Quantum theory can be formulated as a theory of operations, more specific, of complex represented operations from real Lie groups. Hilbert space eigenvectors of acting Lie operations are used as states or particles. The simplest simple Lie…
We present fast and accurate ways to normalize two and three dimensional vectors and quaternions and compute their length. Our approach is an adaptation of ideas used in the linear algebra library LAPACK, and we believe that the…
Circulant matrices play a central role in a recently proposed formulation of three-way data computations. In this setting, a three-way table corresponds to a matrix where each "scalar" is a vector of parameters defining a circulant. This…
Geometric (Clifford) algebra provides an efficient mathematical language for describing physical problems. We formulate general relativity in this language. The resulting formalism combines the efficiency of differential forms with the…
The use of complexified quaternions and $i$-complex geometry in formulating the Dirac equation allows us to give interesting geometric interpretations hidden in the conventional matrix-based approach.
Using the complex Klein-Gordon field as a model, we quantize the quaternionic scalar field in the real Hilbert space. The lagrangian formulation has accordingly been obtained, as well as the hamiltonian formulation, and the energy and…
We introduce the notion of quadri-algebras. These are associative algebras for which the multiplication can be decomposed as the sum of four operations in a certain coherent manner. We present several examples of quadri-algebras: the…
4-dimensional optics is here introduced axiomatically as the space that supports a Universal wave equation which is applied to the postulated Higgs field. Self-guiding of this field is shown to produce all the modes necessary to provide…
Based on a family of indefinite unitary representations of the diffeomorphism group of an oriented smooth $4$-manifold, a manifestly covariant $4$ dimensional and non-perturbative algebraic quantum field theory formulation of gravity is…
150 years after the discovery of quaternions, Hamilton's conjecture that quaternions are a fundamental language for physics is reevaluated and shown to be essentially correct, provided one admits complex numbers in both classical and…
Objects' rigid motions in 3D space are described by rotations and translations of a highly-correlated set of points, each with associated $x,y,z$ coordinates that real-valued networks consider as separate entities, losing information.…
New universal invariant operators are introduced in a class of geometries which include the quaternionic structures and their generalisations as well as 4-dimensional conformal (spin) geometries. It is shown that, in a broad sense, all…
In this paper, we introduce an algebra structure denoted by InvDer algebra whose which we twist an algebra thanks to an invertible derivation, where its inverse is also a derivation. We define InvDer Lie algebras, InvDer associated…
We present a comprehensive introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its practicality and power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism. We carefully develop this natural (Clifford) algebra of the Minkowski spacetime geometry,…
This paper describes a particularly didactic and transparent derivation of basic properties of the Lorentz group. The generators for rotations and boosts along an arbitrary direction, as well as their commutation relations, are written as…
A cohomology theory is proposed for the recently discovered heptagon relation -- an algebraic imitation of a 5-dimensional Pachner move 4--3. In particular, `quadratic cohomology' is introduced, and it is shown that it is quite nontrivial,…
We explain the use of dual quaternions to represent poses, twists, and wrenches.
In this article, we give the most genaral form of the quaternions algebra depending on 3-parameters. We define 3-parameter generalized quaternions (3PGQs) and study on various properties and applications. Firstly we present the definiton,…
It is shown that Einstein's equations on the brane can be received from the multi-dimensional vector field equations in pseudo-Euclidean space. The idea is based on the observation that the brane geometry can be equivalently described by…
Clifford geometric algebras of multivectors are introduced which exhibit a bilinear form which is not necessarily symmetric. Looking at a subset of bi-vectors in CL(K^{2n},B), we proof that theses elements generate the Hecke algebra…
