Abstract
The Cliffordian formalism through the pure spinor theory of Chevalley-Cartan enables one to construct explicitely a torogonal lifting of some reduction of a pseudo-Riemannian structure. Some applications of this construction are given, for instance, in relation with the geometric quantization in Mathematical Physics.
