Foreword: W. K. Clifford: (1845-1879) was not only a genius mathematician but also a physicist and a philosopher. Research Program: (A) Using Cliffordian methods study: the five types of exceptional simple Lie algebras and the corresponding associated Lie groups; the singular Lie algebra D4 associated to O(8) and Spin(8); simple exceptional Jordan algebras; exceptional projective Moufang planes and non-associative composition algebras and applications to the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum computing and cosmological models. (B) Applications of triple systems to the study of bounded symmetric domains; relations to conformal geometry over classical pseudo-Euclidean spaces.. (C) Conformal spinors and generalized twistors; application to prequantization and quantization; (D) Study of other spinorial algebras (Clifford-Heisenberg and orthosymplectic ones). (E) Dirac operators on manifolds and their generalizations; new topics about Clifford analysis. (F) Applications of Clifford algebraic methods in physics and engineering, in particular: multidimensional field theoretical models, robotics, control, image processing. (G) Epistemological heritage of William Kingdom Clifford. |
