In 1988, J.R. Faulkner has given a procedure to construct an octonion algebra on a finite dimensional unitary alternative algebra of degree three over a field K. Here we use a similar procedure to get a quaternion algebra. Then we obtain some conditions for these octonion and quaternion algebras to be split or division algebras. Then we consider the implications of the found conditions to the u...

In terms of generators and defining relations, a description is given of the Hochschild cohomology algebra for one of the series of local algebras of quaternion type. As a corollary, the Hochschild cohomology algebra is described for the group algebras of generalized quaternion groups over algebraically closed fields of characteristic 2. Introduction Let R be a finite-dimensional algebra over a...

in this paper we initiate the study of real group algebras and investigate some of its aspects.let l1 (g) be a group algebra of a locally compact group g,τ :g →g be a group homeomorphismsuch that τ 2 =τοτ = 1, the identity map, and lp (g,τ ) = { f ∈ lp (g) : fοτ = f } ( p ≥ 1) . in thispaper, among other results, we clarify the structure of lp (g,τ ) and characterize amenability ofl1 (g,τ ) and...

In this chapter, the problem of quaternion beamformer based on linear and widely linear hypercomplex processing is investigated in scenarios, where there exist one signal and one interference that are uncorrelated. First, we introduce brief information about the quaternion algebra and a quaternion model of linear symmetric array with twocomponent electromagnetic (EM) vector-sensors is presented...

Quaternion quantum mechanics is examined at the level of unbroken SU(2) gauge symmetry. A general quaternionic phase expression is derived from formal properties of the quaternion algebra. pacs 03.65.Bz, 03.65.Ca,11.15.Kc, 02.30.+g 1 Quaternion Quantum Mechanics Quantum mechanics defined over general algebras have been conjectured since 1934 [1]. In 1936 Birkoff and von Neumann noted that the p...

The traditional methods for representing forward kinematics of manipulators have been the homogeneous matrix in line with the D-H algorithm. In this paper a new method known as quaternion algebra is described and it is used for three dimensional representation and orientation in robot kinematics. This method is compared with homogeneous transform in terms of easiness of representation, computat...

Weakly hyperbolic involutions are introduced and a proof is given of the following local-global principle: a central simple algebra with involution of any kind is weakly hyperbolic if and only if its signature is zero for all orderings of the ground field. Also, the order of a weakly hyperbolic algebra with involution is a power of two, this being a direct consequence of a result of Scharlau. A...

let $f_q d_{2n}$ be the group algebra of $d_{2n}$, the dihedral group of order $2n$ over $f_q=gf(q)$. in this paper, we establish the structure of $u(f_{2^k}d_{2n})$, the unit group of $f_{2^k}d_{2n}$ and that of its normalized unitary subgroup $v_*(f_{2^k}d_{2n})$ with respect to canonical involution $*$ when $n$ is odd.

Quaternion is an extension of the complex number system. are discovered by formulating 4 points in 4-dimensional vector space using cross product between two standard vectors. algebra over a field with bases and elements members field. Each element quaternion has inverse, despite fact that ring not commutative. Based on this, purpose this study to obtain characteristics split determine how it i...

This document provides a mathematical summary of quaternion algebra and calculus and how they relate to rotations and interpolation of rotations. The ideas are based on the article [1].
