Global effects in quaternionic quantum field theory

TL;DR

This paper explores a quaternionic quantum field theory that predicts cosmic strings and dark matter candidates by making the quaternionic structure a dynamical element, revealing significant global implications of the model.

Contribution

It introduces a locally complex quaternionic quantum field theory where the quaternionic structure is dynamic, leading to novel cosmological predictions.

Findings

Prediction of cosmic strings from the model

Identification of non-baryonic hot dark matter candidates

Global consequences of quaternionic quantum field theory

Abstract

We present some striking global consequences of a model quaternionic quantum field theory which is locally complex. We show how making the quaternionic structure a dynamical quantity naturally leads to the prediction of cosmic strings and non-baryonic hot dark matter candidates.
