Relations between Clifford algebra and Dirac matrices in the presence of families
Abstract
The internal degrees of freedom of fermions are in the spin-charge-family theory described by the Clifford algebra objects, which are superposition of an odd number of γa's. Arranged into irreducible representations of "eigenvectors" of the Cartan subalgebra of the Lorentz algebra Sab (= i2 γa γb|a b) these objects form 2d2-1 families with 2d2-1 family members each. Family members of each family offer the description of all the observed quarks and leptons and antiquarks and antileptons, appearing in families. Families are reachable by Sab =12 γa γb|a b. Creation operators, carrying the family member and family quantum numbers form the basic vectors. The action of the operators γa's, Sab, γa's and Sab, applying on the basic vectors, manifests as matrices. In this paper the basic vectors in d=(3+1) Clifford space are discussed, chosen in a way that the matrix representations of γa and of Sab coincide for each family quantum number, determined by Sab , with the Dirac matrices. The appearance of charges in Clifford space is discussed by embedding d=(3+1) space into d=(5+1)-dimensional space.
