Frobenius' Theorem states that the algebra of quaternions $\mathbb H$ is, besides the fields of real and complex numbers, the only finite-dimensional real division algebra. We first give a short elementary proof of this theorem, then…

We investigate fibrations by non-hyperelliptic curves of arithmetic genus three and geometric genus one in characteristic two. Assuming that there is only one moving singularity and that its image in the Frobenius pullback of the fibration…

We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…

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…

For a bounded right linear operators $A$, in a right quaternionic Hilbert space $V_{\mathbb{H}}^{R}$, following the complex formalism, we study the Berberian extension $A^\circ$, which is an extension of $A$ in a right quaternionic Hilbert…

To construct ternary "quaternions" following Hamilton we must introduce two "imaginary "units, $q_1$ and $q_2$ with propeties $q_1^n=1$ and $q_2^m=1$. The general is enough difficult, and we consider the $m=n=3$. This case gives us the…

Let R be the polynomial ring in r variables over a field k, with maximal ideal M and let V denote a vector subspace of the space of degree-j homogeneous elements of R. We study three related algebras determined by V. The first is the…

We classify elliptic fibrations birational to a nonsingular, minimal cubic surface over a field of characteristic zero. Our proof is adapted to provide computational techniques for the analysis of such fibrations, and we describe an…

L.Huang [Linear Algebra Appl. 331 (2001) 21-30] gave a canonical form of a quaternion matrix $A$ with respect to consimilarity transformations $\tilde{S}^{-1}AS$ in which $S$ is a nonsingular quaternion matrix and $\tilde{h}:=a-bi+cj-dk$…

We indicate that Heron's formula (which relates the square of the area of a triangle to a quartic function of its edge lengths) can be interpreted as a scissors congruence in 4-dimensional space. In the process of demonstrating this, we…

We prove the conjectures on dimensions and characters of some quadratic algebras stated by B$.$L$.$Feigin. It turns out that these algebras are naturally isomorphic to the duals of the components of the bihamiltonian operad.

We study function fields of curves over a base field $K$ which is either a global field or a large field having a separable field extension of degree divisible by $4$. We show that, for any such function field, Hilbert's 10th Problem has a…

For H a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, we prove that every B(H) operator has a basis with respect to which its matrix representation has a universal block tridiagonal form with block sizes given by a simple…

For a number field $K$, an algebraic variety $X/K$ is said to have the Hilbert Property if $X(K)$ is not thin. We are going to describe some examples of algebraic varieties, for which the Hilbert Property is a new result. The first class of…

Let $S_g$ ($g\geq 2$) be a closed surface of genus $g$. Let $K$ be any real number field and $A$ be any quaternion algebra over $K$ such that $A\otimes_K\mathbb{R}\cong M_2(\mathbb{R})$. We show that there exists a hyperbolic structure on…

Hilbert volume is an invariant of real projective geometry. Polygons inscribed in polygons are considered for the real projective plane. The correspondence between Fock-Goncharov and Cartesian coordinates is examined. Degeneration and…

We give a geometrical criterion to determine when a quaternion algebra over the function field of a stable elliptic surface X is an Azumaya algebra over X.

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field, and fix a $q\in\mathbb{F}$. The $q$-deformed Heisenberg algebra $\mathcal{H}(q)$ is the unital associative algebra over $\mathbb{F}$ with generators $A$, $B$ and a relation which asserts that $AB - qBA$ is the…

We relate proper isometry classes of maximal lattices in a totally definite quaternary quadratic space (V,q) with trivial discriminant to certain equivalence classes of ideals in the quaternion algebra representing the Clifford invariant of…
