Quaternions are here, absolutely, though in some descriptions they won’t be mentioned, but rather SU(2), which is a group made up of the unit quaternions
There are also spherical harmonics bursting out everywhere in the page I linked:
gregegan.net/SCIENCE/Ellipse/E…
That electrons are not like little planets is important, but all the symmetries of the *classical* Kepler problem leave an imprint on the quantum version.
- the latest version of my paper has a new section on quaternions (section 4.1):
This ends with an implicit question, namely how the quaternionic description of the hydrogen atom wavefunction in this section meshes with the quaternionic description at the end of section 6! I decided to put this version of the paper out there and worry about that question later. It involves some calculations that would be more fun to do working with @gregeganSF.
But I already know this: hydrogen atom wavefunctions are the same as functions
ψ: ℍ - {0} → ℍ
that obey the quaternionic analogue of the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Each such function is determined by its restriction to the unit sphere in the quaternions. Restricted to this sphere, we can think of such a function as a spinor field on the sphere, and we can express the hydrogen atom Hamiltonian in terms of the Dirac operator on the sphere.
Second Quantization for the Kepler Problem
The Kepler problem concerns a point particle in an attractive inverse square force. After a brief review of the classical and quantum versions of this problem, focused on their hidden $\text{SU}(2) \times \text{SU}(2)$ symmetry, we discuss the quantu…arXiv.org

Instead of giving into extortion, they should spend that money on lawyers to sue the Trump administration.
It was never applied equally, large powers such as China or Saudi Arabia didn’t face much blowback, yet there was a push for democracy & human rights around the world. It’s now gone.

in reply to Ulrike Franke • • •they are congruent when you acknowledge one party is comprised of systems, processes, and competent people all working together to get things right and the other party is a group of incompetent, lying, objectively evil criminals led by a felon with a lifelong history of organised crime based on dishonesty for dishonesty's sake.
in short: the liars are lying and the honest people are telling the truth.
