    In this paper we give a contribution to the investigation of the connection between iteration theory and the study of sets of commuting holomorphic maps in the open unit disk of C

    Boundary Constructions of Petals at the Wolff Point in the Parabolic Case.

    No full text
    In the same spirit of the classical Leau-Fatou flower theorem, we prove the existence of a petal, with vertex at the Wolff point, for a holomorphic self-map ff of the open unit disk ΔC\Delta \subset \mathbb{C} of parabolic type. The result is obtained in the framework of two interesting dynamical situations which require different kinds of regularity of ff at the Wolff point τ:\tau: ff of non-automorphism type and Re(f(τ))>0Re(f''(\tau))>0 or ff injective of automorphism type, fC3+ϵ(τ)f \in C^{3+\epsilon} (\tau) and $Re(f''(\tau))=0.

    The Mittag-Leffler Theorem for regular functions of a quaternionic variable

    Full text link
    We prove a version of the classical Mittag-Leffler Theorem for regular functions over quaternions. Our result relies upon an appropriate notion of principal part, that is inspired by the recent definition of spherical analyticity

    On Fixed Points of Regular Mobius Transformations over Quaternions

    In this paper we give a complete description of the fixed-point set for regular Möbius transformations of a quaternionic variable; furthermore we apply these results for the proof of a rigidity property for commuting hyperbolic regular Möbius transformations

    A family of Cauchy-Riemann type operators

    No full text
    A natural question is whether and in which sense the denition of a holomorphic function depends on the choice of the two vectors 1, i that form a basis of C over R. In fact these two vectors determine both the form of the Cauchy-Riemann operator, and the splitting of a holomorphic function in its harmonic real and imaginary components. In this paper we consider the basis 1, exp(i heta) of C over R, and define as heta-holomorphic the functions that belong to the kernel of a Cauchy-Riemann type operator determined by this basis. We study properties of these functions, and discuss the relation between them and classical holomorphic functions. This analysis will lead us to discover the special role that heta= pi/2 plays, that renders the theory of holomorphic functions special among this family of theories

    Landau-Toeplitz theorems for slice regular functions

    No full text
    The theory of slice regular functions of a quaternionic variable extends the notion of holomorphic function to the quaternionic setting. This theory, already rich of results, is sometimes surprisingly different from the theory of holomorphic functions of a complex variable. However, several fundamental results in the two environments are similar, even if their proofs for the case of quaternions need new technical tools. In this paper we prove the Landau-Toeplitz Theorem for slice regular functions, in a formulation that involves an appropriate notion of regular 2-diameter. We then show that the Landau-Toeplitz inequalities hold in the case of the regular n-diameter, for all n ≥ 2. Finally, a 3-diameter version of the Landau-Toeplitz Theorem is proved using the notion of slice 3-diameter

    Slice conformality and Riemann manifolds on quaternions and octonions

    Full text link
    In this paper we establish quaternionic and octonionic analogs of the classical Riemann surfaces. The construction of these manifolds has nice peculiarities and the scrutiny of Bernhard Riemann approach to Riemann surfaces, mainly based on conformality, leads to the definition of slice conformal or slice isothermal parameterization of quaternionic or octonionic Riemann manifolds. These new classes of manifolds include slice regular quaternionic and octonionic curves, graphs of slice regular functions, the 44 and 88 dimensional spheres, the helicoidal and catenoidal 44 and 88 dimensional manifolds. Using appropriate Riemann manifolds, we also give a unified definition of the quaternionic and octonionic logarithm and nn-th root function.Comment: Published online in: Math. Z.

    On a definition of logarithm of quaternionic functions

    Full text link
    For a slice-regular quaternionic function ff, the classical exponential function mathrmexpf{mathrm exp} f is not slice-regular in general. An alternative definition of an exponential function, the astast-exponential mathrmexpast{mathrm exp}_ast, was given in the work by Altavilla and de Fabritiis (2019): if ff is a slice-regular function, then mathrmexpastf{mathrm exp}_ast f is a slice-regular function as well. The study of a astast-logarithm mathrmlogastf{mathrm log}_ast f of a slice-regular function ff becomes of great interest for basic reasons, and is performed in this paper. The main result shows that the existence of such a mathrmlogastf{mathrm log}_ast f depends only on the structure of the zero set of the vectorial part fvf_v of the slice-regular function f=f0+fvf = f_0 + f_v, besides the topology of its domain of definition. We also show that, locally, every slice-regular nonvanishing function has a astast-logarithm and, at the end, we present an example of a nonvanishing slice-regular function on a ball which does not admit a astast-logarithm on that ball

    Ideals of regular functions of a quaternionic variable

    Full text link
    In this paper we prove that, for any natural number n, the ideal generated by n slice regular functions f_1 , . . . , f_n having no common zeros concides with the entire ring of slice regular functions. The proof required the study of the non-commutative syzygies of a vector of regular functions, that manifest a different character when compared with their complex counterparts

    On a continuation of quaternionic and octonionic logarithm along curves and the winding number

    Full text link
    This paper focuses on the problem of finding a continuous extension of the hypercomplex logarithm along a path. While a branch of the complex logarithm can be defined in a small open neighbourhood of a strictly negative real point, no continuous branch of the hypercomplex logarithm can be defined in any open set AK{0}A\subset \mathbb K\setminus \{0\} which contains a strictly negative real point x0x_0 (here K\mathbb K represents the algebra of quaternions or octonions). To overcome these difficulties, we introduced the logarithmic manifold EK+\mathscr E_\mathbb K^+ and then showed that if qK, q=x+Iyq\in\mathbb K,\ q=x+Iy then E(x+Iy)E(x+Iy) %= (\exp (x + Iy), Iy) = (\exp x \cos y + I\exp x \sin y, Iy) is an immersion and a diffeomorphism between K\mathbb K and EK+\mathscr E_\mathbb K^+. In this paper, we consider lifts of paths in K{0}\mathbb K\setminus\{0\} to the logarithmic manifold EK+\mathscr{E}^+_\mathbb K; even though K{0}\mathbb K \setminus \{0\} is simply connected, in general, given a path in K{0}\mathbb K \setminus \{0\}, the existence of a lift of this path to EK+\mathscr{E}^+_\mathbb K is not guaranteed. There is an obvious equivalence between the problem of lifting a path in K{0}\mathbb K \setminus \{0\} and the one of finding a continuation of the hypercomplex logarithm logK\log_{\mathbb K} along this path.Comment: 30 pages, 4 figure
