The even unitary group of a split six-dimensional quadratic space #
A matrix-product model of the even Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate six-dimensional form identifies its reverse-unitary group with the general linear group of either matrix factor. Reversal exchanges the two central idempotents, so the second component of a unitary element is determined by the inverse of its first component. This differs from dimension four, where reversal preserves both factors and imposes determinant one in each.
The canonical polarization of the hyperbolic space splitEvenForm K 3 supplies such a model
through TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.evenCliffordEquivProdMatrix. Its matrix factors have size
four. In particular, the even unitary group of three rational hyperbolic planes is GL₄(ℚ).
This file concerns the even unitary carrier; its Spin subgroup is the subgroup of
determinant-one matrices, by TauCeti.hyperbolicSixSpinEquivSpecialLinear.

In a matrix-product model of a nondegenerate six-dimensional even Clifford algebra, reversal exchanges the two central idempotents.
Projecting to the first matrix factor identifies the reverse-unitary group of a nondegenerate six-dimensional even Clifford algebra with the general linear group. The matrix model is part of the data; reversal determines the inverse map uniquely.
