Characterization of continuous homomorphisms on entire slice monogenic functions

This paper is inspired by a class of infinite order differential operators arising in quantum mechanics. They turned out to be an important tool in the investigation of evolution of superoscillations with respect to quantum fields equations. Infinite order differential operators act naturally on spaces of holomorphic functions or on hyperfunctions. Recently, infinite order differential operators have been considered and characterized on the spaces of entire monogenic functions, i.e. functions that are in the kernel of the Dirac operators. The focus of this paper is the characterization of infinite order differential operators that act continuously on a different class of hyperholomorphic functions, called slice hyperholomorphic functions with values in a Clifford algebra or also slice monogenic functions. This function theory has a very reach associated spectral theory and both the function theory and the operator theory in this setting are subjected to intensive investigations. Here we introduce the concept of proximate order and establish some fundamental properties of entire slice monogenic functions that are crucial for the characterization of infinite order differential operators acting on entire slice monogenic functions.
