Slice regular functions in several variables (Q2163306)

The authors consider the theory of slice regular functions in several (non-commuting) variables ranging in any real alternative *-algebra, including quaternions, octonions and Clifford algebras. The validity of a Cauchy-type integral formula and the existence of ordered power series expansions are presented. Based on the study of all polynomials and power series with ordered variables and right coefficients in the algebra the authors study the real dimension of the zero set of polynomials in the quaternionic and octonionic cases and give some results about the zero set of polynomials with Clifford coefficients. In particular, they show that a non-constant polynomial always has a non-empty zero set.
