3.4. Analysis of the Real Component of
In algebra B, we define
, where ⊙ is the product of algebra B, and
is the double complex conjugation of a treon, i.e., a conjugation in
i and a conjugation in
j [
1,
2]. According to this,
, where:
The operation
we name it "double conjugated square". Bermejo called
the "norm squared", but it should not be interpreted as the norm squared per se of
p, since only the real part of
is being considered. Note that this "norm squared" is the real part of the double conjugated square of a treon, i.e.,
We define the subset
, such that:
and the mapping
:
implies that the real part of a treon is a place where Euclidean norms of three components of a real vector arise, whose components coincide with the components of the treon , an element of the domain of . We understand that the norm of a real vector arises in the real component of a treon when performing the double conjugated square.
Note that . Therefore, within the set where norms are defined (the set N), any treon with a zero real part will be a zero treon, and its preimage under will be the zero treon in X. Therefore, in N, any pure imaginary treon is zero and derives from a zero treon; this means that there are no pure imaginary treons in N. This does not occur in , where a pure imaginary treon produces an element .
Theorem: In
N, the norm of a treon is zero if and only if the treon is zero:
Proof ⇒:
We have that , such that . If , then .
Proof ⇐:
If , then . Therefore, .

Taking into account the product ⊙ of algebra B [
1], defined as:
we have:
where we will define
, which, while it has the structure of an inner product, we do not define it as such. The diamond operation ⋄ naturally arises from the definition of the product of algebra B. Therefore, we have:
Then, with this, we have an operation involving the product of a treon with another doubly conjugated treon, resulting in treons with a real component exhibiting the structure of an "inner product". We refer to the operation as the Bermejian inner product. In this context, the case of the doubly conjugated square is considered a particular instance of the Bermejian inner product, specifically for the product of identical treons.
On the other hand,
. Therefore, within
N, any zero treon maps to the zero vector
in
through a mapping
h:
Taking the set of all treons
that have an image in
under
,
, we can define a composition mapping
, such that:
This mapping ensures that all elements have a defined norm, such that the only possibility for an element to have a zero norm is for the element to be zero
.
Note that the components of
in the canonical basis, as defined, can be made to coincide with the components of a treon
in its corresponding base
. In this way:
The vectors that are a representation of the treons under the composition mapping H, we denote as .
3.5. -Spheres and Treonic Equivalence Classes
We define an
-sphere as the set of vectors
, such that
:
where
are the different spheres of radius
greater than zero. This notation, in the traditional sense, refers to 2-spheres of radius
r. For the purposes of our algebra, we have renamed this as
-spheres.
With this, we construct an equivalence relation for the elements
. Let the following equivalence relation ∼:
where ⊻ denotes the binary logical operator "exclusive or", which excludes the truth value "True" when both propositions are True.
Proof that is an equivalence relation:
1. Reflexivity: We have . Clearly, this proposition is true because imply null norms and, therefore, null vectors and treons that do not conform to the sphere by definition.
2. Symmetry: . Clearly, this holds since is the same as , and since is the same as .
3. Transitivity: For
and
we have:
As
, and as
, we have that the proposition
is true as it verifies the unique possibility of transitivity that
. Thus, transitivity verifies
only, being false
.
□
We extended the definition of
-spheres to the treonic set
X. We define:
This is simply a change in the way of representing:
is a vector on the canonical base while
p is a treon on the treonic base
.
We call the set the "r-treosphere," again, a change in the way of thinking about the spaces where they are defined. For we have a 1-treosphere such that there is an equivalence class , for we have , and for any , we have . The set for any allows grouping the treons according to these equivalence classes.
We define as the set of all in X. And we construct the treons quotient space. Note that involves all the points in the volume of a sphere.
We denoted the topology T of that is in as , and the corresponding topological subspace as . Thus, is a topological subspace of .
The Treons Quotient Space is a Hausdorff Space
Let two treons and , such that , then . Two treons and are equal if their corresponding components are equal; therefore, if and , then . On the other hand, the canonical projection mapping is surjective, not injective, and we can have two treons and mapped to an equivalence class , i.e., we can have two treons and such that ⊻. This implies that the construction of a neighborhood in implies the definition of two neighborhoods in and, by extension, in .
We define the following treons:
where
and
are the two elements of an equivalence class
.
Let the topological space , we can take a such that ; therefore, is an open neighborhood in . This can be done for any r and for any pair . By definition of topology, .
Additionally, let the topological spaces and , a set is said to be open in if and only if , which is precisely the definition of continuity between topological spaces. Therefore, implies that the canonical projection q is continuous, i.e., it implies the existence of an open . is the quotient topology of the quotient space .
We can choose neighborhoods
and
, as small as we want; therefore, we can assume the following intersections:
Using
, we have:
such that
and
.
Evaluating
, we have:
Therefore, .
Since the mapping
q is surjective, each element of the codomain has at least one preimage in the domain. If we start from the premise
, this implies that there is no element in
such that
, i.e., there is no element in the domain of
q that is mapped to the intersection
. Consequently, due to surjectivity, for there to be no
such that
, it is necessary that there be no element in the intersection itself. If there were any element
, surjectivity guarantees that there necessarily exists some
. Therefore:
Let the topological space
:
Therefore, the treon quotient topology is a Hausdorff space.
All this analysis allows us to well-define the treon quotient topology as a Hausdorff space, without the need to equip the vector space with norms or inner products. The definition of the product in Bermejo Algebras is sufficient to work with these concepts implicitly.
We must consider that we can also define a canonical projection mapping
that is not given by the composition
, and therefore does not depend on conventional vectors
; however, this excludes from our analysis the equivalence classes of opposite vectors in the
r-spheres and returns surface areas of radius
. Let us consider the mapping
m:
where:
Note that now the equivalence classes are not two points represented by position vectors on but are each of the surfaces .
Similarly, we can now define other equivalence classes in their corresponding
, for example, taking the diamond ⋄ operation:
Our work thus opens new possibilities in the development and topological analysis of Bermejo Algebras.
