Abstract
In this paper, we study the analogue of spirallikeness for slice regular functions of one quaternionic variable. In particular, we introduce the concept of slice \(\gamma \)-spirallike functions of order \(\alpha \) and investigate its geometric function theory, such as coefficient estimates, growth and covering theorems. As a byproduct, the Robertson’s result concerning the radii of starlikeness for holomorphic spirallike functions is generalized into slice regular functions by a very concise method, but new even for the classical case.
