It is shown in this paper that, if $R$ is a Frobenius ring, then the quaternion ring $\mathcal{H}_{a,b}(R)$ is a Frobenius ring for all units $a,b \in R$. In particular, if $q$ is an odd prime power then $\mathcal{H}_{a,b}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is…

Deciding whether or not two polynomials have isomoprhic splitting fields over the rationals is the Field Isomorphism Problem. We consider polynomials of the form $f_n(x) = x^4-nx^3-6x^2+nx+1$ with $n \neq 3$ a positive integer and we let…

We establish an analytic Hasse principle for linear spaces of affine dimension m on a complete intersection over an algebraic field extension K of Q. The number of variables required to do this is no larger than what is known for the…

We provide an algorithm that, given any order $O$ in a quaternion algebra over a global field, computes representatives of all right equivalence classes of right $O$-ideals, including the non-invertible ones. The theory is developed for a…

Polynomial factorization and root finding are among the most standard themes of computational mathematics. Yet still, little has been done for polynomials over quaternion algebras, with the single exception of Hamiltonian quaternions for…

Using elementary linear algebra, this paper clarifies and proves some concepts about a recently introduced octonion-like associative division algebra over R. This octonion-like algebra is actually the same as the split-biquaternion algebra,…

The group algebras $kQ_{2^n}$ of the generalized quaternion groups $Q_{2^n}$ over fields $k$ which contain $\mathbb{F}_{2^{n-2}}$, are deformed to separable $k((t))$-algebras $[kQ_{2^n}]_t$. The dimensions of the simple components of…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a maximal order in the quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$ ramified at $p$ and $\infty$. We prove two theorems that allow us to recover the structure of $\mathcal{O}$ from limited information. The first says that for…

Quadratic descent of hermitian and skew hermitian forms over division algebras with involution of the first kind in arbitrary characteristic is investigated and a criterion, in terms of systems of quadratic forms, is obtained. A refined…

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…

Quantum theory may be formulated using Hilbert spaces over any of the three associative normed division algebras: the real numbers, the complex numbers and the quaternions. Indeed, these three choices appear naturally in a number of…

In this work we study quadratic Lie algebras that contain the Heisenberg Lie algebra $\h_m$ as an ideal. We give a procedure for constructing these kind of quadratic Lie algebras and prove that any quadratic Lie algebra $\g$ that contains…

Primes in the two complete associative normed division algebras C and H have affinities with structures seen in the standard model of particle physics. On the integers in the two algebras, there are two equivalence relations: a strong one,…

We consider the class of algebras of rank 4 equipped with a standard involution over an arbitrary base ring. In particular, we characterize quaternion rings, those algebras defined by the construction of the even Clifford algebra.

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$ and $K$ a division subring of $D$. In this paper, we show that a non-central normal subgroup $N$ of the multiplicative group $D^*$ is left algebraic over $K$ if and only if so is $D$ provided $F$…

There are four division algebras over $\mathbb{R}$, namely real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions, and octonions. Lack of commutativity and associativity make it difficult to investigate algebraic and geometric properties of octonions.…

Let ${\mathbb K}={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $m>1$ is a squarefree integer. Suppose that $0 < \theta< \pi $ has rational cosine, say $\cos (\theta)=s/r$ with $0< |s|<r$ and $\gcd(r,s)=1$. A positive…

In this paper, we prove some interesting identities, among average representation numbers (associated to definite quaternion algebras) and `degree' of Hecke correspondences on Shimura curves (associated to indefinite quaternion algebras).

Heisenberg groups over algebras with central involution and their automorphism groups are constructed. The complex quaternion group algebra over a prime field is used as an example. Its subspaces provide finite models for each of the real…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a quadratic extension. In this paper we study the $4$-rank of the class group $\text{Cl}(K(\sqrt{n}))$, where $n$ varies over squarefree rational integers. We show that for $100\%$ of squarefree $n$, the $4$-rank is…
