Abstract
Let ℝ0,m+1(s) be the space of s-vectors (0≤s≤m+1) in the Clifford
algebra ℝ0,m+1 constructed over the quadratic vector space ℝ0,m+1, let r,p,q∈ℕ with 0≤r≤m+1, 0≤p≤q, and r+2q≤m+1, and let ℝ0,m+1(r,p,q)=∑j=pq⨁ ℝ0,m+1(r+2j). Then, an ℝ0,m+1(r,p,q)-valued smooth function W defined in an open subset Ω⊂ℝm+1 is said to satisfy the generalized
Moisil-Théodoresco system of type (r,p,q) if ∂xW=0 in Ω, where ∂x is the Dirac operator in ℝm+1. A structure theorem is proved
for such functions, based on the construction of conjugate harmonic
pairs. Furthermore, if Ω is bounded with boundary Γ, where Γ is
an Ahlfors-David regular surface, and if W is a ℝ0,m+1(r,p,q)-valued Hölder
continuous function on Γ, then necessary and sufficient conditions are
given under which W admits on Γ a Cauchy integral decomposition
W=W++W−.
1. Introduction
Clifford analysis, a function theory for the Dirac
operator in Euclidean space
(
), generalizes in an elegant way the theory of
holomorphic functions in the complex plane to a higher dimension and provides
at the same time a refinement of the theory of harmonic functions. One of the
basic properties relied upon in building up this function theory is the fact
that the Dirac operator
in
factorizes the
Laplacian
through the
relation
. The Dirac operator
is defined by
, where
and
is an
orthogonal basis for the quadratic space
, the latter being the space
equipped with a
quadratic form of signature
. By virtue of the basic multiplication rules
(1.1)valid in the universal Clifford
algebra
constructed
over
, the factorization
is thus
obtained.
Notice that
is a real
linear associative algebra of dimension
, having as standard basis the set
where
,
,
, and
, the identity element in
.
Now let
be open and let
be a
-function in
. Then,
is said to be
left monogenic in
if
in
. The equation
gives rise to a
first-order linear elliptic system of partial differential equations in the
components
of
By choosing
as an
orthogonal basis for the quadratic space
, then inside
,
thus generates
the Clifford algebra
. It is then easily seen that
(1.2)where
. If the
-valued
-function
in
is decomposed
following (1.2), that is
where
and
are
-valued
-functions in
, then in 
(1.3)where
is the
Cauchy-Riemann operator in
and
is the Dirac
operator in
.
Obviously the system (1.3) generalizes the classical
Cauchy-Riemann system in the plane: it indeed suffices in the case
to take
-valued and
-valued.
Left monogenic functions in
are real
analytic, whence by virtue of
, they are in particular
-valued and
harmonic in
.
As the algebra
is
noncommutative, one could as well consider right monogenic functions
in
, that is
satisfies the
equation
in
. If both
and
in
, then
is said to be
two-sided monogenic in
.
Notice also that through a natural linear isomorphism
(see Section 2), the spaces
and
of smooth
-valued
functions and smooth differential forms in
may be
identified. The left and right actions of
on
then correspond
to the actions of
and
on
, where
and
denote,
respectively, the exterior derivative and the coderivative operators. For the
sake of completeness, let us recall the definition of
and
on the space
of smooth
-forms in
,
(see [1]).
For
with
where
,
,
and
are defined
by
(1.4) A smooth differential form
satisfying
in
was called in
[2] a self-conjugate
differential form.
It thus becomes clear that through the identifications
mentioned (see again Section 2) a subsystem of (1.3) corresponds to a subsystem
of self-conjugate differential forms and vice versa. For instance, for
fixed, the
study of left monogenic
-vector valued
functions
thus
corresponds to the study of
-forms
satisfying the
Hodge-de Rham system
and
.
Let us recall that the space
of
-vectors in
(
) is defined by
(1.5)For an account on recent
investigations on subsystems of (1.3) or, equivalently, on the study of
particular systems of self-conjugate differential forms, we refer to [2–10].
Now fix
, take
such that
and
, and put
(1.6)The present paper is devoted to
the study of
-valued smooth
functions
in
which are left
monogenic in
(i.e., which
satisfy
in
). The space of
such functions is henceforth denoted by
. The system
defines a
subsystem of (1.3), called the generalized Moisil-Théodoresco system of type
in
.
To be more precise, let us first recall the definition
of the differential operators
and
acting on
smooth
