Typically, airborne laserscanning includes a laser mounted on an airplane or drone (its pulsed beam direction can scan in flight direction and perpendicular to it) an intertial positioning system of gyroscopes, and a global navigation satellite system. The data, relative orientation and relative distance of these three systems are combined in computing strips of ground surface point locations in an

We describe a possibility for geometric calculation of specific conics’ intersections in Geometric Algebra for Conics (GAC) using its operations that may be expressed as sums of products. The advantage is that no solver for a system of quadratic equations is needed and thus no numerical error is involved. We also describe specific conics connected to intersections of conics in a general mutual position

In this paper, we study the (anti-)self-duality equations \(*F\wedge F=\pm F\wedge F\) in the eight-dimensional Euclidean space. Using properties of the Clifford algebra \(Cl_{0,8}({\mathbb {R}})\), we find a new solution to these equations.

This work is intended as an attempt to extend the notion of bialgebra for Lie algebras to Leibniz algebras and also, the correspondence between the Leibniz bialgebras and its dual is investigated. Moreover, the coboundary Leibniz bialgebras, the classical r-matrices, and Yang–Baxter equations related to the Leibniz algebras are defined, and some examples are given. Finally, a method for the construction

In this paper, we study the quaternion matrix equation (1.1) by using the semi-tensor product of matrices. First, we propose a real vector representation of a quaternion matrix and study its properties. Then combining this real vector representation with semi-tensor product of matrices, the explicit expressions of the least squares solution, the least squares J-self-conjugate solution and the least

An Adinkra is a graph from the study of supersymmetry in particle physics, but it can be adapted to study Clifford algebra representations. The graph in this context is called a Cliffordinkra, and puts some standard ideas in Clifford algebra representations in a geometric and visual context. In the past few years there have been developments in Adinkras that have shown how they are connected to error

We propose a gauge model with the SU(2) symmetry, which describes a gravitational interaction of fundamental fermions (leptons and quarks) in the Minkowski space. In the Standard Model one uses a Dirac–Yang–Mills system of equations with U(2) gauge symmetry for electroweak interactions and with SU(3) gauge symmetry for QCD interactions. A key idea of the model is to use the Dirac-type equation (invented

We extend the special affine Fourier transform in the context of quaternion valued functions and study its properties including an uncertainty principle. The same transform is studied on a suitably constructed Boehmian space.

In this paper, we define and classify split quaternion operators. Then, we show that the split quaternion product of a split quaternion operator and a curve, which lies on Lorentzian unit sphere or on hyperbolic unit sphere, parametrizes a ruled surface in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space \(\mathbb {E}_{1}^{3}\) if the vector part of the operator is perpendicular to the position vector of the spherical

As an integral representation for holomorphic functions, Cauchy integral formula plays a significant role in the function theory of one complex variable and several complex variables. In this paper, using the idea of several complex analysis we construct the Cauchy kernel in universal Clifford analysis, which has generalized complex differential forms with universal Clifford basic vectors. We establish

In this article we construct and discuss several aspects of the two-component spinorial formalism for six-dimensional spacetimes, in which chiral spinors are represented by objects with two quaternionic components and the spin group is identified with \(SL(2,\mathbb {H})\), which is a double covering for the Lorentz group in six dimensions. We present the fundamental representations of this group and

The Sylvester equation and its particular case, the Lyapunov equation, are widely used in image processing, control theory, stability analysis, signal processing, model reduction, and many more. We present basis-free solution to the Sylvester equation in Clifford (geometric) algebra of arbitrary dimension. The basis-free solutions involve only the operations of Clifford (geometric) product, summation

Principal angles are used to define an angle bivector of subspaces, which fully describes their relative inclination. Its exponential is related to the Clifford geometric product of blades, gives rotors connecting subspaces via minimal geodesics in Grassmannians, and decomposes giving Plücker coordinates, projection factors and angles with various subspaces. This leads to new geometric interpretations

Classical Segal–Bargmann theory studies three Hilbert space unitary isomorphisms that describe the wave-particle duality and the configuration space-phase space. In this work, we generalized these concepts to Clifford algebra-valued functions. We establish the unitary isomorphisms among the space of Clifford algebra-valued square-integrable functions on \(\mathbb {R}^n\) with respect to a Gaussian

In this paper we summarize some known facts on slice topology in the quaternionic case, and we deepen some of them by proving new results and discussing some examples. We then show, following Dou et al. (A representation formula for slice regular functions over slice-cones in several variables, arXiv:2011.13770, 2020), how this setting allows us to generalize slice analysis to the general case of functions

Combinatorial properties of zeons have been applied to graph enumeration problems, graph colorings, routing problems in communication networks, partition-dependent stochastic integrals, and Boolean satisfiability. Power series of elementary zeon functions are naturally reduced to finite sums by virtue of the nilpotent properties of zeons. Further, the zeon extension of any analytic complex function

