Introduction
The algebra
B is a recently described algebraic structure by Alejandro Bermejo [
1]; it is defined as a non-associative and unital algebra with the potential to satisfy the definitional requirements of Lie and Malcev algebras when the respective products of these latter algebras are defined using the product of algebra
B. However, an added quality of this algebra is the emergence of complex entities with a structure different from existing ones. They appear similar to quaternions [
2] lacking one dimension, but they are not. They also resemble the set of complex numbers
[
3] with an additional dimension, but they are not that either. Our study aims to investigate the structural properties of these entities, which we refer to as "treons", and to establish an isomorphism between algebra
B and the treonic number system. We will demonstrate the mathematical correctness of representing elements of algebra
B in the form
, ultimately proving the existence of an isomorphism to
. Based on this, that is, on the possibility of expressing the elements of algebra B in the form of treons, we seek to explore how Euler’s identity manifests in the context of algebra B. Euler’s identity (or Euler’s formula),
, is a cornerstone of complex analysis, illustrating the profound relationship between exponential and trigonometric functions [
4,
5]. We find that the structure of this identity in algebra B has a similar form, but with its own unique characteristics and differences.
1. Products in Quaternion and Algebras
The product of quaternions is defined as [
2]:
And the product in
is defined as [
3,
6]:
2. Product in Algebra B
The product ⊙ in algebra
B is defined as [
1]:
Both the quaternionic product and the product in
are different from the product in
B. It is not sufficient to nullify one or another component to derive algebra
B from quaternions. Similarly, it does not make sense to impose an additional dimension to
to reach the product of algebra
B. Therefore, from algebra
B, the complex elements that arise must be different from the complex elements of the set
and the quaternions.
3. Representations in Quaternion and Algebras
Quaternions can be represented as:
And complex numbers in
as:
In algebra
B, Bermejo proposes the presence of the representation [
1]:
though he does not define it strictly, i.e., from an algebra isomorphism.
4. Defining Treons
Motivated by investigating this equivalent representation, we seek to demonstrate that this representation is mathematically correct. This implies that there must exist an isomorphism between the structure
and
; both referenced by Bermejo in his definition and analysis of algebra
B[
1]. We assume that the field over which the algebra is defined is the real field
. Accordingly, we will seek an isomorphism between the real field
and the field of complex entities with structure
which we will call "treons" or "treonic numbers" to differentiate from the term "trions" used in various disciplines and from hypercomplex numbers called "ternions".
We define treons as:
such that
and
.
We assumed that the treonic elements are elements of an arbitrary algebra A.
5. Addition and Product in Treons
The addition + in
A is:
and the product ⊗ in
A is:
Note that we have not imposed a definition, but have simply grouped the terms in the addition + by factoring out
i and
j without altering their action on the right on the elements of the field. We have also considered the distributive property of the product ⊗ over +.
6. Isomorphism with
Now, we analyze
: The addition + in algebra
B is defined as:
While the product ⊙ in
B was previously defined as:
Under this product operation, an expression of the type
can be expressed as [
1]:
Since in algebra
B[
1] we have the property of
orthomulearity,
, expressions of the type
would remain:
Taking into account that under the product in
B,
and
, then,
This has a preserved structure with respect to the product in
B:
Thus, for
, such that
and
, we can consider:
where
is the real part of
c,
is the first imaginary part of
c, and
is the second imaginary part of
c.
With this, we have sufficient data to define an isomorphism
such that:
7. Verification of Isomorphism Properties
7.1. Preservation of Addition
7.2. Preservation of Product
7.3. Isomorphism Verification
7.3.1. Morphism Verification
is an algebra morphism (homomorphism) if [
7,
8,
9]:
and moreover:
where
is the identity under the product ⊗ in
A, and
is the identity under the product ⊙ in
B.
The first condition holds:
where we used
.
The second condition also holds:
The identity in
A is defined as
:
Therefore:
Since in algebra B we have
, it is verified that
is an algebra morphism between
A and
B.
For
to be an isomorphism,
must be both a monomorphism and an epimorphism [
7,
8,
10].
7.3.2. Monomorphism Verification (Injectivity)
Assuming
. Then:
This implies that:
Therefore:
Thus,
is an monomorphism.
