Abstract

Ternary Clifford algebras are an essential ingredient in a cubic factorization of the Laplacian and using a ternary Clifford analysis build on such spaces one obtains a Dirac-type operator D such that \(D^3=\Delta \). This paper is a continuation of the work of the authors in describing properties of generalized ternary Clifford algebras. Here we explore a blade decomposition and symmetries of these algebras.
