Formulas to calculate multivector exponentials in a base-free representation and in a orthonormal basis are presented for an arbitrary Clifford geometric algebra Cl(p,q). The formulas are based on the analysis of roots of characteristic…
Some connections between quadratic forms over the field of two elements, Clifford algebras of quadratic forms over the real numbers, real graded division algebras, and twisted group algebras will be highlighted. This allows to revisit real…
New expansionary and rotational quadratic forms are constructed for $E^n$-endomorphisms. Relations amongst the various eigenvalues, eigendirections and matrix invariants are established, including propositions on complexity and geometric…
Abelian varieties of dimension 2n on which a definite quaternion algebra acts are parametrized by symmetrical domains of dimension n(n-1)/2. Such abelian varieties have primitive Hodge classes in the middle dimensional cohomology group. In…
Hadron vertices for u, d, s quark flavours are formulated in terms of interacting composite strings. The vertices for emission of pi, K mesons and nucleons are presented.
This is part two of a series of four methodological papers on (bi)quaternions and their use in theoretical and mathematical physics: 1- Alphabetical bibliography, 2- Analytical bibliography, 3- Notations and terminology, and 4- Formulas and…
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…
The classical Hamilton equations are reinterpreted by means of complex analysis, in a non standard way. This suggests a natural extension of the Hamilton equations to the quaternionic case, extension which coincides with the one introduced…
This article provides a simple trigonometric method for determining how many roots of a quartic equation are real and how many are complex, without solving the equation. The approach replaces the quartic's classical discriminant -- a…
A cohomology theory is proposed for the recently discovered heptagon relation -- an algebraic imitation of a 5-dimensional Pachner move 4--3. In particular, `quadratic cohomology' is introduced, and it is shown that it is quite nontrivial,…
The u-invariant of a field is the supremum of the dimensions of anisotropic quadratic forms over the field. We define corresponding u-invariants for hermitian and generalised quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution in…
We study the class of all algebras that are isotopic to a Hurwitz algebra. Isomorphism classes of such algebras are shown to correspond to orbits of a certain group action. A complete, geometrically intuitive description of the category of…
In this article we study devlop some fundaments for a function theory in the 16-dimensional complexified octonions.
Linearized polynomials appear in many different contexts, such as rank metric codes, cryptography and linear sets, and the main issue regards the characterization of the number of roots from their coefficients. Results of this type have…
We construct the fcc (face centered cubic), bcc (body centered cubic) and sc (simple cubic) lattices as the root and the weight lattices of the affine Coxeter groups W(D3) and W(B3)=Aut(D3). The rank-3 Coxeter-Weyl groups describing the…
This is a survey of the geometry of complex cubic fourfolds with a view toward rationality questions. Topics include classical constructions of rational examples, Hodge structures and special cubic fourfolds, associated K3 surfaces and…
Landau's work on the singularities of Feynman diagrams suggests that they can only be of three types: either poles, logarithmic divergences, or the roots of quadratic polynomials. On the other hand, many Feynman integrals exist whose…
We provide a unified, elementary, topological approach to the classical results stating the continuity of the complex roots of a polynomial with respect to its coefficients, and the continuity of the coefficients with respect to the roots.…
G. Prasad and A. Rapinchuk asked if two quaternion division F -algebras that have the same subfields are necessarily isomorphic. The answer is known to be "no" for some very large fields. We prove that the answer is "yes" if F is an…
For any subfield K of the complex numbers which is not contained in an imaginary quadratic number field, we construct conjugate varieties whose algebras of K-rational (p,p)-classes are not isomorphic. This compares to the Hodge conjecture…
