We need the Axiom LinearOperator? library.

Use the following macros for convenient notation

macro Σ(x,i,n)==reduce(+,[x for i in n])

-- list
macro Ξ(f,i,n)==[f for i in n]

-- subscript

𝐋 is the domain of 4-dimensional linear operators over the rational functions ℚ (Expression Integer), i.e. ratio of polynomials with integer coefficients.

Now generate structure constants for Quaternion Algebra

The basis consists of the real and imaginary units. We use quaternion multiplication to form the "multiplication table" as a matrix. Then the structure constants can be obtained by dividing each matrix entry by the list of basis vectors.

Split-complex and co-quaternions can be specified by Caley-Dickson parameters (q0 = -1, q1 = -1)

--q0:=sb('q,[0])
q0:=1  -- not split-complex

(9)

--q1:=sb('q,[1])
q1:=1  -- quaternion

(10)

QQ := ℂ(ℂ(ℚ,'i,q0),'j,q1);

Basis: Each B.i is a quaternion number

B:ℒ QQ := map(x +-> hyper x,1$SQMATRIX(dim,ℚ)::ℒ ℒ ℚ)

(11)

-- Multiplication table:
M:Matrix QQ := matrix Ξ(Ξ(B.i*B.j, i,1..dim), j,1..dim)

(12)

-- Function to divide the matrix entries by a basis element
S(y) == map(x +-> real real(x/y),M)

-- The result is a nested list
ѕ :=map(S,B)::ℒ ℒ ℒ ℚ

Compiling function S with type CaleyDickson(CaleyDickson(Expression(
      Integer),i,1),j,1) -> Matrix(Expression(Integer))

Multiplication of arbitrary quaternions and

(a*b)/Y

(19)

Multiplication is Associative

test(
  ( I Y ) / _
  (  Y  ) = _
  ( Y I ) / _
  (  Y  ) )

(20)

A scalar product is denoted by the (2,0)-tensor

U:=Σ(Σ(script('u,[[],[i,j]])*𝐝.i*𝐝.j, i,1..dim), j,1..dim)

(21)

Definition 1

We say that the scalar product is associative if the tensor equation holds:

    Y   =   Y
     U     U

In other words, if the (3,0)-tensor:

(22)

Using the LinearOperator? domain in Axiom and some carefully chosen symbols we can easily enter expressions that are both readable and interpreted by Axiom as "graphical calculus" diagrams describing complex products and compositions of linear operators.

ω:𝐋 :=
     (    Y I    )  /
           U        -
     (    I Y    )  /
           U

(23)

Definition 2

An algebra with a non-degenerate associative scalar product is called a [Frobenius Algebra]?.

The Cartan-Killing Trace

Ú:=
   (  Y Λ  ) / _
   (   Y I ) / _
        V

(24)

Ù:=
   (  Λ Y  ) / _
   ( I Y   ) / _
      V

(25)

test(Ù=Ú)

(26)

forms a non-degenerate associative scalar product for Y

Ũ := Ù

(27)

test
     (    Y I    )  /
           Ũ        =
     (    I Y    )  /
           Ũ

(28)

determinant Ξ(Ξ(retract((𝐞.i * 𝐞.j)/Ũ), j,1..dim), i,1..dim)

(29)

General Solution

We may consider the problem where multiplication Y is given, and look for all associative scalar products

This problem can be solved using linear algebra.

   MultiVariableCalculusFunctions is now explicitly exposed in frame 
      initial 
J := jacobian(ravel ω,concat map(variables,ravel U)::ℒ Symbol);

u := transpose matrix [concat map(variables,ravel U)::ℒ Symbol];

J::OutputForm * u::OutputForm = 0

(30)

nrows(J),ncols(J)

(31)

The matrix J transforms the coefficients of the tensor into coefficients of the tensor . We are looking for the general linear family of tensors such that J transforms into for any such .

If the null space of the J matrix is not empty we can use the basis to find all non-trivial solutions for U:

Ñ:=nullSpace(J)

(32)

ℰ:=map((x,y)+->x=y, concat
       map(variables,ravel U), entries Σ(sb('p,[i])*Ñ.i, i,1..#Ñ) )

(33)

This defines a family of pre-Frobenius algebras:

zero? eval(ω,ℰ)

(34)

In general the pairing is not symmetric!

