Abstract
Some relationships between the arithmetic and the geometry of Lipschitz and Hurwitz integers are presented. In particular, it is shown that the (ternary) vector product of a Lipschitz integer with two other Lipschitz integers, both orthogonal to , is a left and also a right multiple of , and that the vector product of two left multiples of with any other Lipschitz integer is still a left multiple of . We also provide new arithmetical proofs for some old results of Gordon Pall, and raise a geometric problem on the location of some integral quaternions that is related to the factorization of some integers.
