Winding number and homotopy for quaternionic curves

Mathematical Physics 2022-05-03 v1 math.MP

Abstract

Following a recent approach to quaternionic curves, we defined the quaternionic polar angle that enabled us to define global properties of quaternionic curves, namely the winding number and the homotopy concept. The results admit various applications, including further analogies to plane curves, and physical applications.
