Centralizers of spin subalgebras

Abstract

We determine the centralizers of certain isomorphic copies of spin subalgebras $\mathfrak{spin}(r)$ in $\mathfrak{so}(d_rm)$, where $d_r$ is the dimension of a real irreducible representation of $Cl_r^0$, the even Clifford algebra determined by the positive definite inner product on $\mathbb{R}^r$, where $r, m\in\mathbb{N}$.
