For a relativistic charged particle moving in a constant electromagnetic field, its velocity 4-vector has been well studied. However, despite the fact that both the electromagnetic field and the equations of motion are purely real, the…
Spinors are used in physics quite extensively. The goal of this study is also the spinor structure lying in the basis of the quaternion algebra. In this paper, first, we have introduced spinors mathematically. Then, we have defined…
Several completely integrable, indeed solvable, Hamiltonian many-body problems are exhibited, characterized by Newtonian equations of motion ("acceleration equal force"), with linear and cubic forces, in N-dimensional space (N being an…
Gravitomagnetic equations result from applying quaternionic differential operators to the energy-momentum tensor. These equations are similar to the Maxwell's EM equations. Both sets of the equations are isomorphic after changing…
The algebra of volume-preserving vector fields is considered. The potentials for that fields are introduced, and induced algebra of potentials is considered. It is shown, that this algebra fails to satisfy the Jacoby identity. Analogy with…
The earlier approach is used for description of qubits and geometric phase parameters, the things critical in the area of topological quantum computing. The used tool, Geometric (Clifford) Algebra is the most convenient formalism for that…
We discuss certain ternary algebraic structures appearing more or less naturally in various domains of theoretical and mathematical physics. Far from being exhaustive, this article is intended above all to draw attention to these algebras,…
The vectorial velocity is given as a function of the position of a particle in orbit when a Newtonian central force is supplemented by an inverse cubic force as in Newton's theorem on revolving orbits. Such expressions are useful in fitting…
In this paper, some real-world motivated examples are provided illustrating the power of linear algebra tools as the product of matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In this sense, some practical applications related to…
The quaternions form a 4-dimensional Cayley-Dickson algebra. In this paper, we introduce the Tetranacci and Tetranacci-Lucas quaternions. Furthermore, we present some properties of these quaternions and derive relationships between them.
This is an introduction to geometric algebra, an alternative to traditional vector algebra that expands on it in two ways: 1. In addition to scalars and vectors, it defines new objects representing subspaces of any dimension. 2. It defines…
Hurwitz algebras are unital composition algebras widely known in algebra and mathematical physics for their useful applications. In this paper, inspired by works of Lesenby and Hitzer, we show how to embed all seven Hurwitz algebras…
One of the important ways development takes place in mathematics is via a process of generalization. On the basis of a recent characterization of this process we propose a principle that generalizations of mathematical structures that are…
The effects of a beamsplitter are frequently described mathematically as a matrix acting on a two input ports vector. This might be comprehensive for a scalar field but certainly insufficient in case of photons which are vector fields. In…
It is well-known that the theories of semi-vector spaces and semi-algebras -- which were not much studied over time -- are utilized/applied in Fuzzy Set Theory in order to obtain extensions of the concept of fuzzy numbers as well as to…
The paper presents a classification of quadratic extension algebras, also known as algebras of degree 2, as well as several characterizations of quaternion algebras over a field (of characteristic not 2). The presentation is not restricted…
A new simple geometrical interpretation of complex numbers is presented. It differs from their usual interpretation as points in the complex plane. From the new point of view the complex numbers are rather operations on vectors than points.…
We discuss the relationship between quaternion algebras and quadratic forms with a focus on computational aspects. Our basic motivating problem is to determine if a given algebra of rank 4 over a commutative ring R embeds in the 2x2-matrix…
We argue that a certain distribution of matter in higher dimensions can provide the correct behaviour of gravity in four dimensions. Some explicit examples illustrating the idea are considered.
Following a previous proposition of quaternity spacetime for electronic orbitals in neon shell, this paper describes the geometrical course each electron takes as it oscillates harmonically within a certain quaternity space dimension and…
