- P . R . Girard's essay " The quaternion group and modern physics " discusses some roles of quaternions in physics.
- "' Sign representations with i, j, k-kernel "': the quaternion group has three maximal normal subgroups : the cyclic subgroups generated by respectively.
- The quaternion group has the unusual property of being Hamiltonian : every subgroup of Q is a normal subgroup, but the group is non-abelian.
- Considered with the operations of component-wise addition, and multiplication according to the quaternion group, this collection forms a 4-dimensional unit or a zero divisor.
