This work proposes a unified theory of regularity in one hypercomplex variable: the theory of $T$-regular functions. In the special case of quaternion-valued functions of one quaternionic variable, this unified theory comprises…
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the spectral theories associated with the notions of holomorphicity in dimension greater than one. A first natural extension is the theory of several complex variables whose Cauchy formula is…
The concept of monogenic functions over real alternative $\ast$-algebras has recently been introduced to unify several classical monogenic (or regular) functions theories in hypercomplex analysis, including quaternionic, octonionic, and…
In [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 45 (2012)], while looking for spin chains that admit perfect state transfer, Vinet and Zhedanov found an apparently new sequence of orthogonal polynomials, that they called para-Krawtchouk polynomials, defined…
Slice-regular functions of a quaternionic variable have been studied extensively in the last 12 years, resulting, in many ways, quite close to classical holomorphic functions of a complex variable; indeed, there is a correspondence between…
In Lett. Math. Phys. 114, 54 (2024) and 115, 70 (2025), the author introduces what is presented as a novel method for determining whether a sequence of orthogonal polynomials is "classical", based solely on its initial recurrence…
The study of $\psi-$hyperholomorphic functions defined on domains in $\mathbb R^4$ with values in $\mathbb H$, namely null-solutions of the $\psi-$Fueter operator, is a topic which captured great interest in quaternionic analysis. This…
In the context of space-time block codes (STBCs), the theory of generalized quaternion and biquaternion algebras (i.e., tensor products of two quaternion algebras) over arbitrary base fields is presented, as well as quadratic form theoretic…
Motivated by a quaternionic formulation of quantum mechanics, we discuss quaternionic and complex linear differential equations. We touch only a few aspects of the mathematical theory, namely the resolution of the second order differential…
Quaternionic analysis relies heavily on results on functions defined on domains in $\mathbb R^4$ (or $\mathbb R^3$) with values in $\mathbb H$. This theory is centered around the concept of $\psi-$hyperholomorphic functions i.e.,…
A classification of ordinary differential equations and finite-difference equations in one variable having polynomial solutions (the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The method used is based on the spectral problem for a polynomial…
Here we follow the basic analysis that is common for real and complex variables and find how it can be applied to a quaternionic variable. Non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses obstacles for the usual manipulations; but we show…
The connection of (split-)division algebras with Clifford algebras and supersymmetry is investigated. At first we introduce the class of superalgebras constructed from any given (split-)division algebra. We further specify which real…
Let $d$ and $m$ be two distinct squarefree integers and $\mathcal{O}_K$ the ring of integers of the quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$. Denote by $ H_K(\alpha, m)$ a quaternion algebra over $K$, where $\alpha\in \mathcal{O}_K$. In…
This paper describes in detail how (discrete) quaternions - ie. the abstract structure of 3-D space - emerge from, first, the Void, and thence from primitive combinatorial structures, using only the exclusion and co-occurrence of otherwise…
In this paper, we lay the foundations of the theory of slice regular functions in several variables ranging in any real alternative $^*$-algebra, including quaternions, octonions and Clifford algebras. This theory is an extension of the…
We develop a numerical method for computing with orthogonal polynomials that are orthogonal on multiple, disjoint intervals for which analytical formulae are currently unknown. Our approach exploits the Fokas--Its--Kitaev Riemann--Hilbert…
This work studies the zeros of slice functions over the algebra of dual quaternions and it comprises applications to the problem of factorizing motion polynomials. The class of slice functions over an alternative $*$-algebra $A$ was defined…
Quaternions provide a unified algebraic and geometric framework for representing three-dimensional rotations without the singularities that afflict Euler-angle parametrisations. This article develops a pedagogical and conceptual analysis of…
In the early 80's S.-T. Yau posed the problem of establishing the rigidity of the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems. Approaches to this problem have involved the introduction of Lorentzian Busemann functions and the study of the geometry…
