Extract

Let ℝ∞ be the direct limit of the Euclidean spaces ℝn. Now the orthogonal group O(∞) acts on ℝn and the direct limit O(∞) of the groups O(∞) acts on ℝ∞. The infinite pin group Pin(∞) is an extension of ℤ2 by O(∞) and admits the following presentation: the generators are the unit vectors xf in ℝ∞ and the relations are
