Let $X(Q)=QC$ be a group, where $Q$ is a generalized quaternion group and $C$ is a cyclic group such that $Q\cap C=1$. In this paper, $X(Q)$ will be characterized and moreover, a complete classification for that will be given, provided $C$…
The Eulerian idempotents, first introduced for the symmetric group and later extended to all reflection groups, generate a family of representations called the Eulerian representations that decompose the regular representation. In Type $A$,…

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…
This dissertation is about The history of quaternions and their associated rotation groups as it relates to theoretical physics.
Square roots of complexified (complex) quaternions, namely, the Hamilton quaternion, coquaternion, nectorine, and conectorine are investigated. The isomorphisms between the complex quaternions and 3-dimensional multivectors of Clifford…

This paper is devoted to the specific class of pseudoconformal mappings of quaternion and octonion variables. Normal families of functions are defined and investigated. Four criteria of a family being normal are proven. Then groups of…
We give a geometric description of a certain class of epimorphisms between complex reflection groups. We classify these epimorphisms, which can be interpreted as ``morphisms'' between the diagrams symbolizing standard presentations by…
We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…
In these lectures, we discuss some well-known facts about Clifford algebras: matrix representations, Cartan's periodicity of 8, double coverings of orthogonal groups by spin groups, Dirac equation in different formalisms, spinors in $n$…
We construct three new families of fibrations $\pi : S \to B$ where $S$ is an algebraic complex surface and $B$ a curve that violate Xiao's conjecture relating the relative irregularity and the genus of the general fiber. The fibers of…
Quaternions provide a unified algebraic and geometric framework for representing three-dimensional rotations without the singularities that afflict Euler-angle parametrisations. This article develops a pedagogical and conceptual analysis of…
We investigate near-factorizations of nonabelian groups, concentrating on dihedral groups. We show that some known constructions of near-factorizations in dihedral groups yield equivalent near-factorizations. In fact, there are very few…
We introduce a new class of algebras over discrete valuation rings, called Kleinian 4-rings, which generalize the group algebra of the Kleinian 4-group. For these algebras we describe the lattices and their cohomologies. In the case of…
This paper is devoted to abelian varieties arising from generalized Legendre curves. In particular, we consider their corresponding Galois representations, periods, and endomorphism algebras. For certain one parameter families of…
Absract It is proposed that there exist, within a new $SU(2)^{'}$, a gauged discrete group $Q_6$ (the order 12 double dihedral group) acting as a family symmetry. This nonabelian finite group can explain hierarchical features of families,…
We study the algebras generated by restriction and induction operations on complex modules over dihedral groups. In the case where the orders of all dihedral groups involved are not divisible by four, we describe the relations, a basis, the…
