Quaternionic Analysis and the Algebrodynamics

Abstract

We present the ``algebrodynamical'' approach to field-particle theory based on a nonlinear generalization of the Cauchy-Riemann conditions to non-commutative algebras of quaternion-like type. For complex quaternions the theory is Lorentz invariant and naturally carries some gauge and twistor structures. Point- and string-like singularities are considered as particle-like formations; their electric charge is ``self-quantized''. A novel ``causal Minkowski geometry with additional phase'' is presented that is induced by the structure of primordial biquaternion algebra. On this geometrical background a self-consistent algebraic dynamics of singularities (``ensemble of dublicons'') is briefly discussed.
