Abstract: In the literature on slice analysis in the hypercomplex setting, there are two main approaches to define slice regular functions in one variable: one consists in requiring that the restriction to any complex plane is holomorphic (with the same complex structure of the complex plane), the second one makes use of stem and slice functions. So far, in the setting of several hypercomplex variables, only the second approach has been considered, i.e. the one based on stem functions. In this paper, we use instead the first definition on the so-called n-dimensional quadratic cone of octonions. These two approaches yield the same class of slice regular functions on axially symmetric slice-domains, however, they are different on other types of domains. We call this new class of functions weak slice regular. We show that there exist weak slice regular functions which are not slice regular in the second approach. Moreover, we study various properties of these functions, including a Taylor expansion.


In the setting of several hypercomplex variables a class of functions termed weak slice regular is introduced on the n-dimensional quadratic cone of octonions \(\mathbb{O}_s^n\). Used is a generalization to \(\mathbb{O}_s^n\) of the slice-topology \(\tau_s\) introduced in the space of quaternions in [the first three authors, ``Extension theorem and representation formula in non-axially symmetric domains for slice regular functions, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2003.10487}]. Weak slice regular functions are a generalization of slice regular functions as defined in [the second and the fourth author, Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 43, No. 9, 6031--6042 (2020; Zbl 1451.30095)] which the authors term strong slice regular. The two classes of functions coincide on axially symmetric domains in the slice topology. The manuscript begins by including some basic definitions in octonionic slice analysis as in [Zbl 1451.30095]. Then the authors generalize slice functions on axially symmetric open sets to any subset in \(\mathbb{O}_s^n\). Next is the definition of slice function with a version of the representation formula. Then strong slice regular functions are introduced followed by the definition of the slice topology on \(\mathbb{O}_s^n\) and the notion of weak slice regular functions on open sets in the slice topology \(\tau_s\). Some properties of weak slice functions are proved including their expansion in Taylor series on slice-polydiscs. Lastly given is an example of a weak slice regular function which is not (and cannot be extended to) a strong slice regular function.