Ų:𝐋 := eval(U,ℰ)

(35)

matrix Ξ(Ξ((𝐞.i 𝐞.j)/Ų, i,1..dim), j,1..dim)

(36)

This is the most general form of the "dot product" of two quaternions

(a*b)/Ų

(37)

(a*a)/Ų

(38)

Cartan-Killing is a special case

ck:=solve(equate(Ũ=Ų),Ξ(sb('p,[i]), i,1..#Ñ)).1

Compiling function equate with type Equation(ClosedLinearOperator(
      OrderedVariableList([1,i,j,k]),Expression(Integer))) -> List(
      Equation(Expression(Integer)))

(39)

The scalar product must be non-degenerate:

Ů:=determinant Ξ(Ξ(retract((𝐞.i * 𝐞.j)/Ų), j,1..dim), i,1..dim)

(40)

factor Ů

Definition 3

Co-pairing

Solve the [Snake Relation]? as a system of linear equations.

Ω:𝐋:=Σ(Σ(script('u,[[i,j]])*𝐞.i*𝐞.j, i,1..dim), j,1..dim)

(42)

d1:=(I*Ω)/(Ų*I);

d2:=(Ω*I)/(I*Ų);

eq1:=equate(d1=I);

eq2:=equate(d2=I);

snake:=solve(concat(eq1,eq2),concat Ξ(Ξ(script('u,[[i,j]]), i,1..dim), j,1..dim));

if #snake ~= 1 then error "no solution"

Ω:=eval(Ω,snake(1))

(43)

matrix Ξ(Ξ(Ω/(𝐝.i*𝐝.j), i,1..dim), j,1..dim)

(44)

Check "dimension" and the snake relations.

d:𝐋:=
       Ω    /
       X    /
       Ų

(45)

test
    (    I Ω     )  /
    (     Ų I    )  =  I

(46)

test
    (     Ω I    )  /
    (    I Ų     )  =  I

(47)

Co-algebra

Compute the "three-point" function and use it to define co-multiplication.

W:=(Y,I)/Ų

(48)

λ:=(Ω,I,Ω)/(I,W,I)

(49)

test
     (    I Ω     )  /
     (     Y I    )  =  λ

(50)

test
     (     Ω I    )  /
     (    I Y     )  =  λ

(51)

Co-associativity

test(
  (  λ  ) / _
  ( I λ ) = _
  (  λ  ) / _
  ( λ I ) )

(52)

Frobenius Condition

H :=
         Y    /
         λ

(53)

test
     (   λ I   )  /
     (  I Y    )  =  H

(54)

test
     (   I λ   )  /
     (    Y I  )  =  H

(55)

Bi-algebra conditions

ΦΦ:=         _
  (  λ λ  ) / _
  ( I X I ) / _
  (  Y Y  ) ;

solve(equate(ΦΦ=H),Ξ(sb('p,[i]), i,1..#Ñ))

(56)

The Cartan-Killing form makes H of the Frobenius condition idempotent

test( eval(H,ck)=eval(H/H,ck) )

(57)

But it is not unique. E.g. other idempots

h1:=map(numer,ravel(H-H/H)::List FRAC POLY INT);

h2:=groebner h1

(58)

ck3:=[p[1]=1,p[2]=1,p[3]=1]

(59)

ck4:=solve(eval(h2,ck3),[p[4]])

(60)

test( eval(H,concat(ck3,ck4.1))=eval(H/H,concat(ck3,ck4.1)) )

(61)

test( eval(H,concat(ck3,ck4.2))=eval(H/H,concat(ck3,ck4.2)) )

(62)

determinant Ξ(Ξ(retract( (𝐞.i * 𝐞.j)/eval(Ų,concat(ck3,ck4.1)) ), j,1..dim), i,1..dim)

(63)

determinant Ξ(Ξ(retract( (𝐞.i * 𝐞.j)/eval(Ų,concat(ck3,ck4.2)) ), j,1..dim), i,1..dim)

(64)

i = Unit of the algebra

i:=𝐞.1

(65)

test
         i     /
         λ     =    Ω