This paper derives a linear, first-order, partial differential field equation (a Dirac-like equation) in the geometric calculus of the geometric algebra \({\mathcal {G}}_{4,1}\) that has free plane-wave solutions distinct from one another that correspond to the left and right chiral states of the electron and the neutrino. Besides the usual spacetime dependence of plane waves, the solutions have a

The k-Cauchy–Fueter operator is an Euclidean version of the helicity k/2 massless field equations on affine Minkowski space. In this article, a version of Schwarz lemma associated to the k-Cauchy–Fueter is established by applying Bochner–Martinelli formula. The constant in Schwarz lemma is sharper than the former results when \(n = 1,k = 1\), the methods in Schwarz lemma may not only apply to the explicit

In this paper, we present the development of fractional bicomplex calculus in the Riemann–Liouville sense, based on the modification of the Cauchy–Riemann operator using the one-dimensional Riemann–Liouville derivative in each direction of the bicomplex basis. We introduce elementary functions such as analytic polynomials, exponential, trigonometric, and some properties of these functions. Furthermore

The main objective of this work is to show how to construct a ternary \({\mathbb {Z}}_3\)-graded Clifford algebra on two generators by using a group algebra of an extra-special 3-group G of order 27. The approach used is an extension of the method implemented to classify \({\mathbb {Z}}_2\)-graded Clifford algebras as images of group algebras of Salingaros 2-groups [2]. We will show how non-equivalent

On various occasions, when working with quaternionic linear spaces, there is a need to restrict them to their complex linear structure, then it becomes essential to understand whether the pre-existing internal product or norm in the quaternionic space will continue to be compatible with the complex structure of the new space obtained. There are other situations in which these types of questions arise

This paper extends approach of our recent paper together with Kähler to building special classes of exact solutions of the static Maxwell system in inhomogeneous isotropic media by means of different generalizations of the Cauchy–Riemann system with variable coefficients. A new class of three-dimensional solutions of the static Maxwell system in some special cylindrically layered media is obtained

Clifford algebras are used for constructing spin groups, and are therefore of particular importance in the theory of quantum mechanics. An algebraist’s perspective on the many subgroups and subalgebras of Clifford algebras may suggest ways in which they might be applied more widely to describe the fundamental properties of matter. I do not claim to build a physical theory on top of the fundamental

Conformal geometric algebra (CGA) is a framework that allows the representation of objects, such as points, planes and spheres, and deformations, such as translations, rotations and dilations as uniform vectors, called multivectors. In this work, we demonstrate the merits of multivector usage with a novel, integrated rigged character simulation framework based on CGA. In such a framework, and for the

Recent work has shown that every 3D root system allows the construction of a corresponding 4D root system via an ‘induction theorem’. In this paper, we look at the icosahedral case of \(H_3\rightarrow H_4\) in detail and perform the calculations explicitly. Clifford algebra is used to perform group theoretic calculations based on the versor theorem and the Cartan–Dieudonné theorem, giving a simple

The paper gives a new representation of conformal groups in n dimensions in terms of hyperquaternions defined as tensor products of quaternion algebras (or a subalgebra thereof). Being Clifford algebras, hyperquaternions provide a good representation of pseudo-orthogonal groups such as \(O(p+1,q+1)\) isomorphic to the nD conformal group with \(n=p+q.\) The representation yields simple expressions of

Several topological methods have been used successfully in the study of the hypercomplex analysis; for example, in the theory of functions of several complex variables (Grauert et al., in: Encyclopaedia of mathematical science, vol. 74, Springer, 1991, Hirzebruch, in: Topological methods in algebraic geometry, Classics in Mathematics. Reprint of the 1978 Edition. Springer, Berlin, 1995, Krantz, in

Let \((g,~[-,-],~\omega )\) be a finite-dimensional complex \(\omega \)-Lie superalgebra. In this paper, we introduce the notions of derivation superalgebra \({\mathrm{Der}}(g)\) and the automorphism group \({\mathrm{Aut}}(g)\) of \((g,~[-,-],~\omega )\). We study \({\mathrm{Der}}^{\omega }(g)\) and \({\mathrm{Aut}}^{\omega }(g)\), which are superalgebra of \({\mathrm{Der}}(g)\) and subgroup of \({\mathrm{Aut}}(g)\)

In this paper, we complement some recent results of L. Márki, J. Meyer, J. Szigeti and L. van Wyk, by investigating the constant-trace representations of a Clifford algebra \(C(V)\) of an arbitrary quadratic form \(q:V\rightarrow F\) (possibly degenerate) and we present some relevant applications. In particular, the existence of the polynomial identities of \(C(V)\) of particular form when the characteristic

