In this paper we develop a theory of slice regular functions on a real alternative algebra $A$. Our approach is based on a well--known Fueter's construction. Two recent function theories can be included in our general theory: the one of…
Quaternionic formulation of D=4 conformal group and of its associated twistors and their relation to harmonic analyticity is presented. Generalization of $SL(2,\cal{C})$ to the D=4 conformal group SO(5,1) and its covering group…
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…
This article is devoted to the investigation of structure of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Iterated wrap…
We derive the complete set of evolutions of chirality-odd twist-3 fragmentation functions at one-loop level. There are totally nine real twist-3 fragmentation functions, among which seven are independent. The renormalization-scale…
We give an explicit description of rational curves in the product of three copies of complex projective lines, which are transformed into twistor lines in M. Nagata's example of non-projective complete algebraic variety, viewed as the…
The foundation of spectral theory on the $S$-spectrum can be traced back to the quaternionic framework of quantum mechanics. The concept of $S$-spectrum for quaternionic operators emerged as the natural spectrum in slice hyperholomorphic…
The Kerr theorem is revisited as part of the twistor program in six dimensions. The relationship between pure spinors and integrable 3-planes is investigated. The real condition for Lorentzian spacetimes is seen to induce a projective…

This paper is intended to describe twistors via the paravector model of Clifford algebras and to relate such description to conformal maps in the Clifford algebra over R(4,1), besides pointing out some applications of the pure spinor…
It is known that the groups of Euclidean rotations in dimension 3 (isometries of $S^2$), general Lorentz transformations in dimension 4 (Hyperbolic isometries in dimension 3), and screw motions in dimension 3 can be represented by the…
We investigate the physics of the E-string theory and its compactifications as well as their applications to four-dimensional topology. In particular, we compute the partition function of the topologically twisted theory on $M_4\times T^2$,…
The criterion of differentiability of functions of quaternion variable is used as the basis of some algebraic field theory. Its necessary consequences are free Maxwell and Yang-Mills equations. The differentiability equations may be…
We give some characterizations of Lipschitz type spaces of slice regular functions in the unit ball of the skew field of quaternions with prescribed modulus of continuity.
This paper provides a conceptual study of the twisting procedure, which amounts to create functorially new differential graded Lie algebras, associative algebras or operads (as well as their homotopy versions) from a Maurer--Cartan element.…
This paper is concerned with a class of generalized slice Fueter-regular functions on arbitrary domains in O with local stem functions. Some classical theorems such as the maximum modulus principle will be generalized to our setting. Some…
Super twistor space admits a certain (super) complex structure deformation that preserves the Poincare subgroup of the symmetry group PSL(4|4) and depends on 10 parameters. In a previous paper [hep-th/0502076], it was proposed that in…
A crucial extension of quaternionic function theory to octonions is the concept of slice regular functions, introduced to handle holomorphic-like properties in a non-associative setting. In this paper, first we present a generalization of…
We find that the target space of two-dimensional (4,0) supersymmetric sigma models with torsion coupled to (4,0) supergravity is a QKT manifold, that is, a quaternionic K\"ahler manifold with torsion. We give four examples of geodesically…
