Sharper uncertainty principles in quaternionic Hilbert spaces

The uncertainty principle for quaternionic linear operators in quaternionic Hilbert spaces is established, which generalizes the result of Goh-Micchelli. It turns out that there appears an additional term given by a commutator that reflects the feature of quaternions. The result is further strengthened when one operator is self-adjoint, which extends under weaker conditions the uncertainty principle of Dang-Deng-Qian from complex numbers to quaternions. In particular, our results are applied to concrete settings related to quaternionic Fock spaces, quaternionic periodic functions, quaternion Fourier transforms, quaternion linear canonical transforms, and nonharmonic quaternion Fourier transforms.     

Linear Quaternionic Equations and Their Systems

The general linear quaternionic equation with one unknown and systems of linear quaternionic equations with two unknown are solved. Examples of equations and their systems are considered.     

Almost hyper-Hermitian structures in bundle spaces over manifolds with almost contact 3-structure

We consider almost hyper-Hermitian structures on principal fibre bundles with one-dimensional fiber over manifolds with almost contact 3-structure and study relations between the respective structures on the total space and the base. This construction suggests the definition of a new class of almost contact 3-structure, which we called trans-Sasakian, closely connected with locally conformal quaternionic Kähler manifolds. Finally we give a family of examples of hypercomplex manifolds which are not quaternionic Kähler.     

Real matrix representations of complex split quaternions with applications

In this paper, we introduce 8×8 real matrix representations of complex split quaternions. Then, the relations between real matrix representations of split and complex split quaternions are stated. Moreover, we investigate some linear split and complex split quaternionic equations with split Fibonacci and complex split Fibonacci quaternion coefficients. Finally, we also give some numerical examples as applications of real matrix representation of complex split quaternions.     

Quaternionic analysis, representation theory and physics

We develop quaternionic analysis using as a guiding principle representation theory of various real forms of the conformal group. We first review the Cauchy-Fueter and Poisson formulas and explain their representation theoretic meaning. The requirement of unitarity of representations leads us to the extensions of these formulas in the Minkowski space, which can be viewed as another real form of quaternions. Representation theory also suggests a quaternionic version of the Cauchy formula for the second order pole. Remarkably, the derivative appearing in the complex case is replaced by the Maxwell equations in the quaternionic counterpart. We also uncover the connection between quaternionic analysis and various structures in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, such as the spectrum of the hydrogen atom, polarization of vacuum, one-loop Feynman integrals. We also make some further conjectures. The main goal of this and our subsequent paper is to revive quaternionic analysis and to show profound relations between quaternionic analysis, representation theory and four-dimensional physics.     

Description of periodic p-harmonic functions on Cayley tree

We show that any periodic (with respect to normal subgroups of finite index of the group representation of the Cayley tree) p-harmonic function on a Cayley tree is a constant. For some normal subgroups of infinite index we describe a class of (non-constant) periodic p-harmonic functions. We also prove that linear combinations of the p-harmonic functions described for normal subgroups of infinite index are also p-harmonic.

The fundamental theorem of algebra for Hamilton and Cayley numbers

In this paper we prove the fundamental theorem of algebra for polynomials with coefficients in the skew field of Hamilton numbers (quaternions) and in the division algebra of Cayley numbers (octonions). The proof, inspired by recent definitions and results on regular functions of a quaternionic and of a octonionic variable, follows the guidelines of the classical topological argument due to Gauss. G. Gentili and F. Vlacci are partially supported by G.N.S.A.G.A. of the I.N.D.A.M. and by M.I.U.R.     

Two sufficient conditions for non-normal Cayley graphs and their applications

A Cayley graph Cay(G, S) on a group G is said to be normal if the right regular representation R(G) of G is normal in the full automorphism group of Cay(G, S). In this paper, two sufficient conditions for non-normal Cayley graphs are given and by using the conditions, five infinite families of connected non-normal Cayley graphs are constructed. As an application, all connected non-normal Cayley graphs of valency 5 on A5 are determined, which generalizes a result about the normality of Cayley graphs of valency 3 or 4 on A5 determined by Xu and Xu. Further, we classify all non-CI Cayley graphs of valency 5 on A5, while Xu et al. have proved that As is a 4-CI group.

