Representation of Distributions by Harmonic and Monogenic Potentials in Euclidean Space

Abstract: In the framework of Clifford analysis, a chain of harmonic and monogenic potentials in the upper half of (m+1)-dimensional Euclidean space was recently constructed, including a higher dimensional analogue of the logarithmic function in the complex plane, and their distributional boundary values were computed. In this paper we determine these potentials in lower half-space, and investigate whether they can be extended through the boundary R^m. This is a stepping stone to the representation of a doubly infinite sequence of distributions in R^m, consisting of positive and negative integer powers of the Dirac and the Hilbert-Dirac operators, as the jump across R^m of monogenic functions in the upper and lower half-spaces, in this way providing a sequence of interesting examples of Clifford hyperfunctions.
