Circles and Clifford Algebras
We study maps from an open subset of some real projecive space to
some sphere such that any germ of straight line goes to a germ of circle (or
a point).
We give a construction of such maps based on representations of
Clifford algebras. It provides a complete purely geometric description
of Clifford algebras representations in terms of circles.
