Zeroes of weakly slice regular functions of several quaternionic variables on non-axially symmetric domains

Abstract

In this research, we study zeroes of weakly slice regular functions within the framework of several quaternionic variables, specifically focusing on non-axially symmetric domains. Our recent work introduces path-slice stem functions, along with a novel $*$-product, tailored for weakly slice regular functions. This innovation allows us to explore new techniques for conjugating and symmetrizing path-slice functions. A key finding of our study is the discovery that the zeroes of a path-slice function are comprehensively encapsulated within the zeroes of its symmetrized counterpart. This insight is particularly significant in the context of path-slice stem functions. We establish that for weakly slice regular functions, the processes of conjugation and symmetrization gain prominence once the function's slice regularity is affirmed. Furthermore, our investigation sheds light on the intricate nature of the zeroes of a slice regular function. We ascertain that these zeroes constitute a path-slice analytic set. This conclusion is drawn from the observed phenomenon that the zeroes of the symmetrization of a slice regular function also form a path-slice analytic set. This finding marks an advancement in understanding the complex structure and properties of weakly slice regular functions in quaternionic analysis.
