Abstract

This communication compiles propositions concerning the spherical geometry of rotations when represented by unit quaternions. The propositions are thought to establish a two‐way correspondence between geometrical objects in the space of real unit quaternions representing rotations and geometrical objects constituted by directions in the three‐dimensional space subjected to these rotations. In this way a purely geometrical proof of the spherical Ásgeirsson's mean value theorem and a geometrical interpretation of integrals related to the spherical Radon transform of a probability density functions of unit quaternions are accomplished.
