Hyperspherical Trigonometry and Corresponding Elliptic Functions

We develop the basic formulae of hyperspherical trigonometry in multidimensional Euclidean space, using multidimensional vector products, and their conversion to identities for elliptic functions. We show that the basic addition formulae for functions on the 3-sphere embedded in 4-dimensional space lead to addition formulae for elliptic functions, associated with algebraic curves, which have two distinct moduli. We give an application of these formulae to the cases of a multidimensional Euler top, using them to provide a link to the Double Elliptic model.

Abstract

We develop the basic formulae of hyperspherical trigonometry in multidimensional Euclidean space, using multidimensional vector products, and their conversion to identities for elliptic functions. We show that the basic addition formulae for functions on the 3-sphere embedded in 4-dimensional space lead to addition formulae for elliptic functions, associated with algebraic curves, which have two distinct moduli. We give an application of these formulae to the cases of a multidimensional Euler top, using them to provide a link to the Double Elliptic model.
