The tangential $k$-Cauchy-Fueter complexes and Hartogs' phenomenon over the right quaternionic Heisenberg group

Abstract: We construct the tangential $k$-Cauchy-Fueter complexes on the right quaternionic Heisenberg group, as the quaternionic counterpart of $\overline{\partial}_b$-complex on the Heisenberg group in the theory of several complex variables. We can use the $L^2$ estimate to solve the nonhomogeneous tangential $k$-Cauchy-Fueter equation under the compatibility condition over this group modulo a lattice. This solution has an important vanishing property when the group is higher dimensional. It allows us to prove the Hartogs' extension phenomenon for $k$-CF functions, which are the quaternionic counterpart of CR functions.
