This paper describes the passage of light through a system of waveplates mathematically in terms of quaternions, an extension of the complex numbers, instead of the more usual Jones vectors and Jones matrices. Both the light beam and the…
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.…
Rotation representations are foundational in fields such as computer graphics, robotics, and machine learning, where precise and efficient modeling of 3D orientations is critical. This paper comprehensively investigates diverse…
It is an easily deduced fact that any four-component spin 1/2 state for a massive particle is a linear combination of pairs of two-component simultaneous rotation eigenstates, where `simultaneous' means the eigenspinors of a given pair…
This work is a natural continuation of our recent study in quantizing relativistic particles. There it was demonstrated that, by applying a consistent quantization scheme to a classical model of a spinless relativistic particle as well as…
We review the algebraic field theory based completely on a nonlinear generalization of the CR complex analiticity conditions to the noncommutative algebra of biquaternions. Any biquaternionic field possesses natural twistor structure and,…
Quaternion Dirac equation has been analyzed and its supersymetrization has been discussed consistently. It has been shown that the quaternion Dirac equation automatically describes the spin structure with its spin up and spin down…

Quaternionic quantum Hamiltonians describing nonrelativistic spin particles require the ambient physical space to have five dimensions. The quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 particle system characterised by a generic such Hamiltonian is worked…
A physical applicability of normed split-algebras, such as hyperbolic numbers, split-quaternions and split-octonions is considered. We argue that the observable geometry can be described by the algebra of split-octonions. In such a picture…
This paper revisits the little-known Gibbs-Rodrigues representation of rotations in a three-dimensional space and demonstrates a set of algorithms for handling it. In this representation the rotation is itself represented as a…
This is an addition to a series of papers [FL1, FL2, FL3, FL4], where we develop quaternionic analysis from the point of view of representation theory of the conformal Lie group and its Lie algebra. In this paper we develop split…

The theory of scale relativity provides a new insight into the origin of fundamental laws in physics. Its application to microphysics allows to recover quantum mechanics as mechanics on a non-differentiable (fractal) space-time. The…
It is shown that a simple continuity condition in the algebra of split octonions suffices to formulate a system of differential equations that are equivalent to the standard Dirac equations. In our approach the particle mass and…
Quaternions are an important tool to describe the orientation of a molecule. This paper considers the use of quaternions in matching two conformations of a molecule, in interpolating rotations, in performing statistics on orientational…
We revisit the subject exploring maps from the space of 4-spinors to 3+1 space-time that commute with the Lorentz transformation. All known mappings have a natural embedding in a higher five dimensional spacetime, and can be succinctly…
A basic theoretical framework is developed in which elementary particles have a component of their wave function extending into higher spatial dimensions. This model postulates an extension of the Schrodinger equation to include a 4th and…
In this note we consider the problem of local classification of Bonnet pairs of surfaces in 3-dimensional Minkowski space. We use split quaternions in a way similar to the use of quaternions in, arXiv:dg-ga/9610006, for the solution in…
The known equivalence of 8-dimensional chiral spinors and vectors, also referred to as triality, is discussed for (4+4)-space. Split octonionic representation of SO(4,4) and Spin(4,4) groups and the trilinear invariant form are explicitly…
