Abstract

We provide a classification of Fueter-regular quaternionic functions $f$ in terms of the degree of complex linearity of their real differentials $df$. Quaternionic imaginary units define orthogonal almost-complex structures on the tangent bundle of the quaternionic space by left or right multiplication. Every map of two complex variables that is holomorphic with respect to one of these structures defines a Fueter-regular function. We classify the differential $df$ of a Fueter-regular function $f$, roughly speaking, in terms of how many choices of complex structures make $df$ complex linear. It turns out that, generically, $f$ is not holomorphic with respect to any choice of almost-complex structures. In the special case when it is indeed holomorphic, generically there is a unique choice of almost-complex structures making it holomorphic. The case of holomorphy with respect to several choices of almost-complex structures is limited to conformal linear affine transformations or constants.
