Description
Birkhauser Quadratic Mappings And Clifford Algebras 2008 Edition by Jacques Helmstetter, Artibano Micali
After general properties of quadratic mappings over rings, the authors more intensely study quadratic forms, and especially their Clifford algebras. To this purpose they review the required part of commutative algebra, and they present a significant part of the theory of graded Azumaya algebras. Interior multiplications and deformations of Clifford algebras are treated with the most efficient methods.
