We study geometric structures arising from Hermitian forms on linear spaces over real algebras beyond the division ones. Our focus is on the dual numbers, the split-complex numbers, and the split-quaternions. The corresponding geometric…

The geometry of the $q$-deformed line is studied. A real differential calculus is introduced and the associated algebra of forms represented on a Hilbert space. It is found that there is a natural metric with an associated linear connection…

Corresponding to a finite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H=n$, we define a geometric algebra $\gscript (H)$ with $\dim\sqbrac{\gscript (H)}=2^n$. The algebra $\gscript (H)$ is a Hilbert space that contains $H$ as a subspace. We…
