On quaternionic analysis for the Schrödinger operator with a particular potential and its relation with the Mathieu functions

It has been found recently that there exists a theory of functions with quaternionic values and in two real variables, which is determined by a Cauchy–Riemann‐type operator with quaternionic variable coefficients, and that is intimately related to the so‐called Mathieu equations. In this work, it is all explained as well as some basic facts of the arising quaternionic function theory. We establish analogues of the basic integral formulas of complex analysis such as Borel–Pompeiu's, Cauchy's, and so on, for this version of quaternionic function theory. This theory turns out to be in the same relation with the Schrödinger operator with special potential as the usual holomorphic functions in one complex variable, or quaternionic hyperholomorphic functions, or functions of Clifford analysis, are with the corresponding Laplace operator. Moreover, it is similar to that of α‐hyperholomorphic functions and the Helmholtz operator. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Algebraic techniques for least squares problem over generalized quaternion algebras: A unified approach in quaternionic and split quaternionic theory

This paper aims to present, in a unified manner, algebraic techniques for least squares problem in quaternionic and split quaternionic mechanics. This paper, by means of a complex representation and a real representation of a generalized quaternion matrix, studies generalized quaternion least squares (GQLS) problem, and derives two algebraic methods for solving the GQLS problem. This paper gives not only algebraic techniques for least squares problem over generalized quaternion algebras, but also a unification of algebraic techniques for least squares problem in quaternionic and split quaternionic theory.     

Skein construction of idempotents in Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras

We give skein theoretic formulas for minimal idempotents in the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras. These formulas are then applied to derive various known results needed in the construction of quantum invariants and modular categories. In particular, an elementary proof of the Wenzl formula for quantum dimensions is given. This proof does not use the representation theory of quantum groups and the character formulas.

Algebraic Method for Inequality Constrained Quaternion Least Squares Problem

In this paper, we introduce a kind of complex representation of quaternion matrices (or quaternion vectors) and quaternion matrix norms, study quaternionic least squares problem with quadratic inequality constraints (LSQI) by means of generalized singular value decomposition of quaternion matrices (GSVD), and derive a practical algorithm for finding solutions of the quaternionic LSQI problem in quaternionic quantum theory.     

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.     

Towards a quaternionic function theory linked with the Lamé's wave functions

Over the past few years, considerable attention has been given to the role played by the Lamé's Wave Functions (LWFs) in various problems of mathematical physics and mechanics. The LWFs arise via the method of separation of variables for the wave equation in ellipsoidal coordinates. The present paper introduces the Lamé's Quaternionic Wave Functions (LQWFs), which extend the LWFs to a non‐commutative framework. We show that the theory of the LQWFs is determined by the Moisil‐Theodorescu type operator with quaternionic variable coefficients. As a result, we explain the connections between the solutions of the Lamé's wave equation, on one hand, and the quaternionic hyperholomorphic and anti‐hyperholomorphic functions on the other. We establish analogues of the basic integral formulas of complex analysis such as Borel‐Pompeiu's, Cauchy's, and so on, for this version of quaternionic function theory. We further obtain analogues of the boundary value properties of the LQWFs such as Sokhotski‐Plemelj formulae, the ‐hyperholomorphic extension of a given Hölder function and on the square of the singular integral operator. We address all the text mentioned earlier and explore some basic facts of the arising quaternionic function theory. We conclude the paper showing that the spherical, prolate, and oblate spheroidal quaternionic wave functions can be generated as particular cases of the LQWFs.

Twisted Equivariant Matter

We show how general principles of symmetry in quantum mechanics lead to twisted notions of a group representation. This framework generalizes both the classical threefold way of real/complex/ quaternionic representations as well as a corresponding tenfold way which has appeared in condensed matter and nuclear physics. We establish a foundation for discussing continuous families of quantum systems. Having done so, topological phases of quantum systems can be defined as deformation classes of continuous families of gapped Hamiltonians. For free particles, there is an additional algebraic structure on the deformation classes leading naturally to notions of twisted equivariant K-theory. In systems with a lattice of translational symmetries, we show that there is a canonical twisting of the equivariant K-theory of the Brillouin torus. We give precise mathematical definitions of two invariants of the topological phases which have played an important role in the study of topological insulators. Twisted equivariant K-theory provides a finer classification of topological insulators than has been previously available.     

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.     

Cauchy Integral Formulae in Quaternionic Hermitean Clifford Analysis

The theory of complex Hermitean Clifford analysis was developed recently as a refinement of Euclidean Clifford analysis; it focusses on the simultaneous null solutions, called Hermitean monogenic functions, of two Hermitean Dirac operators constituting a splitting of the traditional Dirac operator. In this function theory, the fundamental integral representation formulae, such as the Borel?CPompeiu and the Clifford?CCauchy formula have been obtained by using a (2 ×?2) circulant matrix formulation. In the meantime, the basic setting has been established for so-called quaternionic Hermitean Clifford analysis, a theory centred around the simultaneous null solutions, called q-Hermitean monogenic functions, of four Hermitean Dirac operators in a quaternionic Clifford algebra setting. In this paper we address the problem of establishing a quaternionic Hermitean Clifford?CCauchy integral formula, by following a (4?× 4) circulant matrix approach.