-valued
functions
in
. Call
the space of
smooth
-valued
functions in
and put for
,
(1.7)
Note that
is
-valued while
is
-valued and
that through the isomorphism
, the action of
and
on
corresponds to,
respectively, the action of
and
on the space
.
If
is written
as
(1.8)we then have that the
generalized Moisil-Théodoresco system of type
reads as
follows (see also Section 2):
(1.9)Note that for
and
fixed, the
system (1.9) reduces to the generalized Riesz system
Its solutions are called harmonic multivector fields (see also
[11]). We
have
(1.10)Furthermore, for
,
and
fixed, the
system (1.9) reduces to the Moisil-Théodoreco system in
(see, e.g.,
[3]):
(1.11)In the particular case, where
,
and
, the original Moisil-Théodoresco system introduced in
[12] is reobtained
(see also [4]).
In this paper, two problems are dealt with;
we list them as follows.
(i)
To characterize
the structure of solutions to the system (1.9).
It is proved in
Section 4 (see Theorem 3.2) that, under certain geometric conditions upon
, each
corresponds to
a harmonic potential
belonging to a
particular subspace of the space
of harmonic
-valued
functions in
.
The proof of Theorem 3.2 relies heavily on the
construction of conjugate harmonic pairs elaborated in Section 3.
(ii)
To characterize those
which admit a
Cauchy-type integral decomposition on
of the
form
(1.12)
where
is the boundary
of a bounded open domain
in
and
denotes the
space of
-valued Hölder
continuous functions of order
on
,
. Putting
, the elements
and
should also
belong to
and as such
should be the boundary values of solutions
and
of (1.9) in
and
, respectively.
In Section 5, this problem is solved in terms of the
Cauchy transform
on
,
being an
-dimensional
Ahlfors-David regular surface (see Theorem 4.2).
In order to make the paper self-contained, we include
in Section 2 some basic properties of Clifford algebras and Clifford analysis.
For a general account of this function theory, we refer, for example, to the
monographs [13–15].
2. Clifford Analysis: Notations and Some Basic Properties
Let again
be an
orthogonal basis for
and let
be the universal
Clifford algebra over
. As has already been mentioned in Section 1,
is a real
linear associative but noncommutative algebra of dimension
; its standard basis is given by the set
and the basic
multiplication rules are governed by (1.1). For
fixed, the
space
of
-vectors is
defined by (1.5), leading to the decomposition
(2.1)and the associated projection
operators
.
Note in particular that for
,
and that for
,
.
An element
is therefore
usually identified with
.
For
, the product
splits in two
parts, namely,
(2.2)where
is the scalar
part of
and
is the 2-vector
or bivector part of
. They are given by
(2.3)
More generally, for
and
(
), we have that the product
decomposes
into
(2.4)where
(2.5)
Another useful decomposition of
may be obtained
by splitting it “along the
-direction,”
as indicated in (1.2). This in fact means that we split
following
and that within
, the Clifford algebra
is generated by
the orthogonal basis
of
.
denotes the
space
to which the
original quadratic form of signature
on
has been
restricted.
Following the decomposition (1.2), the element
is then often
identified with the so-called paravector
.
Let us also recall that if
is open and
is an
-valued
-function in
, then
is said to be
left monogenic in
if
in
,
being the Dirac
operator in
.
As already mentioned in (1.3), by putting
,
being the Dirac
operator in
, we have for
,
(2.6)Let us recall that a pair
of
-valued
harmonic functions in
is said to be
conjugate harmonic if
is left
monogenic in
(see [16]).
Notice also that, when defining the conjugate
of
by
, we have that
.
If
is a subspace
of
, then
and
denote,
respectively, the spaces of left monogenic and harmonic
-valued
functions in
. As
we have that
.
In particular, for
such that
,
with
, we have put in Section 1 (see (1.6)),
and
.
Furthermore, for
fixed, a
natural isomorphism
(2.7)may be then defined as follows.
Put for
,
(2.8)where for each
with
,
and
for all
.
By means of the decomposition (2.1),
may be extended
by linearity to
, thus leading to the isomorphism
, where as usual
.
It may be easily checked that the action of the
exterior derivative
and the
co-derivative
on
then
corresponds through
to the left
action of
and
on
. For the definition of
and
(resp.,
and
