M\"obius transformation for left-derivative quaternion holomorphic functions

Abstract

Holomorphic quaternion functions only admit affine functions; thus, the M\"obius transformation for these functions, which we call quaternionic holomorphic transformation (QHT), only comprises similarity transformations. We determine a general group X\mathsf{X} which has the group G\mathsf{G} of QHT as a particular case. Furthermore, we observe that the M\"obius group and the Heisenberg group may be obtained by making X\mathsf{X} more symmetric. We provide matrix representations for the group X\mathsf{X} and for its algebra x\mathfrak{x}. The Lie algebra is neither simple nor semi-simple, and so it is not classified among the classical Lie algebras. They prove that the group G\mathsf{G} comprises SU(2,C)\mathsf{SU}(2,\mathbb{C}) rotations, dilations and translations. The only fixed point of the QHT is located at infinity, and the QHT does not admit a cross-ratio. Physical applications are addressed at the conclusion.