On the Hilbert formulas on the unit sphere for the time-harmonic relativistic Dirac bispinors theory

In this paper there are established some analogues of the Hilbert formulas on the unit sphere for the theory of time-harmonic (monochromatic) relativistic Dirac bispinors. The formulas relate a pair of the components of the limit value of a time-harmonic Dirac bispinor in the unit ball to the other pair of components. The obtained results are based on the intimate connection between time-harmonic solutions of the relativistic Dirac equation and the three-dimensional α-hyperholomorphic function theory. Hilbert formulas for α-hyperholomorphic function theory for α being a complex quaternionic number are also presented, such formulas relate a pair of components of the boundary value of an α-hyperholomorphic function in the unit ball to the other pair of components, in an analogy with what is known for the case of the theory of functions of one complex variable.     

Quaternionic spherical wave functions

The scalar spherical wave functions (SWFs) are solutions to the scalar Helmholtz equation obtained by the method of separation of variables in spherical polar coordinates. These functions are complete and orthogonal over a sphere, and they can, therefore, be used as a set of basis functions in solving boundary value problems by spherical wave expansions. In this work, we show that there exists a theory of functions with quaternionic values and of three real variables, which is determined by the Moisil–Theodorescu‐type operator with quaternionic variable coefficients, and which is intimately related to the radial, angular and azimuthal wave equations. As a result, we explain the connections between the null solutions of these equations, on one hand, and the quaternionic hyperholomorphic and anti‐hyperholomorphic functions, on the other. We further introduce the quaternionic spherical wave functions (QSWFs), which refine and extend the SWFs. Each function is a linear combination of SWFs and products of ‐hyperholomorphic functions by regular spherical Bessel functions. We prove that the QSWFs are orthogonal in the unit ball with respect to a particular bilinear form. Also, we perform a detailed analysis of the related properties of QSWFs. We conclude the paper establishing analogues of the basic integral formulae of complex analysis such as Borel–Pompeiu's and Cauchy's, for this version of quaternionic function theory. As an application, we present some plot simulations that illustrate the results of this work. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Two Novel Algebraic Techniques for Quaternion Least Squares Problems in Quaternionic Quantum Mechanics

Quaternion least squares (QLS) problem is one method of solving overdetermined sets of quaternion linear equations \({AX \approx B}\) and \({AXC \approx B}\) that are appropriate when there are errors in the matrix B. This paper, by means of complex representation and real representation of a quaternion matrix, studies the QLS problems, and derives two new algebraic techniques for finding solutions of the QLS problem in quaternionic quantum mechanics.     

Theory of several paravector variables: Bochner-Martinelli formula and Hartogs theorem

The aim of this article is to extend the theory of several complex variables to the non-commutative realm. Some basic results, such as the Bochner-Martinelli formula, the existence theorem of the solutions to the non-homogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equations, and the Hartogs theorem, are generalized from complex analysis in several variables to Clifford analysis in several paravector variables. In particular, the Bochner-Martinelli formula in several paravector variables unifies the corresponding formulas in the theory of one complex variable, several complex variables, and several quaternionic variables with suitable modifications.     

Some Results on the Lattice Parameters of Quaternionic Gabor Frames

Gabor frames play a vital role not only in modern harmonic analysis but also in several fields of applied mathematics, for instances, detection of chirps, or image processing. In this work we present a non-trivial generalization of Gabor frames to the quaternionic case and give new density results. The key tool is the two-sided windowed quaternionic Fourier transform (WQFT). As in the complex case, we want to write the WQFT as an inner product between a quaternion-valued signal and shifts and modulates of a real-valued window function. We demonstrate a Heisenberg uncertainty principle and for the results regarding the density, we employ the quaternionic Zak transform to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that a quaternionic Gabor system is a quaternionic Gabor frame. We conclude with a proof that the Gabor conjecture does not hold true in the quaternionic case.

The Ground State Energy of the Massless Spin-Boson Model

We provide an explicit combinatorial expansion for the ground state energy of the massless spin-Boson model as a power series in the coupling parameter. Our method uses the technique of cluster expansion in constructive quantum field theory and takes as a starting point the functional integral representation and its reduction to an Ising model on the real line with long range interactions. We prove the analyticity of our expansion and provide an explicit lower bound on the radius of convergence. We do not need multiscale nor renormalization group analysis. A connection to the loop-erased random walk is indicated.
