Quaternionic Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Fields

Zusatztext The book is highly professional and despite the feeling that any effort in investigating the quaterionic approach is useless, the reviewer is advocating for paying an interest in the field. The greatest merit of the monograph does not derive from the analyed aspects of the relativistic and non-relativistic quaternionic quantum mechanics but mainly from the impressive list of open questions presented by the author at the end of the monograph. That list is showing that the author is not practicing a "Glasperlenspiel" but rather that he is highly involved in the effort of understanding the very terrestrial physics. Klappentext This book signals a major conceptual advance in quaternionic quantum mechanics; significant results from earlier literature, together with many new ones obtained by the author, are integrated to give a coherent picture of the subject. Zusammenfassung This book presents a new conceptualization of quantum mechanics, using quaternions instead of complex numbers. The author gives a systematic treatment of quaternionic quantum mechanics paralleling the standard textbook treatment of complex quantum mechanics.
