Plenary stable quasigroups

Philip Holgate (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Some results are obtained for quasigroups in which the operation of iterated squaring always leads to stability irrespective of the initial element.

Polyabelian loops and Boolean completeness

François Lemieux, Cristopher Moore, Denis Thérien (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider the question of which loops are capable of expressing arbitrary Boolean functions through expressions of constants and variables. We call this property Boolean completeness. It is a generalization of functional completeness, and is intimately connected to the computational complexity of various questions about expressions, circuits, and equations defined over the loop. We say that a loop is polyabelian if it is an iterated affine quasidirect product of Abelian groups; polyabelianness...

Possible orders of nonassociative Moufang loops

Orin Chein, Andrew Rajah (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The paper surveys the known results concerning the question: “For what values of n does there exist a nonassociative Moufang loop of order n ?” Proofs of the newest results for n odd, and a complete resolution of the case n even are also presented.

Powers and alternative laws

Nicholas Ormes, Petr Vojtěchovský (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A groupoid is alternative if it satisfies the alternative laws x ( x y ) = ( x x ) y and x ( y y ) = ( x y ) y . These laws induce four partial maps on + × + ( r , s ) ...

Powers of elements in Jordan loops

Kyle Pula (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A Jordan loop is a commutative loop satisfying the Jordan identity ( x 2 y ) x = x 2 ( y x ) . We establish several identities involving powers in Jordan loops and show that there is no nonassociative Jordan loop of order 9 .

Products of partially ordered quasigroups

Milan Demko (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for a direct product and a lexicographic product of partially ordered quasigroups to be a positive quasigroup. Analogous questions for Riesz quasigroups are studied.

Pseudoautomorphisms of Bruck loops and their generalizations

Mark Greer, Michael Kinyon (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that in a weak commutative inverse property loop, such as a Bruck loop, if α is a right [left] pseudoautomorphism with companion c , then c [ c 2 ] must lie in the left nucleus. In particular, for any such loop with trivial left nucleus, every right pseudoautomorphism is an automorphism and if the squaring map is a permutation, then every left pseudoautomorphism is an automorphism as well. We also show that every pseudoautomorphism of a commutative inverse property loop is an automorphism, generalizing...

Quantum idempotence, distributivity, and the Yang-Baxter equation

J. D. H. Smith (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Quantum quasigroups and loops are self-dual objects that provide a general framework for the nonassociative extension of quantum group techniques. They also have one-sided analogues, which are not self-dual. In this paper, natural quantum versions of idempotence and distributivity are specified for these and related structures. Quantum distributive structures furnish solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation.

Quasigroup automorphisms and symmetric group characters

Brent Kerby, Jonathan D. H. Smith (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The automorphisms of a quasigroup or Latin square are permutations of the set of entries of the square, and thus belong to conjugacy classes in symmetric groups. These conjugacy classes may be recognized as being annihilated by symmetric group class functions that belong to a λ -ideal of the special λ -ring of symmetric group class functions.

Quasigroup covers of division groupoids

Jaroslav J. Ježek, Tomáš Kepka, Petr Němec (2023)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G be a division groupoid that is not a quasigroup. For each regular cardinal α > | G | we construct a quasigroup Q on G × α that is a quasigroup cover of G (i.e., G is a homomorphic image of Q and G is not an image of any quasigroup that is a proper factor of Q ). We also show how to easily obtain quasigroup covers from free quasigroups.

Quasigroups arisen by right nuclear extension

Péter T. Nagy, Izabella Stuhl (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The aim of this paper is to prove that a quasigroup Q with right unit is isomorphic to an f -extension of a right nuclear normal subgroup G by the factor quasigroup Q / G if and only if there exists a normalized left transversal Σ Q to G in Q such that the right translations by elements of Σ commute with all right translations by elements of the subgroup G . Moreover, a loop Q is isomorphic to an f -extension of a right nuclear normal subgroup G by a loop if and only if G is middle-nuclear, and there exists...
