Abstract

For the quaternionic unit ball B\mathbb{B}, let us denote by M(B)\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B}) the set of slice regular M\"obius transformations mapping B\mathbb{B} onto itself. We introduce a smooth manifold structure on M(B)\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B}), for which the evaluation(-action) map of M(B)\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B}) on B\mathbb{B} is smooth. The manifold structure considered on M(B)\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B}) is obtained by realizing this set as a quotient of the Lie group Sp(1,1)\mathrm{Sp}(1,1), Furthermore, it turns out that B\mathbb{B} is a quotient as well of both M(B)\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B}) and Sp(1,1)\mathrm{Sp}(1,1). These quotients are in the sense of principal fiber bundles. The manifold M(B)\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{B}) is diffeomorphic to R4×S3\mathbb{R}^4 \times S^3.
