Clifford (film)
''Clifford'' is a 1994 American slapstick black comedy film directed by Paul Flaherty, written by Will Porter (under the alias of "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 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. ''Clifford'' was filmed in 1990 and originally planned for release in the summer of 1991, but was shelved for several years due to Orion Pictures' bleak financial situation. The film was not released until 1994, and was a critical and commercial failure but has since developed a cult following. Plot At a Catholic school in 2050, elderly priest Father Clifford Daniels catches a boy named Roger running away after blowing up the gym because he was not allowed on a basketball team. The pri ...

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 conti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clifford, Queensland
Clifford is a rural locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , Clifford had a population of 29 people. Geography The southern boundary of the locality loosely follows the Great Dividing Range with the locality being with the North East Coast drainage basin, specifically within the catchment of the Fitzroy River. The Emu State Forest is in the south of the locality. Apart from this protected area, the land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with a small amount of crop growing. Demographics In the , Clifford had a population of 22 people. In the , Clifford had a population of 29 people. Education There are no schools in Clifford. The nearest government primary schools are Grosmont State School in Grosmont to the north-east and Yuleba State School in Yuleba to the south. However, students in the centre of the locality would be too distant to attend these schools. The nearest government secondary school is Wallumbilla State Sch ...

Clifford Torus
In geometric topology, the Clifford torus is the simplest and most symmetric flat embedding of the Cartesian product of two circles and (in the same sense that the surface of a cylinder is "flat"). It is named after William Kingdon Clifford. The Clifford torus is embedded in , as opposed to in . This is necessary since and each exists in their own independent embedding space and , the resulting product space will be rather than . The historically popular view that the Cartesian product of two circles is an 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 available to it after the first circle consumes and . Stated another way, a torus embedded in is an asymmetric reduced-dimension projection of the maximally symmetric Clifford torus embedded in . The relationship is similar to that of projecting the edges of a cube onto a sheet of paper. Such a proj ... [...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. Statement 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 ''N.'' If ...

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 ...
