Abstract

We prove an Almansi Theorem for quaternionic polynomials and extend it to quaternionic slice-regular functions. We associate to every such function f, a pair h_1, h_2 of zonal harmonic functions such that f=h_1-bar{x} h_2. We apply this result to get mean value formulas and Poisson formulas for slice-regular quaternionic functions.

Highlights

  • In this note we prove a quaternionic Almansi-type Theorem for polynomials with quaternionic coefficients and, more generally, for slice-regular functions of a quaternionic variable

  • We show that to every slice-regular function f defined on a domain Ω of the skew field H of quaternions, it is possible to associate two uniquely defined harmonic functions h1, h2 such that f (x) = h1(x)−xh2(x) on Ω

  • An interesting aspect of these last results is their validity over any sphere in Ω, without requiring any symmetry with respect to the real axis

Summary

Introduction

In this note we prove a quaternionic Almansi-type Theorem for polynomials with quaternionic coefficients and, more generally, for slice-regular functions of a quaternionic variable (see Sect. 3 for definitions and references about this function theory). In this note we prove a quaternionic Almansi-type Theorem for polynomials with quaternionic coefficients and, more generally, for slice-regular functions of a quaternionic variable We show that to every slice-regular function f defined on a domain Ω of the skew field H of quaternions, it is possible to associate two uniquely defined harmonic functions h1, h2 such that f (x) = h1(x)−xh2(x) on Ω. This result allows to apply well-known results of harmonic function theory on R4 to obtain a mean value property for slice-regular functions and a Poisson-type formula over three-dimensional spheres.
