Abstract

This paper develops a systematic framework for the study of tricomplex polynomials and their roots within the multicomplex space C_3. A complete characterization of root behavior is established, encompassing all possible cases—finitely many roots, no roots, and infinitely many roots. Under the non-singularity condition γ_(n )∉O(i_1,i_2,i_3), we show that every tricomplex polynomial factors fully into linear components. Consequently, we prove that a polynomial of degree n in the tricomplex space C_3 possesses exactly n^4 roots, counted with multiplicities, thereby extending the classical Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to the tricomplex setting. We further identify conditions ensuring that the presence of one root guarantees all of its conjugates as roots. Additionally, the quadratic equation ζ^2=η, for η∈C_3, is solved in complete generality, yielding a full classification of tricomplex square roots. These results enhance the structural understanding of polynomial theory in tricomplex algebra and contribute to the broader development of multicomplex analysis.

Thank you for sharing this intriguing preprint on "The Tricomplex Polynomial and Its Root Structure"! The extension of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to tricomplex numbers, with the precise characterization of n⁴ roots under non-singularity conditions, is a elegant and rigorous advancement. The insights into factorization and conjugate root behaviors open up promising avenues for multicomplex analysis. Looking forward to its applications in higher-dimensional algebra—fantastic work!
