Abstract

In this article, we will give an affirmative answer to Gilbert’s conjecture on Hardy spaces of Clifford analytic functions in upper half-space of \(\mathbb {R}^{8}\). It is based on an explicit construction of Clifford algebra \(Cl_8\) and Spinor space \(\mathcal {R}_{8}\) by octonion algebra. Furthermore, it provides an associative approach to the theory of octonionic analytic functions. Additionally, certain classical results about octonionic analytic functions have been reformulated, and a related subject has been treated in Octonionic Hardy space in upper half-space.
