In this paper we continue to study the quaternionic analogues of Cauchy's formula for the second order pole. These quaternionic analogues are closely related to regularization of infinities of vacuum polarization diagrams in four-dimensional quantum field theory. In order to add some flexibility, especially when dealing with Cauchy's formula for the second order pole, we introduce a one-parameter deformation of quaternionic analysis. This deformation of quaternions preserves conformal invariance and has a geometric realization as anti de Sitter space sitting inside the five-dimensional Euclidean space. We show that many results of quaternionic analysis - including the Cauchy-Fueter formula - admit a simple and canonical deformation. We conclude this paper with a deformation of the quaternionic analogues of Cauchy's formula for the second order pole.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-28T19:15:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "second order pole", "quaternionic analysis", "sitter deformation", "cauchys formula", "quaternionic analogues" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1404.7098F" } } }
