Hardy space on the quaternionic ball, functions of a quaternionic variable, invariant Riemannian metricAbstract
The quaternionic Hardy space of slice regular functions H2(B) is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In this note we see how this property can be exploited to construct a Riemannian metric on the quaternionic unit ball B and we study the geometry arising from this construction. We also show that, in contrast with the example of the Poincaré metric on the complex unit disc, no Riemannian metric on B is invariant with respect to all slice regular bijective self maps of B.References
