Division algebras, Clifford algebras, periodicity
Periodicities in Clifford algebra theory of orders \(2,4,\) and \(8\) are well known. Starting from a result from lattice theory, in which a \(24\)-dimensional Leech lattice can be represented in the \(3\)-dimensional space with octonion components, the main goal of this paper is to prove that, by exploiting the octonion algebra, in Clifford algebra representation theory a periodicity of order 24 arises.
