TL;DR
Do functions comparable to the spherical harmonics exist in case of sign changes in the algebra?
With the algebra so(3) are associated the spherical harmonics. I would assume that comparably with the algebra so(2,1) are associated functions that can be addressed as hyperbolic harmonics. But I nowhere found any reference to them. Do they exist and if so, where can they be found?

Thank you very much in advance.

Thread 'The colorful world of ##2\times 2## complex matrices'

The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
