Resumen
Given the real Clifford algebra of a quadratic space with a given signature, we define a new product in this structure such that it simulates the Clifford product of a quadratic space with another signature different from the original one. Among the possible applications of this new product, we use it in order to write the Minkowskian Dirac equation over the Euclidean spacetime and to define a new duality operation in terms of which one can find self-dual and anti-self-dual solutions of gauge fields over Minkowski spacetime analogous to the ones over Euclidean spacetime and without needing to complexify the original real algebra. © 2001 Plenum Publishing Corporation. 40 1 229 241 Baylis, W., (1996) Clifford (Geometric) Algebras with Applications in Physics, Mathematics and Engineering, , Birkhäuser, Boston Chisholm, J.S.R., Common, A.K., (1986) Clifford Algebras and Their Applications in Mathematical Physics, , Reidel, Dordrecht Clifford, W.K., Applications of Grassmann's Extensive Algebra (1878) American Journal of Mathematics, 1, pp. 350-358 Delanghe, R., Brackx, F., Serras, H., (1993) Clifford Algebras and Their Applications in Mathematical Physics, , Kluwer, Dordrecht Dietrich, V., Habetha, K., Jank, G., (1998) Clifford Algebras and Their Applications in Mathematical Physics, , Kluwer, Dordrecht Figueiredo, V.L., De Oliveira, E.C., Rodrigues, W.A., Covariant, algebraic and operator spinors (1990) International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 29, pp. 371-395 Gilbert, J.E., Murray, M.A.M., (1991) Clifford Algebras and Dirac Operators in Harmonic Analysis, , Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Glimm, J., Jaffe, A., (1987) Quantum Physics.
