Clifford (film)
''Clifford'' is a 1994 American slapstick black comedy film directed by Paul Flaherty, written by Jay Dee Rock and Steven Kampmann (under the alias of "Bobby Von Hayes"), and starring Martin Short, Charles Grodin, Mary Steenburgen, and Dabney Coleman with supporting roles done by G.D. Spradlin, Anne Jeffreys, Richard Kind, and Jennifer Savidge. It tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who stays with his uncle while his parents are on a business trip in Honolulu. The film was shot in 1990 and originally planned for release in the summer of 1991, but it remained in limbo for several years due to Orion Pictures' bleak financial situation. It was not released until 1994, and it was a critical and commercial failure. Despite the negative reception, the film has gained a cult following over the years. Plot At a Catholic school in 2050, an old priest named Father Clifford catches a boy named Roger running away after blowing up the gym because he was not allowed on a basketball team. C ...

Clifford, Herefordshire
Clifford is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, and to the north of Hay-on-Wye. It lies on the south bank of the River Wye, which here forms the border between Wales and England. The village sits on the B4350 road. The civil parish includes the hamlets of Priory Wood and Hardwicke.

Clifford, Ontario
Clifford is an unincorporated community in the Town of Minto in Wellington County in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. It is on Ontario Highway 9 and Coon Creek, a stream in the Saugeen River drainage basin. The village of Clifford was founded around 1855 as Minto Village. Also . After the opening of the post office in 1856, the settlement was renamed Clifford by the first postmaster Francis Brown after Clifford in West Yorkshire, England. Clifford was incorporated as a village in 1873. In 1999, Clifford was amalgamated with Palmerston, Harriston and Minto Township to create Minto. The first telephones in the community were installed in 1890 by Bell Canada. Wightman Telecom, based in Clifford and owned by the Wightman family, has owned and operated a communication system in Clifford since 1908, with a telephone system that was originally operated out of a kitchen in Howick Township. Wightman bought out Bell's operations in Clifford, Ayton and Neustadt in 1928. The firm continue ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Clifford Torus
In geometric topology, the Clifford torus is the simplest and most symmetric flat embedding of the cartesian product of two circles ''S'' and ''S'' (in the same sense that the surface of a cylinder is "flat"). It is named after William Kingdon Clifford. It resides in R4, as opposed to in R3. To see why R4 is necessary, note that if ''S'' and ''S'' each exists in its own independent embedding space R and R, the resulting product space will be R4 rather than R3. The historically popular view that the cartesian product of two circles is an R3 torus in contrast requires the highly asymmetric application of a rotation operator to the second circle, since that circle will only have one independent axis ''z'' available to it after the first circle consumes ''x'' and ''y''. Stated another way, a torus embedded in R3 is an asymmetric reduced-dimension projection of the maximally symmetric Clifford torus embedded in R4. The relationship is similar to that of projecting the edges of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clifford Theory
In mathematics, Clifford theory, introduced by , describes the relation between representations of a group and those of a normal subgroup. Alfred H. Clifford Alfred H. Clifford proved the following result on the restriction of finite-dimensional irreducible representations from a group ''G'' to a normal subgroup ''N'' of finite index: Clifford's theorem Theorem. Let π: ''G'' → GL(''n'',''K'') be an irreducible representation with ''K'' a field. Then the restriction of π to ''N'' breaks up into a direct sum of irreducible representations of ''N'' of equal dimensions. These irreducible representations of ''N'' lie in one orbit for the action of ''G'' by conjugation on the equivalence classes of irreducible representations of ''N''. In particular the number of pairwise nonisomorphic summands is no greater than the index of ''N'' in ''G''. Clifford's theorem yields information about the restriction of a complex irreducible character of a finite group ''G'' to a normal subgroup ' ...

Clifford Module
In mathematics, a Clifford module is a representation of a Clifford algebra. In general a Clifford algebra ''C'' is a central simple algebra over some field extension ''L'' of the field ''K'' over which the quadratic form ''Q'' defining ''C'' is defined. The abstract theory of Clifford modules was founded by a paper of M. F. Atiyah, R. Bott and Arnold S. Shapiro. A fundamental result on Clifford modules is that the Morita equivalence class of a Clifford algebra (the equivalence class of the category of Clifford modules over it) depends only on the signature . This is an algebraic form of Bott periodicity. Matrix representations of real Clifford algebras We will need to study ''anticommuting'' matrices () because in Clifford algebras orthogonal vectors anticommute : A \cdot B = \frac( AB + BA ) = 0. For the real Clifford algebra \mathbb_, we need mutually anticommuting matrices, of which ''p'' have +1 as square and ''q'' have −1 as square. : \begin \gamma_a^2 &=& +1 &\mbox &1 ...
