Abstract

The hidden universal Clifford algebra structure of M4(R) is ambiguous in the sense that this matrix algebra is the universal geometric algebra belonging to each of the real four-dimensional quadratic vector spaces R1,3 and R2,2. As a non-universal Clifford algebra, however, M4(R) is a geometric algebra of the unique five-dimensional quadratic vector space R2,3.
