Split-complex number

In algebra, a split complex number (or hyperbolic number, also perplex number, double number) is based on a hyperbolic unit j satisfying A split-complex number has two real number components x and y, and is written The conjugate of z is Since the product of a number z with its conjugate is an isotropic quadratic form. The collection D of all split complex numbers for x,y \in \R forms an algebra over the field of real numbers. Two split-complex numbers w and z have a product wz that satisfies This composition of N over the algebra product makes (D, +, ×, *) a composition algebra. A similar algebra based on \R^2 and component-wise operations of addition and multiplication, (\R^2, +, \times, xy), where xy is the quadratic form on \R^2, also forms a quadratic space. The ring isomorphism relates proportional quadratic forms, but the mapping is an isometry since the multiplicative identity (1, 1) of \R^2 is at a distance \sqrt 2 from 0, which is normalized in D. Split-complex numbers have many other names; see below. See the article Motor variable for functions of a split-complex number. A split-complex number is an ordered pair of real numbers, written in the form where x and y are real numbers and the hyperbolic unit j satisfies In the field of complex numbers the imaginary unit i satisfies The change of sign distinguishes the split-complex numbers from the ordinary complex ones. The hyperbolic unit j is not a real number but an independent quantity. The collection of all such z is called the split-complex plane. Addition and multiplication of split-complex numbers are defined by This multiplication is commutative, associative and distributes over addition. Just as for complex numbers, one can define the notion of a split-complex conjugate. If then the conjugate of z is defined as The conjugate satisfies similar properties to usual complex conjugate. Namely, These three properties imply that the split-complex conjugate is an automorphism of order 2.

Versor

In mathematics, a versor is a quaternion of norm one (a unit quaternion). Each versor has the form where the r2 = −1 condition means that r is a unit-length vector quaternion (or that the first component of r is zero, and the last three components of r are a unit vector in 3 dimensions). The corresponding 3-dimensional rotation has the angle 2a about the axis r in axis–angle representation. In case a = π/2 (a right angle), then , and the resulting unit vector is termed a right versor.

Indefinite orthogonal group

In mathematics, the indefinite orthogonal group, O(p, q) is the Lie group of all linear transformations of an n-dimensional real vector space that leave invariant a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form of signature (p, q), where n = p + q. It is also called the pseudo-orthogonal group or generalized orthogonal group. The dimension of the group is n(n − 1)/2. The indefinite special orthogonal group, SO(p, q) is the subgroup of O(p, q) consisting of all elements with determinant 1.
