Quasigroups
Abbreviation: Qgrp
Definition
A \emph{quasigroup} is a structure A=⟨A,⋅,∖,/⟩ of type ⟨2,2,2⟩ such that
(y/x)x=y, x(x∖y)=y
(xy)/y=x, x∖(xy)=y
Remark:
Morphisms
Let A and B be quasigroups. A morphism from A to B is a function h:A→B that is a homomorphism:
h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(x∖y)=h(x)∖h(y), h(x/y)=h(x)/h(y).
