We define a spinor Abelian variety $S_Δ$ to be a complex Abelian variety whose tangent space at the origin is a space of spinors for a suitable complex Clifford algebra $\mathbb{C}_{q}(V)$. We examine intrinsic properties of such varieties and the connection between Clifford multiplication and their endomorphism algebras. We then extend the analysis of Clifford multiplication to the dual torus $Pic^{0}(S_Δ)$.
In this paper we construct complex tori, denoted by $S_{\mathbb{B}_{1,p,q}}$, as quotients of tensor products of Cayley--Dickson algebras, denoted $\mathbb{B}_{1,p,q}=\mathbb{C}\otimes \mathbb{H}^{\otimes p}\otimes \mathbb{O}^{\otimes q}$, with their integral subrings. We then show that these complex tori have endomorphism rings of full rank and are isogenous to the direct sum of $2^{2p+3q}$ copies of an elliptic curve $E$ of $j$-invariant $1728$.
In this manuscript we consider a special complex torus, denoted $S_{Δ_{2k}}$ (for each $k \in \mathbb{N},\, k \geq 1$) and called the Dirac spinor torus. It is an Abelian variety of complex dimension $2^{k}$ whose covering space is the space of Dirac spinors, $Δ_{2k}$, for the Clifford algebra $Cl(\mathbb{C}^{2k})$ associated with the vector space $\mathbb{C}^{2k}$. Fixing an isomorphism $ρ:Cl(\mathbb{C}^{2k})\rightarrow End (Δ_{2k})$, we define Clifford multiplication on $S_{Δ_{2k}}$ as the actions of those endomorphisms in the image of $ρ$ that preserve the full rank lattice. We analyze the properties of that Clifford multiplication on the 2-torsion points of the Dirac spinor torus. We identify the Clifford actions with permutation maps that represent all isomorphism classes of these actions on the group of 2-torsion points. We provide a structure theorem describing these isomorphism classes of Clifford actions in a way that is independent of the choice of representatives. We conclude by extending the scope of our analysis to the group of $n$-torsion points and analyzing the fixed points and translation constants of entry-permuting maps, a broader class of actions of which the Clifford actions on the 2-torsion points of $S_{Δ_{2k}}$ is a subset.
This paper gives an overview of the main results of Brill-Noether Theory for vector bundles on algebraic curves.