) we refer to (1.4) and (1.7). In fact, taking into account the relations (2.5), the expressions (1.7) mean that for
,
(2.9)
Consequently, for
,
splits
into
(2.10)It thus follows that for
, the system
is given by
(1.9).
Obviously, for
,
, while for
,
. Finally, notice that
and that hence,
as mentioned in Section 1, through
, the left action of
on
corresponds to
the action of
on
. We thus have on
that
.
The following notations will also be
used:
(2.11)
Let us recall that if
is contractible
to a point, a refined version of the inverse Poincaré lemma then implies
that
(2.12)
are surjective operators.
For the inverse Poincaré lemma and its refined version
we refer to, respectively, [1, 17]. For more information concerning the interplay
between differential forms and multivectors, the reader is referred to
[17, 18].
Obviously, all notions, notations, and properties
introduced above may be easily adapted to the case where
is the
orthogonal projection of
on
and
and
are the Dirac
and Laplace operators in
.
3. Conjugate Harmonic Pairs
Let
be as in
Section 1, let
with
, and decompose each
following (1.2),
that is
(3.1)where
and
.
Then,
with
(3.2)
Now suppose that
, that is,
is a conjugate
harmonic pair in
in the sense of
[16]. Then, as already
stated in (1.3),
(3.3)By virtue of (2.10) and (3.2), the
equations in (3.3) lead to the systems
(3.4)
(3.5)From (3.5) it thus follows that
implies that
in
.
We now claim that, under certain geometric conditions
upon
, given
, harmonic and
-valued in
, the condition
in
is sufficient
to ensure the existence of a
, harmonic and
-valued in
, which is conjugate harmonic to
, that is
.
In proving this statement, we will adapt where
necessary the techniques worked out in [16] for constructing conjugate harmonic pairs.
Let again
denote the orthogonal
projection of
on
. Then, we suppose henceforth that
satisfies the
following conditions (C1) and (C2):
(C1)
is normal with
respect to the
direction, that
is, there exists
such that for
all
,
is connected
and it contains the element
;
(C2)
is contractible
to a point.
The condition (C1) is sufficient
for constructing harmonic conjugates to
(see [16]), while the condition (C2) ensures the
applicability of the inverse Poincaré lemma and its consequences in
(see [17]).
As is well known, classical results of cohomology
theory provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the
inverse Poincaré lemma in
. For convenience of the reader, we restrict ourselves
to the condition (C2), thus making the inverse Poincaré lemma applicable
for any closed or coclosed form
in
(
).
Now assume that
harmonic and
that
-valued in
satisfies the
condition
in
.
Put
(3.6)where
is a smooth
-valued
solution in
of the
equation
(3.7)As
is surjective
(see [19]), such
indeed exists
and any other similar solution of (3.7) has the form
where
.
Fix a solution
of (3.7). Then
by construction, the corresponding
determined by
(3.6) belongs to
(see [16]).
We now prove that there exists
such that in
,
(3.8)To this end, first notice that,
as by assumption
in
, we have that
in
, whence
.
As
is surjective (see also (2.12)) there exists
such that
, that is,
satisfies in
the
relations
(3.9)Furthermore, put
. Then, on the one hand,
(3.10)while on the other
hand
(3.11)Consequently,
in
and
is
-valued in
.
Now define
by
(3.12)Then by construction,
and clearly in
,
.
Furthermore, as
in
,
is
-valued and
obviously
is
-valued. As
moreover
, we get that
is
-valued.
Consequently, as
,
, that is,
is a conjugate
harmonic pair in
.
We have thus proved the following
theorem.
Theorem 3.1.
Let
be open and
normal with respect to the
-direction and
let
be contractible
to a point. Furthermore, let
be given. Then,
admits a
conjugate harmonic
if and only if
in
.
Remarks
(1) If
, then
in
, thus implying that the condition
is
automatically satisfied and that in constructing
, no correction term
should be added
to
(i.e., we may
take
in
(3.12)).
(2) It is of course
tacitly understood that if
, then in the expression of
(see (3.2)), the
first term
is taken to be
identically zero in
.
(3) The systems (3.4) and (3.5) show a lot of symmetry.
The following
theorem (Theorem 3.2) holds, the proof of which is omitted.
Theorem 3.2.
Let
be open and
normal with respect to the
-direction and
let
be contractible
to a point. Furthermore, let
be given. Then,
admits a
conjugate harmonic

