Description
The importance of Clifford Algebras in fundamental physics was one of Basil Hiley's major insights. In this talk I will discuss the geometry of the Dirac equation, and how this is made clearer by the use of Clifford Algebras. I will discuss the differences between the Dirac and Schrödinger equations, and I will suggest ways in which the links between the Dirac equation and Cohomology allow for topological nonlocality in quantum theory.
