Scientific paper
Generalized Clifford algebras (GCAs) and their physical applications were extensively studied for about a decade from 1967 by Alladi Ramakrishnan and his collaborators under the name of L-matrix theory. Some aspects of GCAs and their physical applications are outlined here. The topics dealt with include: GCAs and projective representations of finite abelian groups, Alladi Ramakrishnan's sigma operation approach to the representation theory of Clifford algebra and GCAs, Dirac's positive energy relativistic wave equation, Weyl-Schwinger unitary basis for matrix algebra and Alladi Ramakrishnan's matrix decomposition theorem, finite-dimensional Wigner function, finite-dimensional canonical transformations, magnetic Bloch functions, finite-dimensional quantum mechanics, and the relation between GCAs and quantum groups.
