Generalized right central loops. (Q898018): Difference between revisions

A loop is called an RC-loop (right central loop in the author's terminology) if it satisfies the four equivalent identities \(((xz)z)y=x((zz)y)\), \(x(y(zz))=((xy)z)z\), \(x((yz)z)=((xy)z)z\), \(x((yz)z)=(xy)(zz)\). Following the pattern found in other works, the author considers so called generalized RC-loops, defined by replacing the second occurrence of the variable \(z\) by \(\sigma(z)\), where \(\sigma\) is a self-mapping of the loop. This gives rise to four new loop properties, which are in turn proved to be equivalent. The paper continues with a long list of elementary properties of generalized RC-loops.
