Properties of -ary groups connected with the affine geometry are considered. Some conditions for an -ary -group to be derived from a binary group are given. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an -ary group -derived from an additive group of a field to be an -group are obtained. The existence of non-commutative -ary -groups which are not derived from any group of arity for every , is proved.
The aim of the paper is to show that if S(G) is distributive, and also G satisfies some additional condition, then the union of any two subgroupoids of G is also a subgroupoid (intuitively, G has to be in some sense a unary algebra).
The notion of a TST-space is introduced and its connection with a parallelogram space is given. The existence of a TST-space is equivalent to the existence of a parallelogram space, which is a new characterization of a parallelogram space. The structure of a TST-space is described in terms of an abelian group.
