Geometric algebra is an optimal frame work for calculating with vectors. The geometric algebra of a space includes elements that represent all the its subspaces (lines, planes, volumes, ...). Conformal geometric algebra expands this…

We classify curvature-adapted real hypersurfaces $M$ of non-flat quaternionic space forms $\mathbb HP^m$ and $\mathbb HH^m$ that are of Chen type 2 in an appropriately defined (pseudo) Euclidean space of quaternion-Hermitian matrices, where…

From their inception, quaternions and their division algebra have proven to be advantageous in modelling rotation/orientation in three-dimensional spaces and have seen use from the initial formulation of electromagnetic filed theory through…

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…