Through the kernel, we can equally verify this. We define the kernel of
as the set of elements in
A that map to the identity element of addition in
B [
7,
8,
10]. In our case:
For
, we have
. Therefore:
This implies that:
Therefore:
Thus, the only element in the kernel of
is the identity element of addition in
A.
The fact that
is trivial (i.e.,
) implies that the homomorphism is injective [
7,
8,
10].
7.3.3. Epimorphism Verification (Surjectivity)
To verify that
is an epimorphism, we considered any
. There exists a treon
such that:
Thus,
is surjective, as by definition every element in
has a preimage in
A. Thus, by definition, it is an epimorphism.
□
With all this, we have the necessary tools to tackle the search for Euler’s identity in the context of algebra B. The isomorphism of algebras allows us to conduct a well-defined analysis of algebra B in the form of treons. With these, we proceed to deduce the form of Euler’s identity in our algebra.
8. Analysis of Treons and Their Complex Conjugates
8.1. Definition of a Complex Entity
Considering Bermejo’s work on algebra B [
1], a complex entity can be described as:
where
,
, and
.
is the real part of
b,
is the first imaginary part of
b, and
is the second imaginary part of
b. It should be noted that the definition is equivalent to the one we articulated in
Section 6: Isomorphism with
.
8.2. Definition of the Complex Conjugate
The complex conjugate,
, was obtained by changing
or
[
1] to their respective additive inverses in algebra B. Thus:
where
denotes conjugation in
i, and
denotes conjugation in
j.
8.3. Powers of a Complex Entity
We define the product
as:
Hence, simplifying the notation:
Thus,
becomes:
where we use the notation
to denote
.
We define higher powers as follows:
and so on.
We also define the quantity
. Therefore:
where
, which we call the "squared norm" of the vector. Note that
results from the definition of the product of the vector
b with its complex conjugate
, as in the field of complex numbers [
11]. However, in algebra B, this quantity appears in the first component (the real component) of the vector.
9. Derivation of Euler’s Identity
9.1. Step 1: Power Series
We perform the following power series expansion [
12]:
where ! denotes some kind of "factorial" in the field
F of algebra B [
1]; therefore, the multiplication of the factorial corresponds to the multiplication · defined for the elements of the field. On the other hand, we have: 0 is the identity element of addition in
F, 1 is the identity element of multiplication in
F, 2 is the successor of 1, 3 is the successor of 2, and so on. We also define:
,
,
, and
. Assuming that the field
F is the real field
, then
represents the Taylor series expansion of
[
12,
13].
9.2. Step 2: Taylor Series for
We utilize the powers of the components of
b multiplied by their corresponding imaginary units to perform a Taylor series expansion [
13], considering algebra B over the real field
. For the case of the first imaginary component, we have:
Note that
and
.
9.2.1. Analyzing the Powers of
The sequence is cyclic and has the form, from the second power:
. Therefore, the power series expansion becomes:
where
and
denote
hyperbolic cosines and sines [
14], respectively.
9.2.2. Analyzing the Powers of
For the full vector, with its two imaginary components, we have:
□
This demonstrates that Euler’s identity in algebra B, or equivalently in the algebra of treons, possesses a structure that preserves the connection between the exponential function and trigonometric functions. However, instead of the standard sine and cosine functions, hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine functions appear.
Conclusions
We demonstrated that the treonic number system is a valid representation of algebra B and established an isomorphism between and the algebra of treons. By preserving both the addition and product operations, our isomorphism confirmed the structural integrity of algebra B in this new representation.
Using the isomorphism between algebra B and treons, we have systematically extended the classical Euler’s identity to the domain of algebra B. We demonstrated how the exponential function and its associated trigonometric identities can be formulated within this broader context. The significance of this work lies in its ability to expand the applicability of Euler’s identity and the understanding of complex entities beyond traditional complex numbers and algebras, opening new avenues for exploring higher-dimensional algebraic structures with significant implications.
Furthermore, we demonstrated the emergence of hyperbolic trigonometric entities within this new Euler’s identity applied to algebra B. This finding underscores the potential of Euler’s identity to encompass a broader range of mathematical phenomena, which could lead to new theoretical developments in advanced mathematics.
