Abstract

We denote by F the real or complex numbers (R or C) or the quaternions (Q). We consider R as a subfield of C, and C as a subfield of Q. If z ∈ F, then we may write

$$ {\text{z}}\,{\text{ = }}\,{\text{s}}\,{\text{ + t}}\underline {\text{i}} + {\text{u}}\underline {\text{j}} + {\text{v}}\underline {\text{k}} , $$

with s, t, u, and v in R. The conjugate z̄ is now described thus:

$$ \overline {\text{z}} \,{\text{ = }}\,{\text{s}}\,{\text{ - t}}\underline {\text{i}} + {\text{u}}\underline {\text{j}} + {\text{v}}\underline {\text{k}} . $$

Note that zz̄ = z̄z = ǀzǀ2 . The real and imaginary parts of z in F are given by the formulae:

$$ 2\operatorname{Re} \left( {\text{z}} \right) = z + \overline z ,\,\,\,\,\,\,2\operatorname{Im} \left( {\text{z}} \right) = {\text{z - }}\overline {\text{z}} . $$

This is not the usual imaginary part in the complex case.