Previously we have shown that the algebra $$\begin{aligned} J_3 [{\mathbb {C}}\otimes {\mathbb {O}}] \otimes C \ell (4,{\mathbb {C}}), \end{aligned}$$ given by the tensor product of the complex exceptional Jordan \(J_3 [{\mathbb {C}}\otimes {\mathbb {O}}]\) and the complex Clifford algebra \(C \ell (4,{\mathbb {C}})\), can describe all of the spinorial degrees of freedom of three generations of fermions

Alternative versions of the energy–momentum complex in general relativity are given compact new formulations with spacetime algebra. A new unitary form for Einstein’s equation greatly simplifies the derivation and analysis of gravitational superpotentials. Interpretation of Einstein’s equations as a gauge field theory on flat spacetime is shown to resolve ambiguities in energy–momentum conservation

This paper deals with the inframonogenic functions which are solutions of the sandwich equation \(DfD=0\), where D is the Dirac operator in \({\mathbb {R}}^n\). The inframonogenic functions plays an important role in Fischer decomposition for homogeneous polynomials and applications in elasticity theory. In this paper we introduce a general structure of the inframonogenic functions in star-like domains

In this paper, we study relationships between generalized derivations, quasiderivations and centroids of ternary Jordan superalgebra. We prove that the generalized derivation algebras of a ternary Jordan superalgebra are the sum of quasiderivation algebras and centroids where centroids are ideals of generalized derivation algebras. We also show that quasiderivations can be embedded into larger ternary

We introduce three kinds of new weighted quaternion-matrix minimization problems in order to extend some well-known constrained approximation problems. The main result is the claim that these new minimization problems have unique solutions which are expressed in terms of expressions involving weighted core-EP inverse and its dual for adequate quaternion matrices. Also, determinantal expressions of

This paper outlines an approach for studying operators on stratified spaces \(M \in \mathfrak {M}_k\) with regular singularities of higher order k. Smoothness corresponds to \(k=0.\) Manifolds with smooth boundaries belong to the category \(\mathfrak {M}_1.\) The case \(k=1\) generally indicates conical or edge singularities. Boutet de Monvel’s algebra of boundary value problems (BVPs) with the transmission

In this paper we prove Clarkson-type and Nash-type inequalities in the (right-sided) Quaternion Linear Canonical transform (QLCT) for \(L^p\)-functions. Next, we show Heisenberg-type inequalities and Matolcsi–Szücs-type inequality for the QLCT. Finally, we deduce local-type uncertainty inequalities for the Quaternion Linear Canonical transform.

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the spectral theories associated with the notions of holomorphicity in dimension greater than one. A first natural extension is the theory of several complex variables whose Cauchy formula is used to define the holomorphic functional calculus for n-tuples of operators \((A_1,\ldots ,A_n)\). A second way is to consider hyperholomorphic functions of quaternionic

We give a proof of the fact that the third cohomology group \(H^3_\alpha (L,M)\) of the Hom–Lie algebra \((L,\alpha _L)\) with coefficients in the Hom-L-module \((M,\alpha _M)\) is in bijection to the set \({{\,\mathrm{{\mathrm {Ext}}}\,}}^2_\alpha (L,M)\) of the equivalence classes of \(\alpha \)-crossed module extensions of \((L,\alpha _L)\) by \((M,\alpha _M)\).

This article is based on a talk given by the author at the 12th International Conference on Clifford Algebras and their Applications in Mathematical Physics. A generalization, introduced by Cassidy and the author, of a classical Clifford algebra is discussed together with connections between that generalization and a generalization of a graded Clifford algebra. A geometric approach to studying the

The well-known quaternion algebra is a four-dimensional natural extension of the field of complex numbers and plays a significant role in various aspects of signal processing, particularly for representing signals wherein several instincts are to be controlled simultaneously. For efficient analysis of such quaternionic signals, we introduce the notion of linear canonical wavelet transform in quaternion

Carroll’s group is presented as a group of transformations in a 5-dimensional space (\(\mathcal {C}\)) obtained by embedding the Euclidean space into a (4,1)-de Sitter space. Three of the five dimensions of \(\mathcal {C}\) are related to \(\mathcal {R}^3\), and the other two to mass and time. A covariant formulation of Caroll’s group, analogous as introduced by Takahashi to Galilei’s group, is deduced

In this paper, inverses of matrices over zeon algebras are discussed and methods of computation are presented. As motivation the zeon combinatorial Laplacian of a simple finite graph is defined, and its inverse is shown to enumerate paths and cycles in its associated graph.

