Weyl calculus perspective on the discrete Stokes' formula in octonions

Abstract

Octonions are 8-dimensional hypercomplex numbers which form the biggest normed division algebras over the real numbers. Motivated by applications in theoretical physics, continuous octonionic analysis has become an area of active research in recent year. Looking at possible practical applications, it is beneficial to work directly with discrete structures, rather than approximate continuous objects. Therefore, in previous papers, we have proposed some ideas towards the discrete octonionic analysis. It is well known, that there are several possibilities to discretise the continuous setting, and the Weyl calculus approach, which is typically used in the discrete Clifford analysis, to octonions has not been studied yet. Therefore, in this paper, we close this gap by presenting the discretisation of octonionic analysis based on the Weyl calculus.
