Abstract

Quaternionic formulation of D=4 conformal group and of its associated twistors and their relation to harmonic analyticity is presented. Generalization of SL(2,C)SL(2,\cal{C}) to the D=4 conformal group SO(5,1) and its covering group SL(2,Q)SL(2,\cal{Q}) that generalizes the euclidean Lorentz group in R4R^4 [namely SO(3,1)SL(2,C)SO(3,1)\approx SL(2,\cal{C}) which allow us to obtain the projective twistor space CP3CP^3] is shown. Quasi-conformal fields are introduced in D=4 and Fueter mappings are shown to map self-dual sector onto itself (and similarly for the anti-self-dual part). Differentiation of Fueter series and various forms of differential operators are shown, establishing the equivalence of Fueter analyticity with twistor and harmonic analyticity. A brief discussion of possible octonion analyticity is provided.
