We generalize the property of complex numbers to be closely related to Euclidean circles by constructing new classes of complex numbers which in an analogous sense are closely related to semi-antinorm circles, ellipses, or functionals which are homogeneous with respect to certain diagonal matrix multiplication. We also extend Euler’s formula and discuss solutions of quadratic equations for the p-norm-antinorm realization of the abstract complex algebraic structure. In addition, we prove an advanced invariance property of certain probability densities.
