Quaternion group

In group theory, the quaternion group Q8 (sometimes just denoted by Q) is a non-abelian group of order eight, isomorphic to the eight-element subset of the quaternions under multiplication. It is given by the group presentation where e is the identity element and e commutes with the other elements of the group. Another presentation of Q8 is (Wikipedia).

Quaternions EXPLAINED Briefly

This is a video I have been wanting to make for some time, in which I discuss what the quaternions are, as mathematical objects, and how we do calculations with them. In particular, we will see how the fundamental equation of the quaternions i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk=-1 easily generates the rule for

Quaternions as 4x4 Matrices - Connections to Linear Algebra

In math, it's usually possible to view an object or concept from many different (but equivalent) angles. In this video, we will see that the quaternions may be viewed as 4x4 real-valued matrices of a special form. What is interesting here is that if you know how to multiply matrices, you a

Geometric Algebra - Rotors and Quaternions

In this video, we will take note of the even subalgebra of G(3), see that it is isomorphic to the quaternions and, in particular, the set of rotors, themselves in the even subalgebra, correspond to the set of unit quaternions. This brings the entire subject of quaternions under the heading

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras: Lesson 2 - Quaternions

This video is about Lie Groups and Lie Algebras: Lesson 2 - Quaternions We study the algebraic nature of quaternions and cover the ideas of an algebra and a field. Later we will discover how quaternions fit into the description of the classical Lie Groups. NOTE: An astute viewer noted th

Quaternion algebras via their Mat2x2(F) representations

In this video we talk about general quaternion algebras over a field, their most important properties and how to think about them. The exponential map into unitary groups are covered. I emphasize the Hamiltionion quaternions and motivate their relation to the complex numbers. I conclude wi

Set Theory (Part 14c): More on the Quaternions

No background in sets required for this video. In this video, we will learn how the quaternions can be thought of as pairings of complex numbers. We also will show how the quaternions can be written as a 2x2 complex matrix as opposed to a 4x4 real matrix and how the unit quaternions form t

Representation theory: The Schur indicator

This is about the Schur indicator of a complex representation. It can be used to check whether an irreducible representation has in invariant bilinear form, and if so whether the form is symmetric or antisymmetric. As examples we check which representations of the dihedral group D8, the
