Superconducting Pairing Symmetry on Geometric-Algebra Foundations via the Scalar-Projection Method

Abstract

We formulate the low-energy theory of superconducting pairing in the geometric algebra $Cl_{3,0}$. Conventional BCS mean-field theory and its extensions ($s$-, $p$-, $d$-wave, etc.) have algebraic counterparts in an eight-dimensional real multivector space. The construction is a two-level projection: matrix blocks are represented as Clifford multivectors, and their grade-0 projected geometric products extract the scalar blocks from which Hamiltonians are built. The result is an algebraic reconstruction, physically equivalent to the standard complex-matrix formulation. In this reconstruction, the dichotomy of pairing channels acquires an algebraic root: it follows from the fermionic identity $B^\dagger(V)=-B^\dagger(V^{\mathsf T})$, and the Fierz rearrangement is realized by the map $Φ:G\mapsto Ge_{31}$ (with $e_{31}^2=-1$). This yields a kernel/matrix dictionary: at the effective-kernel level grades $0\oplus3$ correspond to spin singlets and grades $1\oplus2$ to triplets; at the pairing-matrix level the singlet plane is $\mathrm{span}\{e_2,e_{31}\}$. The BCS limit has a double grade identity: kernel grade 0 (scalar glue) and vertex grade 2, a bivector ($iσ_2\leftrightarrow e_{31}$). We state three algebraic results: (i) a decomposition theorem for BdG quantum geometry with a null-texture criterion, applied to the chiral-state controversy in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$; (ii) a Fierz sign duality in the four-dimensional Minkowski algebra, with a chirality-reversal extension to two-node Weyl-semimetal models; (iii) an error bound and condition-number structure for tomographic reconstruction under a linear-response probe model. Illustrations include a glue-generation mechanism, a one-loop algebraic renormalization flow whose feeding constant coincides in magnitude with the $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ Casimir, closed-form $μ=0$ inter-node spectra, and a UTe$_2$ two-phase analysis.