in
.
4. Structure Theorems
Assume that

This section essentially deals with the construction
of harmonic potentials corresponding to solutions of the generalized
Moisil-Théodoresco system.
We start with the following
lemma.

Conversely, assume that
and put

it follows
that
(4.1)By a refined version of the
inverse Poincaré lemma (see [17]) we obtain from the first equation in (4.1) that there
exists
such that in 
(4.2)Analogously, the third equation
in (4.1) implies the existence of
(4.3)such that in 
(4.4)Put

example where as well
as
occurs when

(4.9)Then, for
,
(4.10)Both equations in (4.10) give rise
to the same system to be satisfied by
, namely
(4.11)The system (4.11) is the Fueter
system in
for so-called
left regular functions of a quaternion variable; it lies at the basis of
quaternionic analysis (see [20, 21]).
We have taken this example from [2], where it was proved in the
framework of self-conjugate differential forms. We have inserted it here
because it demonstrates how quaternionic analysis can be viewed upon as part of
Clifford analysis in
, namely as the theory of special solutions to a
generalized Moisil-Théodoresco system in
of type
.
(4) In the case
where
and
, Lemma 4.1 tells us that, given
, there exists
such that
. This result was already obtained in [3, Lemma 3.1].
Theorem 4.2.
Let

normal with respect to the
-direction, let

to a point, and let

Proof.
(i)→(ii). Let

Associate with

As moreover
in

3.1), it thus follows from (4.12) that

From

Conversely, let

Remarks
(1) Theorem 4.2 tells
us that each
admits an
- valued
harmonic potential
in
satisfying
.
(2) Let

and
. Then from Theorem 4.2, it follows that the following
properties are equivalent:
(i)

This
characterization was already obtained in [3, Theorem 3.1].
5. Cauchy Integral Decompositions
Let
be a bounded
open subset with boundary
where
is a
rectifiable closed Jordan curve such that for some constant
and this for
all
and
, where
is the closed
disc with center
and radius
and
is the
1-dimensional Hausdorff measure on
. Furthermore, let
and let
,
.
In classical complex analysis, the following jump
problem (5.1) is solved by means of the Cauchy transform:
“Find a pair of functions
and
, holomorphic in
and
with
, such that
are
continuously extendable to
and that on 
(5.1)where in (5.1),
.”
Let
be the Cauchy
transform on
, that is, for
,
(5.2)where
is the outward
pointing unit normal at
and
is the
elementary Lebesgue measure on
.
Then, the following fundamental properties hold (see,
e.g., [22]):
(i)
is holomorphic
and of the class
on
with
;
(ii)
Plemelj-Sokhotzki formulae:
(5.3)where for
,
(5.4)define the Hilbert transform
on

(iii)

It thus follows
that the answer to the jump problem (5.1) is indeed given by
.
The decomposition (iii) thus obtained is known as the
Cauchy integral decomposition of
on
.
Now let
be a bounded
and open subset of
with boundary
. Then, in Clifford analysis, for suitable pairs
of boundaries
and
-valued
functions
on
, the Cauchy transform
is defined
by
(5.5)
where the following conditions hold.
(i)
,
, is the fundamental solution of the Dirac operator

the unit sphere in
.

