A Remark on the Genus of the Infinite Quaternionic Projective Space
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that all but at most countably many spaces in the genus of HP∞, the infinite quaternionic projective space, do not admit any essential maps from CP∞, the infinite complex projective space. This strengthens a theorem of McGibbon and Rector which states that among the uncountably many homotopy types in its genus, HP∞ is the only one which admits a maximal torus.

Maps to Spaces in the Genus of Infinite Quaternionic Projective Space
Spaces in the genus of infinite quaternionic projective space which admit essential maps from infinite complex projective space are classified. In these cases the sets of homotopy classes of maps are described explicitly. These results strengthen the classical theorem of McGibbon and Rector on maximal torus admissibility for spaces in the genus of infinite quaternionic projective space. An inte...
متن کاملOn the Quaternionic Curves in the Semi-Euclidean Space E_4_2
In this study, we investigate the semi-real quaternionic curves in the semi-Euclidean space E_4_2. Firstly, we introduce algebraic properties of semi-real quaternions. Then, we give some characterizations of semi-real quaternionic involute-evolute curves in the semi-Euclidean space E42 . Finally, we give an example illustrated with Mathematica Programme.
متن کاملQuaternionic Product of Circles and Cycles and Octonionic Product for Pairs of Circles
This paper concerns with a product of circles induced by the quaternionic product considered in a projective manner. Several properties of this composition law are derived and on this way we arrive at some special numbers as roots or powers of unit. We extend this product to cycles as oriented circles and to pairs of circles by using the algebra of octonions. Three applications of the given pro...
متن کاملResponse to the Comment by G. Emch on Projective Group Representations in Quaternionic Hilbert Space
We discuss the differing definitions of complex and quaternionic projective group representations employed by us and by Emch. The definition of Emch (termed here a strong projective representation) is too restrictive to accommodate quaternionic Hilbert space embeddings of complex projective representations. Our definition (termed here a weak projective representation) encompasses such embedding...
متن کاملProjective Group Representations in Quaternionic Hilbert Space
We extend the discussion of projective group representations in quaternionic Hilbert space which was given in our recent book. The associativity condition for quaternionic projective representations is formulated in terms of unitary operators and then analyzed in terms of their generator structure. The multi–centrality and centrality assumptions are also analyzed in generator terms, and implica...
