The quaternionic Gauss-Lucas Theorem
Abstract
The classic Gauss-Lucas Theorem for complex polynomials of degree d2 has a natural reformulation over quaternions, obtained via rotation around the real axis. We prove that such a reformulation is true only for d=2. We present a new quaternionic version of the Gauss-Lucas Theorem valid for all d≥2, together with some consequences.
