We consider surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature immersed in 3-dimensional manifolds, and we strengthen the compactness result of Labourie in the case where the ambient manifold is 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. This allows us to prove…
This preliminary report studies immersed surfaces of constant mean curvature in $H^3$ through their {\it adjusted Gauss maps} (as harmonic maps in $S^2$) and their {\it adjusted frames} in SU(2). Lawson's correspondence between Euclidean…
This is the first comprehensive introduction to the authors' recent attempts toward a better understanding of the global concepts behind spinor representations of surfaces in 3-space. The important new aspect is a quaternionic-valued…
We recall known and establish new properties of the Dieudonn\'e and Moore determinants of quaternionic matrices.Using these linear algebraic results we develop a basic theory of plurisubharmonic functions of quaternionic variables. Then we…
A four dimensional non-trivial extension of the Poincar\'e algebra different from supersymmetry is explicitly studied. Representation theory is investigated and an invariant Lagrangian is exhibited. Some discussion on the Noether theorem is…
In these notes we discuss some relations between complex analysis (derivatives of Cauchy integrals) and curvatures of curves and surfaces. In higher dimensions the Cauchy integrals are based on generalizations of complex analysis using…
We construct a sequence of compact, oriented, embedded, two-dimensional surfaces of genus one into Euclidean 3-space with prescribed, almost constant, mean curvature of the form $H(X)=1+{A}{|X|^{-\gamma}}$ for $|X|$ large, when $A<0$ and…
The authors obtained the classification theorem for Lagrangian H-umbilical submanifolds in quaternion Euclidean spaces using the idea of quaternion extensors.
The present study explores the behavior of quaternionic four-space algebra for subluminal and superluminal spaces. We formulate the generalized Lorentz transformations for quaternionic subluminal, superluminal, and their combined Minkowski…
We construct the quaternion algebra [10] "geometrically" by a three dimensional analogue of the classic two dimensional geometric description of the complex field. The algebraic description of the multiplication operation in three…
Numerous attempts have been made to replicate the success of complex-valued algebra in engineering and science to other hypercomplex domains such as quaternions, tessarines, biquaternions, and octonions. Perhaps, none have matched the…
The paper develops the fundamentals of quaternionic holomorphic curve theory. The holomorphic functions in this theory are conformal maps from a Riemann surface into the 4-sphere, i.e., the quaternionic projective line. Basic results such…
More than 150 years after their invention by Hamilton, quaternions are now widely used in the aerospace and computer animation industries to track the paths of moving objects undergoing three-axis rotations. It is shown here that they…
In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
Quaternions were appeared through Lagrangian formulation of mechanics in Symplectic vector space. Its general form was obtained from the Clifford algebra, and Frobenius' theorem, which says that "the only finite-dimensional real division…
We reformulate Special Relativity by a quaternionic algebra on reals. Using {\em real linear quaternions}, we show that previous difficulties, concerning the appropriate transformations on the $3+1$ space-time, may be overcome. This implies…
The quaternionic Calabi conjecture, posed by Alesker and Verbitsky \cite{Alesker-Verbitsky (2010)}, predicts that the quaternionic Monge-Amp\`ere equation can always be solved on any compact HKT manifold. Motivated by this conjecture, we…
The attitude space has been parameterized in various ways for practical purposes. Different representations gain preferences over others based on their intuitive understanding, ease of implementation, formulaic simplicity, and physical as…
A formal correspondence is established between the curvature theory of generalized implicit hypersurfaces, electromagnetism as expressed in terms of exterior differential systems, and thermodynamics. Starting with a generalized implicit…
New universal invariant operators are introduced in a class of geometries which include the quaternionic structures and their generalisations as well as 4-dimensional conformal (spin) geometries. It is shown that, in a broad sense, all…
