Characters of finite quasigroups. II: Induced characters (Q1080532): Difference between revisions

In part I [ibid. 5, 43-50 (1984; Zbl 0537.20042)] the authors introduced the elements of a theory of characters for finite non-empty quasigroups, generalizing the characters of finite groups. In the present paper, the development of this theory is continued by showing how characters of a subquasigroup may be induced up to characters of a containing quasigroup. The Frobenius reciprocity theorem and an analogue of Artin's theorem for these characters are proved. Character rings of quasigroups are also examined.
