Conjugations #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file defines the grade reversal and grade involution functions on multivectors, reverse and
involute.
Together, these operations compose to form the "Clifford conjugate", hence the name of this file.

Main definitions #
clifford_algebra.involute: the grade involution, negating each basis vectorclifford_algebra.reverse: the grade reversion, reversing the order of a product of vectors
Main statements #
Grade involution, inverting the sign of each basis vector.
Equations
clifford_algebra.involute as an alg_equiv.
Equations
- clifford_algebra.involute_equiv = alg_equiv.of_alg_hom clifford_algebra.involute clifford_algebra.involute clifford_algebra.involute_equiv._proof_1 clifford_algebra.involute_equiv._proof_2
Grade reversion, inverting the multiplication order of basis vectors. Also called transpose in some literature.
clifford_algebra.reverse and clifford_algebra.inverse commute. Note that the composition
is sometimes referred to as the "clifford conjugate".
Statements about conjugations of products of lists #
Taking the reverse of the product a list of $n$ vectors lifted via ι is equivalent to
taking the product of the reverse of that list.
Taking the involute of the product a list of $n$ vectors lifted via ι is equivalent to
premultiplying by ${-1}^n$.
Statements about submodule.map and submodule.comap #
Like submodule.map_mul, but with the multiplication reversed.
Like submodule.map_pow

TODO: show that these are iffs when invertible (2 : R).
