Operators induced by certain hypercomplex systems

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a family \(\{ \mathbb{H}_{t}\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}\) of rings of hypercomplex numbers, indexed by the real numbers, which contain both the quaternions and the split-quaternions. We consider natural Hilbert-space representations \(\{(\mathbb{C}^{2},\pi_{t})\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}\) of the hypercomplex system \(\{ \mathbb{H}_{t}\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}\), and study the realizations \(\pi_{t}(h)\) of hypercomplex numbers \(h \in \mathbb{H}_{t}\), as \((2\times 2)\)-matrices acting on \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\), for an arbitrarily fixed scale \(t\in\mathbb{R}\). Algebraic, operator-theoretic, spectral-analytic, and free-probabilistic properties of them are considered.
