This paper analyzes the graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over rings of the form R=k[x1,...,xr]/Q, when Q is a quadratic form defining a regular projective hypersurface, and k is an arbitrary field (the case when k is algebraically closed of characteristic ≠2 is a special case of the theory developed by Knorrer [1986]). For any nonzero quadratic form Q, regular or not, the graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay R-modules define modules over the even Clifford algebra of Q, and we show that this algebra is semi-simple iff Q is regular (this is classical for char k ≠2). As a result of this and other information about the Clifford algebra, we give a detailed account of the Cohen-Macaulay modules when Q is regular, identifying the number of indecomposables (2 or 3, counting R) their ranks, and the relations of duality and syzygy among them.
