The universal property of the even subalgebra

Main definitions

• CliffordAlgebra.even Q: The even subalgebra of CliffordAlgebra Q.
• CliffordAlgebra.EvenHom: The type of bilinear maps that satisfy the universal property of the even subalgebra
• CliffordAlgebra.even.lift: The universal property of the even subalgebra, which states that every bilinear map f with f v v = Q v and f u v * f v w = Q v • f u w is in unique correspondence with an algebra morphism from CliffordAlgebra.even Q.

Implementation notes

The approach here is outlined in "Computing with the universal properties of the Clifford algebra and the even subalgebra" (to appear).

The broad summary is that we have two tricks available to us for implementing complex recursors on top of CliffordAlgebra.lift: the first is to use morphisms as the output type, such as A = Module.End R N which is how we obtained CliffordAlgebra.foldr; and the second is to use N = (N', S) where N' is the value we wish to compute, and S is some auxiliary state passed between one recursor invocation and the next. For the universal property of the even subalgebra, we apply a variant of the first trick again by choosing S to itself be a submodule of morphisms.
