Three main results are obtained in this paper: one generalizes the Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro periodicity equivalence on the category of real Clifford modules, (Theorem 2.2); another establishes the existence of two algebras for real projective representations of the symmetric group Sn and the alternating group An, (Theorem 3.2) and determines their structure, (Theorem 6.1); the third describes all the real projective representations of Sn and An except for some small numbers n, (Theorem 7.2).
