摘要
We investigate the properties of the Extended Fock Basis (EFB) of Clifford algebras [1] with which one can replace the traditional multivector expansion of with an expansion in terms of simple (also: pure) spinors. We show that a Clifford algebra with 2m generators is the direct sum of 2 (m) spinor subspaces S characterized as being left eigenvectors of I"; furthermore we prove that the well known isomorphism between simple spinors and totally null planes holds only within one of these spinor subspaces. We also show a new symmetry between spinor and vector spaces: similarly to a vector space of dimension 2m that contains totally null planes of maximal dimension m, also a spinor space of dimension 2 (m) contains "totally simple planes", subspaces made entirely of simple spinors, of maximal dimension m.
