This book presents a step-by-step guide to the basic theory of
multivectors and spinors, with a focus on conveying to the reader
the geometric understanding of these abstract objects. Following in
the footsteps of M. Riesz and L. Ahlfors, the book also explains
how Clifford algebra offers the ideal tool for studying spacetime
isometries and Moebius maps in arbitrary dimensions. The book
carefully develops the basic calculus of multivector fields and
differential forms, and highlights novelties in the treatment of,
e.g., pullbacks and Stokes's theorem as compared to standard
literature. It touches on recent research areas in analysis and
explains how the function spaces of multivector fields are split
into complementary subspaces by the natural first-order
differential operators, e.g., Hodge splittings and Hardy
splittings. Much of the analysis is done on bounded domains in
Euclidean space, with a focus on analysis at the boundary. The book
also includes a derivation of new Dirac integral equations for
solving Maxwell scattering problems, which hold promise for future
numerical applications. The last section presents down-to-earth
proofs of index theorems for Dirac operators on compact manifolds,
one of the most celebrated achievements of 20th-century
mathematics. The book is primarily intended for graduate and PhD
students of mathematics. It is also recommended for more advanced
undergraduate students, as well as researchers in mathematics
interested in an introduction to geometric analysis.
