Vahlen's Group of Clifford Matrices and Spin-Groups.
Let be a finite field of characteristic and a field which contains a primitive th root of unity and . Suppose that a classical group acts on the -vector space . Then it can induce the actions on the vector space and on the group algebra , respectively. In this paper we determine the structure of -invariant ideals of the group algebra , and establish the relationship between the invariant ideals of and the vector invariant ideals of , if is a unitary group or orthogonal group....
We classify quadratic - and -modules by crude computation, generalising in the first case a Theorem proved independently by F.G. Timmesfeld and S. Smith. The paper is the first of a series dealing with linearisation results for abstract modules of algebraic groups and associated Lie rings.
