Abstract

Clifford Algebras generalize curvature and torsion in R(p; q) (p and q are positive integers and p  +  q  =  n dimension of the space). General formulas are obtained. We study the special case q  =  0. Moreover if n  =  3 we obtain Frenet formulas.

Résumé

Les algébres de Clifford généralisent la courbure et la torsion dans R(p; q) (p q nombres positifs entiers et p  +  q  =  n, dimension de l’espace). On obtient aisément des formules générales. Nous étudions le cas particulier q  =  0. Si en outre n  =  3 on retrouve les formules de Frenet.
