Abstract

As is the case for the Laplace operator, in Euclidean Clifford analysis also the Helmholtz operator can be factorized, more precisely by using perturbed Dirac operators. In this paper we consider the Helmholtz equation in a circulant matrix form in the context of Hermitian Clifford analysis. The aim is to introduce and study the corresponding inhomogeneous Hermitian Dirac operators, which will constitute a splitting of the traditional perturbed Dirac operators of the Euclidean Clifford analysis context. This will not only lead to special solutions of the Hermitian Helmholtz equation as such, but also to the study of boundary value problems of Riemann type for those solutions, which are, in fact, solutions of the Hermitian perturbed Dirac operators involved.
