  • In this paper we briefly describe the geometry of the Cayley hyperbolic plane and we show that every uniform lattice in quaternionic space cannot be deformed in the Cayley hyperbolic 2-plane. We also describe the nongeometric bending deformation by developing the theory of the Cartan angular invariant for quaternionic hyperbolic space.

  • We study totally real and complex subsets of a right quarternionic vector space of dimension n + 1 with a Hermitian form of signature (n, 1) and extend these notions to right quaternionic projective space. Then we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a subset of a right quaternionic projective space to be totally real or complex in terms of the quaternionic Hermitian triple product. As an application, we show that the limit set of a non-elementary quaternionic Kleinian group 𝚪 is totally real (resp. commutative) with respect to the quaternionic Hermitian triple product if and only if 𝚪 leaves a real (resp. complex) hyperbolic subspace invariant.
