What is Bernoulli umbra philosophically?

35 Views Asked by At

Well, Bernoulli umbra is an umbra whose moments are the Bernoulli numbers.

But what is it philosophically?

For instance, we can consider imaginary unit $i$ an umbra with moments $\{1,0,-1,0,1,...\}$, hyperbolic unity $j$ as an umbra with moments $\{1,0,1,0,1,0,...\}$.

Can we in the same way somehow think about Bernoulli umbra as some kind of a hypercomplex "number", vector or series or whatever other object that can be geometrically represented and imagined, that has algebraic properties besides having those moments?

Is there any geometric or set-theoretic object that represents Bernoulli umbra?
