A binary encoding of spinors and applications
Abstract
We present a binary code for spinors and Clifford multiplication using non-negative integers and their binary expressions, which can be easily implemented in computer programs for explicit calculations. As applications, we present explicit descriptions of the triality automorphism of $Spin(8)$, explicit representations of the Lie algebras $\mathfrak{spin}(8)$, $\mathfrak{spin}(7)$ and $\mathfrak{g}_2$, etc.
