PBW equivalence for a Clifford filtration #

This file identifies the associated graded algebra of the Clifford degree filtration with the exterior algebra when 2 is invertible. It combines the equivalences on the successive quotients with their compatibility with homogeneous multiplication.

This completes the associated-graded-algebra part of Layer 0 in the spin representations roadmap.

An ordered product of Clifford generators from a linearly independent finite family is nonzero, in every characteristic. This is the multiplicative PBW independence statement.

@[simp]

The degree-zero piece equivalence sends a scalar class to the corresponding exterior scalar.

@[simp]

The inverse degree-zero piece equivalence sends an exterior scalar to its scalar class.

The associated graded of the Clifford filtration is the exterior algebra.
