Classical operator theory in Banach and Hilbert spaces has been stimulated by several problems in mathematics and physics. Moreover, the theory of holomorphic functions plays a crucial role in operator theory and in particular in the definition of functions of operators. A great impulse was given to the development of operator theory at the beginning of the last century when quantum mechanics was formulated; in particular, the spectral theorem for unbounded normal operators on a Hilbert space was one of the most important achievements. In 1936, Birkhoff and von Neumann showed that quantum mechanics can be formulated on real, complex, and quaternionic numbers. So a natural problem was to understand what notion of spectrum one should use in quaternionic operator theory. This problem was solved only in 2006 with the discovery of the S-spectrum for quaternionic linear operators, and since then the quaternionic spectral theory has grown rapidly. The aim of this book is to give a systematic foundation of quaternionic spectral theory based on the S-spectrum and to present the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions, which will be used in the treatment of quaternionic operator theory.This book treats four main topics: the S-functional calculus, the F-functional calculus, the quaternionic spectral theorem, and the theory of quaternionic spectral operators. The S-functional calculus is the natural extension to the quaternionic setting of the Riesz–Dunford functional calculus, and it can be used to define the quaternionic H∞-functional calculus for quaternionic or vector sectorial operators. The H∞-functional calculus has important applications in fractional diffusion processes because it allows one to define fractional powers of vector operators such as the gradient or a generalization of the gradient operator with nonconstant coefficients. The F-functional calculus is based on an integral transform, called the Fueter-Sce mapping theorem in integral form, and it defines Fueter-regular functions of quaternionic operators. This calculus is based on slice hyperholomorphic functions and on the so-called F-resolvent operators that allow us to define, via an integral formula, functions of a quaternionic operator. We treat the spectral theorem for quaternionic normal operators based on the S-spectrum, which was proved in 2014 and published in 2016. The quaternionic spectral theorem for unbounded anti-selfadjoint operators is a very important tool for formulating quaternionic
