Tensor product of quaternion hilbert modules

One of the main problems in the theory of quaternion quantum mechanics has been the construction of a tensor product of quaternion Hilbert modules. A solution to this problem is given by studying the tensor product of quaternion algebras (over the reals) and some of its quotient modules. Real, complex, and (covariant) quaternion scalar products are found in the tensor product spaces. Annihilationcreation operators are constructed, corresponding to the second quantization of the quaternion quantum theory with Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics. The gauge transformations of a tensor product vector and the gauge fields are studied.On Sabbatical leave from the School of Physics and Astronomy, Raymond and Beverly Sackler Faculty of Exact Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel.