A robotic manipulator is a networked assemblage of kinematic pairs, mobile platform(s) and/or tool(s) that generate motion and forces at its end-effector. A manipulator’s theoretical dynamic, kinematic and workspace capabilities are governed by the design parameters (mass, geometry, dimensions, etc.) of its kinematic pairs and its architecture (number of limbs, degrees of freedom, actuation ability

This article carries out the investigation to obtain the condition under which the generalized \(\mathcal {Z}\)-recurrent spacetimes (briefly, \(G\mathcal {Z}_{4}\) spacetimes) become a perfect fluid spacetime. It is shown that in a \(G \mathcal {Z}_{4}\) spacetime obeying Codazzi type and cyclic parallel \(\mathcal {Z}\) tensor represents a perfect fluid spacetime, provided the basic vector fields

In this paper we study a generalization of Clifford algebra depending on parameters introduced by Tutschke and Vanegas in 2008. We also introduce some related notions, a Cauchy–Pompeiu integral formula, and two boundary value problems for monogenic functions with values in this Cliford algebra.

In this paper, based on a proposed notion of generalized conjugate harmonic pairs in the framework of complex Clifford analysis, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of inhomogeneous perturbed generalized Moisil–Teodorescu systems in higher dimensional Euclidean spaces are proved. As an application, we derive corresponding solvability conditions for the inhomogeneous Maxwell’s equations

The k-Cauchy–Fueter complex in quaternionic analysis was generalized to the Heisenberg group in a previous paper (Ren et al., in Adv Appl Clifford Algebras 30(2): Paper No. 20, 2020). But it is not known whether this differential complex is exact or not. In this paper, we apply the Penrose transform (the twistor method) to a double fibration of homogeneous spaces of \(\mathrm{SO}(2N,{\mathbb {C}})\)

The aim of this paper is to generalise the construction of n-ary Hom-Lie bracket by means of an \((n-2)\)-cochain of given Hom-Lie algebra to super case inducing n-Hom-Lie superalgebras. We study the notion of generalized derivations and Rota-Baxter operators of n-ary Hom-Nambu and n-Hom-Lie superalgebras and their relation with generalized derivations and Rota-Baxter operators of Hom-Lie superalgebras

In this paper, we consider inner automorphisms that leave invariant fixed subspaces of real and complex Clifford algebras—subspaces of fixed grades and subspaces determined by the reversion and the grade involution. We present groups of elements that define such inner automorphisms and study their properties. Some of these Lie groups can be interpreted as generalizations of Clifford, Lipschitz, and

Beltrami fields are complex vector fields \({\mathbf {F}}\) which satisfy the equation \({\text {curl}} {\mathbf {F}} + \lambda {\mathbf {F}}=0.\) Such fields appear in astrophysics, electromagnetics and plasma physics. We construct a complete system of solutions to the differential equation \((D+\lambda (x_3)+M^{\gamma (x_3){\mathbf {e}}_3})u=0\) for a complex quaternionic valued function u in a symmetric

We present an algorithm to compute all factorizations into linear factors of univariate polynomials over the split quaternions, provided such a factorization exists. Failure of the algorithm is equivalent to non-factorizability for which we present also geometric interpretations in terms of rulings on the quadric of non-invertible split quaternions. However, suitable real polynomial multiples of split

The theory of polynomial bases in one complex variable, as given by Whittaker and Cannon, was extended partially to the scope of Clifford analysis, where many results have been handled from different aspects. The emphasis of this paper is on introducing a certain type of bases of axially monogenic polynomials generated by the maximum modulus base. Determining the convergence properties of such bases

In para-Grassmann algebra a noncommutative, associative star product \(*\) (the Moyal product), which is a direct generalization of the star product in the algebra of Grassmann numbers is introduced. Isomorphism between the algebra of para-Grassmann numbers of order two equipped with the star product and the algebra of creation and annihilation operators \(a_{k}^{\pm }\) obeying the para-Fermi statistics

In this paper, we use the equivalence canonical form of four quaternion matrices to consider two systems of quaternion matrix equations. We derive some practical necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to these two systems in terms of ranks of the quaternion matrices involved. We also give the general solutions to the systems when the solvability conditions are satisfied

We revisit the topic of two-state quantum systems using the Clifford Algebra in three dimensions \(Cl_3\). In this description, both the quantum states and Hermitian operators are written as elements of \(Cl_3\). By writing the quantum states as elements of the minimal left ideals of this algebra, we compute the energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the Hamiltonian of an arbitrary two-state system

In this paper we investigate factorizations of polynomials over the ring of dual quaternions into linear factors. While earlier results assume that the norm polynomial is real (“motion polynomials”), we only require the absence of real polynomial factors in the primal part and factorizability of the norm polynomial over the dual numbers into monic quadratic factors. This obviously necessary condition

In this paper, the study of linear differential equations involving one conventional and two nilpotent variables is started. This is a natural extension of the case of one involved nilpotent (para-Grassmann) variable studied earlier. In the case considered here, the two nilpotent variables are assumed to commute, hence they are generators of a (generalized) zeon algebra. Using the natural para-supercovariant
