We prove that for a right linear bounded normal operator on a quaternionic Hilbert space (quaternionic bounded normal operator) the norm and the numerical radius are equal. As a consequence of this result we give a new proof of the known fact that a non zero quaternionic compact normal operator has a non zero right eigenvalue. Using this we give a new proof of the spectral theorem for quaternio...

This is a continuation of a series of papers [FL1, FL2, FL3], where we develop quaternionic analysis from the point of view of representation theory of the conformal Lie group and its Lie algebra. In this paper we continue to study the quaternionic analogues of Cauchy’s formula for the second order pole. These quaternionic analogues are closely related to regularization of infinities of vacuum ...

We prove that any asymptotically locally Euclidean scalar-flat Kähler 4-orbifold whose isometry group contains a 2-torus is isometric, up to an orbifold covering, to a quaternionic-complex quotient of a k-dimensional quaternionic vector space by a (k − 1)-torus. In order to do so, we first prove that any compact anti-self-dual 4-orbifold with positive Euler characteristic whose isometry group c...

Abstract. We formulate Lorentz group representations in which ordinary complex numbers are replaced by linear functions of real quaternions and introduce dotted and undotted quaternionic one-dimensional spinors. To extend to parity the space-time transformations, we combine these one-dimensional spinors into bi-dimensional column vectors. From the transformation properties of the two-component ...

BGG–sequences offer a uniform construction for invariant differential operators for a large class of geometric structures called parabolic geometries. For locally flat geometries, the resulting sequences are complexes, but in general the compositions of the operators in such a sequence are nonzero. In this paper, we show that under appropriate torsion freeness and/or semi–flatness assumptions c...

We give an overview of some recent results in hypersymplectic and para-quaternionic Kähler geometry, and introduce the notion of split three-Sasakian manifold. In particular, we discuss the twistor spaces and Swann bundles of para-quaternionic Kähler manifolds. These are used to classify examples with a fully homogeneous action of a semi-simple Lie group, and to construct distinct para-quaterni...

It has long been known that differential forms on a complex manifold M2n can be decomposed under the action of the complex structure to give the Dolbeault complex. This paper presents an analogous double complex for a quaternionic manifold M4n using the fact that its cotangent space T ∗ mM is isomorphic to the quaternionic vector space H. This defines an action of the group Sp(1) of unit quater...

We show that, if a quaternionic k-dimensional vector bundle l' over the quaternionic projective space Hpn is stably extendible and its non-zero top Pontrjagin class is not zero mod 2, then l' is stably equivalent to the Whitney sum of k quaternionic line bundles provided k S; n.

We characterise, in the setting of the Kodaira–Spencer deformation theory, the twistor spaces of (co-)CR quaternionic manifolds. As an application, we prove that, locally, the leaf space of any nowhere zero quaternionic vector field on a quaternionic manifold is endowed with a natural co-CR quaternionic structure. Also, for any positive integers k and l, with kl even, we obtain the geometric ob...
