The classic Gauss-Lucas theorem for complex polynomials of degree $dge2$ has a natural reformulation over quaternions, obtained via rotation around the real axis. We prove that such a reformulation is true only for $d=2$. We present a new quaternionic version of the Gauss-Lucas theorem valid for all $dgeq2$, together with some consequences.

Abstract

The classic Gauss-Lucas theorem for complex polynomials of degree $dge2$ has a natural reformulation over quaternions, obtained via rotation around the real axis. We prove that such a reformulation is true only for $d=2$. We present a new quaternionic version of the Gauss-Lucas theorem valid for all $dgeq2$, together with some consequences.
