Can geometric algebra be used in algebraic geometry? I understand geometric algebra is useful in physics involving differential geometry and calculus, and that algebraic geometry is heavy on the algebra of polynomials and a complete field of study in mathematics, whereas geometric algebra is more like an object (Clifford algebra, etc.).
- danharaj 8y agoGeometric algebra is about the algebra of a widget called a grassmanian, which figures very prominently in algebraic geometry.