Plurisubharmonic functions on hypercomplex manifolds and HKT-geometry

A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with a triple of complex structures I, J, K satisfying the quaternionic relations. We define a quaternionic analogue of plurisubharmonic functions on hypercomplex manifolds, and interpret these functions geometrically as potentials of HKT (hyperkähler with torsion) metrics. We prove a quaternionic analogue of A. D. Aleksandrov and ChernLevine-Nirenberg theorems.     

Clifford systems, algebraically constant second fundamental form and isoparametric hypersurfaces

In this paper we prove that a submanifold with parallel mean curvature of a space of constant curvature, whose second fundamental form has the same algebraic type as the one of a symmetric submanifold, is locally symmetric. As an application, using properties of Clifford systems, we give a short and alternative proof of a result of Cartan asserting that a compact isoparametric hypersurface of the sphere with three distinct principal curvatures is a tube around the Veronese embedding of the real, complex, quaternionic or Cayley projective planes.

Quaternionic triangular linear operators

Triangular operators are an essential tool in the study of nonselfadjoint operators that appear in different fields with a wide range of applications. Although the development of a quaternionic counterpart for this theory started at the beginning of this century, the lack of a proper spectral theory combined with problems caused by the underlying noncommutative structure prevented its real development for a long time. In this paper, we give criteria for a quaternionic linear operator to have a triangular representation, namely, under which conditions such operators can be represented as a sum of a diagonal operator with a Volterra operator. To this effect, we investigate quaternionic Volterra operators based on the quaternionic spectral theory arising from the S-spectrum. This allow us to obtain conditions when a non-selfadjoint operator admits a triangular representation.     

t-Balanced Cayley maps of dihedral groups

A Cayley map is an embedding of a Cayley graph where the cyclic ordering of generators around every vertex is the same. The involution indicating the position of mutually inverse generators in the cyclic ordering is called the distribution of inverses of a Cayley map. The Cayley maps whose distribution of inverses is linear (modulo the degree of the map) with 'slope' t are called t-balanced. An exponent of a Cayley map is a number e with the property that, roughly speaking, the Cayley map is isomorphic to its 'e-fold rotational image'.In the contribution we present results related to the construction of t-balanced Cayley maps which are not regular and do not have t as an exponent.     

Windowed Fourier transform of two-dimensional quaternionic signals

In this paper, we generalize the classical windowed Fourier transform (WFT) to quaternion-valued signals, called the quaternionic windowed Fourier transform (QWFT). Using the spectral representation of the quaternionic Fourier transform (QFT), we derive several important properties such as reconstruction formula, reproducing kernel, isometry, and orthogonality relation. Taking the Gaussian function as window function we obtain quaternionic Gabor filters which play the role of coefficient functions when decomposing the signal in the quaternionic Gabor basis. We apply the QWFT properties and the (right-sided) QFT to establish a Heisenberg type uncertainty principle for the QWFT. Finally, we briefly introduce an application of the QWFT to a linear time-varying system.     

On the determinant of quaternionic polynomial matrices and its application to system stability

In this paper, we propose a definition of determinant for quaternionic polynomial matrices inspired by the well‐known Dieudonné determinant for the constant case. This notion allows to characterize the stability of linear dynamical systems with quaternionic coefficients, yielding results which generalize the ones obtained for the real and complex cases.

On some notions of spectra for quaternionic operators and for n-tuples of operators

The S-spectrum has been introduced for the definition of the S-functional calculus that includes both the quaternionic functional calculus and a calculus for n-tuples of nonnecessarily commuting operators. The notion of right spectrum for right linear quaternionic operators has been widely used in the literature, especially in the context of quaternionic quantum mechanics. Moreover, several results in linear algebra, like the spectral theorem for quaternionic matrices, involve the right spectrum. In this Note we prove that the two notions of S-spectrum and of right spectrum coincide.     

Cohomogeneity one actions on noncompact symmetric spaces of rank one

We classify, up to orbit equivalence, all cohomogeneity one actions on the hyperbolic planes over the complex, quaternionic and Cayley numbers, and on the complex hyperbolic spaces , . For the quaternionic hyperbolic spaces , , we reduce the classification problem to a problem in quaternionic linear algebra and obtain partial results. For real hyperbolic spaces, this classification problem was essentially solved by Élie Cartan.
