Abstract

After an overview of Hurwitz pairs we are showing how to actually construct them and discussing whether, for a given representation, all Hurwitz pairs of the same type are equivalent. Finally modules over a Clifford algebra are considered with compatible inner products; the results being then aplied to Hurwitz pairs.
