Quaternionic Kähler and Spin(7) metrics arising from quaternionic contact Einstein structures

We construct left-invariant quaternionic contact (qc) structures on Lie groups with zero and non-zero torsion and with non-vanishing quaternionic contact conformal curvature tensor, thus showing the existence of non-flat quaternionic contact manifolds. We prove that the product of the real line with a seven-dimensional manifold, equipped with a certain qc structure, has a quaternionic Kähler metric as well as a metric with holonomy contained in Spin(7). As a consequence, we determine explicit quaternionic Kähler metrics and Spin(7)-holonomy metrics, which seem to be new. Moreover, we give explicit non-compact eight dimensional almost quaternion hermitian manifolds that are not quaternionic Kähler with either a closed fundamental four form or fundamental two forms defining a differential ideal.

A FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTION FOR THE LAPLACE OPERATOR ON THE QUATERNIONIC HEISENBERG GROUP

In this paper, the author studies the Laplace operator on the quaternionic Heisenberg group, construct a fundamental solution for it and use this solution to prove the Lp-boundedness and the weak (1-1) boundedness of certain singular convolution operators on the quaternionic Heisenberg group.     

The moduli space of stable vector bundles over a real algebraic curve

We study the spaces of stable real and quaternionic vector bundles on a real algebraic curve. The basic relationship is established with unitary representations of an extension of \mathbbZ/2{\mathbb{Z}/2} by the fundamental group. By comparison with the space of real or quaternionic connections, some of the basic topological invariants of these spaces are calculated.     

On the equivalence of quaternionic contact structures

Following the Cartan’s original method of equivalence supported by methods of parabolic geometry, we provide a complete solution for the equivalence problem of quaternionic contact structures, that is, the problem of finding a complete system of differential invariants for two quaternionic contact manifolds to be locally diffeomorphic. This includes an explicit construction of the corresponding Cartan geometry and detailed information on all curvature components.     

Cubic formulas for computing the zeros of certain quaternionic polynomial

In this paper, we derive the explicit formulas for computing the zeros of certain cubic quaternionic polynomial. From these, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition to quaternionic cubic polynomial have a spherical zero, and some examples are also provided. Moreover, we will discuss some applications of the cubic quaternionic formulas. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the Navier–Stokes equations with free convection in three‐dimensional unbounded triangular channels

The quaternionic calculus is a powerful tool for treating the Navier–Stokes equations very elegantly and in a compact form, through the evaluation of two types of integral operators: the Teodorescu operator and the quaternionic Bergman projector. While the integral kernel of the Teodorescu transform is universal for all domains, the kernel function of the Bergman projector, called the Bergman kernel, depends on the geometry of the domain. In this paper, we use special variants of quaternionic‐holomorphic multiperiodic functions in order to obtain explicit formulas for unbounded three‐dimensional parallel plate channels, rectangular block domains and regular triangular channels.

Zonal Functions for the Unitary Groups and Applications to Hermitian Lattices

We study the decomposition of the space L²(Sⁿ⁻¹) under the actions of the complex and quaternionic unitary groups. We give an explicit basis for the space of zonal functions, which in the second case takes account of the action of the group of quaternions of norm 1. We derive applications to hermitian lattices.     

Asymptotics for Certain Harmonic Functions and the Martin Compactification on the Quaternionic Heisenberg Group

In this paper, we make the asymptotic estimates of the heat kernel for the quaternionic Heisenberg group in various cases. We also use these results to deduce the asymptotic estimates of certain harmonic functions on the quaternionic Heisenberg group. Moreover a Martin compactification of the quaternionic Heisenberg group is constructed, and we prove that the Martin boundary of this group is homeomorphic to the unit ball in the quaternionic field.     

Numerical Campedelli Surfaces Cannot have the Symmetric Group as the Algebraic Fundamental Group

The non-existence set forth in the title is proved. It is knownthat for numerical Campedelli surfaces the algebraic fundamentalgroup is of order 9 and that the dihedral group of order 8 cannotoccur. Therefore the quaternionic group is the only non-abelianalgebraic fundamental group in this range.     

A new theory of regular functions of a quaternionic variable

In this paper we develop the fundamental elements and results of a new theory of regular functions of one quaternionic variable. The theory we describe follows a classical idea of Cullen, but we use a more geometric formulation to show that it is possible to build a rather complete theory. Our theory allows us to extend some important results for polynomials in the quaternionic variable to the case of power series.     

On the tangential Cauchy‐Fueter operators on nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces in \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amssymb}\begin{document}\pagestyle{empty}${\mathbb {H}^2}$\end{document}

On quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {H}^2$, we find the explicit forms of tangential Cauchy‐Fueter operators and associated tangential Laplacians □_b. Then by using the Fourier transformation on the associated nilpotent Lie groups of step two, we construct the relative fundamental solutions to the tangential Laplacians and Szegö kernels on the nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces. It is different from the complex case that the quaternionic tangential structures on the nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {H}^2$ cannot be reduced to one standard model and the non‐homogeneous tangential Cauchy‐Fueter equations are solvable even in many convex cases.     

Conformal quaternionic contact curvature and the local sphere theorem

A tensor invariant is defined on a quaternionic contact manifold in terms of the curvature and torsion of the Biquard connection involving derivatives up to third order of the contact form. This tensor, called quaternionic contact conformal curvature, is similar to the Weyl conformal curvature in Riemannian geometry and to the Chern–Moser tensor in CR geometry. It is shown that a quaternionic contact manifold is locally quaternionic contact conformal to the standard flat quaternionic contact structure on the quaternionic Heisenberg group, or equivalently, to the standard 3-Sasakian structure on the sphere iff the quaternionic contact conformal curvature vanishes.
