Abstract

Let Ω ⊂ ℝm+1 be open, let ∂ x be the Dirac operator in ℝm+1 and let ℝ0, m+1 be the Clifford algebra constructed over the quadratic space ℝ0, m+1. If for r ∈ {0, 1, ?., m} fixed, ℝ(r)0, m+1 denotes the space of r-vectors in ℝ0, m+1, then an Rdbl;r 0,m+1 ⊕ ℝ (r+2)0,m+1 -valued smooth function W = W r + W r+2 in Ω is said to satisfy the Moisil-Théodoresco system if ∂xW = 0{rm in},Ω. In terms of differential forms, this means that the corresponding (r (Ω) ⊕ r+2(Ω)) - valued smooth form w = w r + w r+2 satisfies in Ω the system d * w r = 0, dw r + d * w r+2 = 0; dw r+2 = 0. Based on techniques and results concerning conjugate harmonic functions in the framework of Clifford analysis, a structure theorem is proved for the solutions of the Moisil-Théodoresco system.
