TLDR
Generalized Clifford parallelisms involving hyperbolic quadrics in projective spaces over suitable quadratic extensions of F are defined with the help of a quaternion skew field H over a field F of arbitrary characteristic.
Abstract
We define generalized Clifford parallelisms in PG ( 3 , F ) with the help of a quaternion skew field H over a field F of arbitrary characteristic. Moreover we give a geometric description of such parallelisms involving hyperbolic quadrics in projective spaces over suitable quadratic extensions of F .

Clifford parallelism: old and new definitions, and their use

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of Clifford parallelism was introduced, which consists of all regular spreads of the real projective 3-space whose focal lines form a regulus contained in an imaginary quadric (D1 = Klein's definition).

A note on Clifford parallelisms in characteristic two

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that a purely inseparable field extension L/F with some extra property and degree [L : F] = 4 determines a Clifford parallelism on the set of lines of the three-dimensional projective space over F.

Pencilled regular parallelisms

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of pencilled line sets with respect to the Klein quadric was shown to be an algebraic condition for hyperflock determining line sets (hfd line sets).

Clifford parallelisms defined by octonions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define (left and right) Clifford parallelisms on a seven-dimensional projective space algebraically, using an octonion division algebra, and determine the automorphism groups of these parallelisms.
