $p_{L/R} = p^0 \si_0 \mp p^\va \si_\va$. Working within $Spin(2,4)_+$, operating on a chiral spinor, or [[twistor]], translation is
$$
U^P_+ \Ps_+ = \lb \ba{cc} 1 & 0 \\ i \, p_R & 1 \ea \rb \lb \ba{c} \ps_L \\ \ps_R \ea \rb
= \lb \begin{array}{c} \ps_L \\ \ps_R + i \, p_R \ps_L \end{array} \rb
$$
which relates to the incidence relation, $\ps_R = i \, p_R \ps_L$.
The special conformal generator, $K_\pm = \mp 2 i k P_{R/L}$, also squares to zero, so the ''special conformal rotor'' is
$$
U^K_\pm = e^{\ha K_\pm} = 1 + \ha K_\pm = 1 \mp i k P_{R/L}
$$
which are
$$
U^K_+ = \lb \begin{array}{cc} 1 & - i \, k_L \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \rb
\s
U^K_- = \lb \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0 \\ i \, k_R & 1 \end{array} \rb
$$
in which the ''special conformal vector'' is $k_{L/R} = k^0 \si_0 \mp k^\va \si_\va$.
The dilation generator, $dD_\pm = \pm \ha i d \ga$, squares to $\fr{d^2}{4}$, so generates spacetime ''dilations'' via a ''dilation rotor'',
$$
U^D_\pm = e^{\ha dD_\mp} = \cosh{\fr{\ze}{2}} \pm i \ga \sinh{\fr{\ze}{2}}
$$
in which $\tanh{\ze}=\fr{d}{2}$.
A [[conformal transformation]], or ''global conformal transformation'', is a [[local conformal transformation]] of flat [[Minkowski spacetime|rest frame]] -- a restricted auto[[diffeomorphism]], $x^\mu \to x'^\mu = \ph^\mu(x)$, that leaves the [[metric]] unchanged up to a scaling,
$$
\et_{\mu\nu} \to \et'_{\mu\nu}(x') = \pa_\mu \ph^\rh(x) \, \pa_\nu \ph^\si(x) \, \et_{\rh\si} = \La(x)^2 \et_{\mu\nu}
$$
resulting in a ''conformally flat'' metric. (A [[Lorentz transformation]] is a conformal transformation with unit scaling, $\La=1$.) Equivalently, a conformal transformation is an autodiffeomorphism that corresponds to a Clifford rotation and scaling of the [[frame]],
$$
\f{e} \to \f{e}'(x') = \f{\ve{L}} \f{e} = \La(x) \, U \f{e} U^-
$$
for some [[rotor|Clifford rotation]], $U(x)$, with the [[vector valued form]] ''conformal transformation operator'' defined as
$$
\f{\ve{L}}(x) = \f{dx^i} L_i{}^j \ve{\pa'_j} \s\s L_i{}^j(x) = \pa_i \ph^j(x)
$$
If we consider conformal transformations near the identity, $\ph^\mu(x) \simeq x^\mu + \ep^\mu(x)$ for small $\ep$, then our defining equation to first order is
$$
\pa_\mu \ep_\nu + \pa_\nu \ep_\mu = f(x) \et_{\mu\nu}
$$
with $f(x) = \ha \pa^\mu \ep_\mu$ (from tracing) and $\La^2(x) \simeq 1 + f(x)$. Messing around with this equation, we get
$$
0 = 3 \pa_\nu \pa^\nu \pa^\mu \ep_\mu
\s
2 \pa_\mu \pa_\nu \ep_\rh = \ha (-\et_{\mu\nu} \pa_\rh + \et_{\rh\mu} \pa_\nu + \et_{\nu \rh} \pa_\mu) \pa^\si \ep_\si
$$
which is solved by $\ep_\mu = a_\mu + b_{\mu\nu} x^\nu + c_{\mu\nu\rh} x^\nu x^\rh$. Using this ansatz, and converting these infinitesimal coefficients, restricted by our PDE's, into generators, we get ''conformal generators'' for ''translations'', ''rotations'', ''dilations'', and ''special conformal transformations'',
\begin{eqnarray}
L_{\mu\nu} &=& x_\mu \pa_\nu - x_\nu \pa_\mu \\
P_\mu &=& \pa_\mu \\
K_\mu &=& x^\rh x_\nu \pa_\nu - 2 x_\mu x^\nu \pa_\nu \\
D &=& x^\mu \pa_\mu \\
\end{eqnarray}
The Lie brackets between these generators give the [[conformal algebra]].
