Scientific paper

We examine the structure of the Clifford algebra associated with a Hermitian bilinear form and apply the result to a dynamical model of the relativistic point particle. The dynamics of the particle is described by a Dirac spinor with components in a Clifford algebra. This spinor determines, through the Clifford algebra, both the space-time coordinates and their conjugate momenta and satisfies a first order equation of motion which leads to the usual space-time canonical equations of motion. The constraints appear as the equations of motion for the einbein and spin connection which are needed to ensure the reparametrization invariance and local Lorentz invariance of the action.
