We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Complex Osserman Algebraic Curvature Tensors and Clifford Families
Miguel Brozos-Vazquez and Peter B. Gilkey
Abstract
We use methods of algebraic topology to study the eigenvalue structure of a complex Osserman algebraic curvature tensor. We classify the algebraic curvature tensors which are both Osserman and complex Osserman in all but a finite number of exceptional dimensions