-valued and
monogenic in
.
(ii)
is the outward
pointing unit normal at
.
(iii)
is the
-dimensional
Hausdorff measure on
. For the definition of
, see, for example, [23, 24].
In what follows
we restrict ourselves to the following conditions on the pair
(see also the
remarks made at the end of this section).
(C1)
is an
-dimensional
Ahlfors-David regular surface, that is, there exists a constant
such that for
all
and
,
(5.6)where
is the closed
ball in
with center

and
is the diameter
of

example, [24, 25].
(C2)
,
,
being the space
of
-valued Hölder
continuous functions of order
on
.
Under the
conditions (C1) and (C2), the following properties hold (see, e.g.,
[26–28]):
(i)
is left
monogenic in
and
;
(ii)
(Plemelj-Sokhotzki formulae) the functions
determined
by
(5.7)belong to
, where
(5.8)the integral being taken in the
sense of principal values;
(iii)
,
.
It thus follows
that, given a Hölder continuous
-valued density
on
, the jump problem (5.9)
“Find
and
, belonging to
and which are
the boundary values of left monogenic functions
and
in,
respectively,
and
with
such that on 
(5.9)
is solved by considering the
Cauchy transform
. Indeed, we can take
in
and
in
.
Now let again
be a triplet
satisfying
and
with
, and let
.
As
is
-valued, it is
easily seen that
is
-valued.
Consequently, if the jump problem (5.9) is formulated in terms of
-valued Hölder
continuous functions
,
, and
on
, then if we wish to solve it by means of the Cauchy
transform
, restrictions on
have to be
imposed, namely, in
we should
have
(5.10)
The very heart of the following
theorem (Theorem 5.1) tells us that the conditions (5.10) are necessary and
sufficient. Although the arguments used in proving Theorem 5.1 are similar to the
ones given in the proof of [29, Theorem 4.1], for convenience of the reader we write
them out in full detail.
Theorem 5.1.
Let
be open and
bounded such that
is an
-dimensional
Ahlfors-David regular surface and let
with
and
. The following properties are equivalent:
(i)
admits on
a decomposition
, where
belong to
and moreover
are the boundary values of functions
with

(iii)
,
(iv)
and
in
.
Proof.
(i)→(ii). Assume that
, where
and
satisfy the
conditions given in (i). Then
(5.11)In view of the assumptions made
on

,
in
and that
in
.
Consequently,
(5.12)As
with
(ii) is
proved.
(ii)→(iii): Trivial.
(iii)→(iv). Let us first recall that
is left
monogenic in
with
.
According to the decomposition
(5.13)and by the assumption made on
, it follows from [1] that
(5.14)Furthermore, as
and
split into an
and an
, respectively, into an
and an
multivector, we
obtain from [22] that

(5.15)
Moreover, as by assumption

-valued, by
virtue of the Plemelj-Sokhotzki formulae, we obtain that on 
(5.16)
Furthermore,
and
are Hölder
continuous on
.
It thus follows that
and
are left
monogenic in
and
continuously extendable to

are left
monogenic in
.
Finally, as

[31]) that
and
in
.
(iv)→(i). First note that, as
, by means of the Plemelj-Sokhotzki formulae, we have
on
that
(5.17)In view of the assumption (iv) made, the functions
defined in
by
obviously belong to
and they
satisfy all required properties.
Remarks
(1) In the last
decades, intensive research has been done in studying the Cauchy integral
transform and the associated singular integral operator on curves
in the plane or
on hypersurfaces
in
. Two types of boundary data are usually considered,
namely a Hölder continuous density or an
-density
.
In this section, we have formulated the jump problems
(5.1) and (5.9) in terms of Hölder continuous densities. The reason for this is
that in proving some of the equivalences stated in Theorem 5.1, the continuous
extendability of the Cauchy integral up to the boundary plays a crucial role.
This becomes clear for instance when use is made of Painlevé's theorem in
proving the implication “(iii)→(iv)”.
Note that for
(
), the continuous extendability of
was already obtained
in 1965 by V. Iftimie in the case where
is a compact

introduction and the references in [35] contain a detailed account of the historical
background of the jump problems (5.1) and (5.9).

in [39]. For
open, bounded

connected, a set of equivalent properties was obtained ensuring the validity of
the Cauchy integral decomposition for

satisfied.
Analogously, if

(5.19)then
and so the
condition (ii) in Theorem 5.1 is again satisfied.
