Basis on a quaternion-like algebra #
Main definitions #
QuaternionAlgebra.Basis A c₁ c₂ c₃: a basis for a subspace of anR-algebraAthat has the same algebra structure asℍ[R,c₁,c₂,c₃].QuaternionAlgebra.Basis.self R: the canonical basis forℍ[R,c₁,c₂,c₃].QuaternionAlgebra.Basis.compHom b f: transform a basisbby an AlgHomf.QuaternionAlgebra.lift: Define anAlgHomout ofℍ[R,c₁,c₂,c₃]by its action on the basis elementsi,j, andk. In essence, this is a universal property. Analogous toComplex.lift, but takes a bundledQuaternionAlgebra.Basisinstead of just aSubtypeas the amount of data / proves is non-negligible.
A quaternion basis contains the information both sufficient and necessary to construct an
R-algebra homomorphism from ℍ[R,c₁,c₂,c₃] to A; or equivalently, a surjective
R-algebra homomorphism from ℍ[R,c₁,c₂,c₃] to an R-subalgebra of A.
Note that for definitional convenience, k is provided as a field even though i_mul_j fully
determines it.
- i : A
The first imaginary unit
- j : A
The second imaginary unit
- k : A

Instances For
A quaternionic basis on A is equivalent to a map from the quaternion algebra to A.
