[net.math] n-dimensional complex numbers

The recent postings regarding extensions of quaternions to
higher dimensions are interesting, & they lead me to ask the
following totally naive question : are there corresponding
generalizations to higher-order spinors ? Can rotations in
n-dimensional space be described this way ? Please forgive me
if this is a dumb question. I haven't read anything about higher-
order quaternions except for the recent postings, & I haven't
really given the subject too much thought.
