      We considered a possible extension of complex numbers, as well as its connected trigonometry. We now examine, the properties of complex analysis that can be transposed to these numbers: this goes from analyticity conditions to the residue theorem. We then show that the associated conformal symmetry is infinite and leads to \(n\) (\(n\) is the dimension of the algebra) copies of the Virasoro algebra, and define, with an appropriate prolongation of the function \(z\mapsto 1/z\), the analogue of the global conformal group. These algebras could be used for the description of scale invariant systems in more than two dimensions. We also give a \(Z_n\)-graded product adapted to these numbers.
