The g-structure associated with a multidimensional hexagonal 3-web, is closed (Q913267): Difference between revisions

Let W be a 3-web given on a 2r-dimensional manifold by three foliations of codimension r. Five classes of the webs W are well-known: T (Thomsen), R (Reidemeister), M (Moufang), B (Bol), and H (hexagonal). \textit{M. A. Akivis} proved that a g-structure associated with webs T, R, M and B is a closed g-structure [Itogi Nauki Tekh., Ser. Probl. Geom. 7, 69-79 (1975; Zbl 0549.53032)]. \textit{V. P. Botsu} [Deposited scientific paper - VINITI 5824-84, 27 p. (1984)] proved that hexagonal 3-webs of codimension 2 given on a 4-dimensional manifold are algebraizable, and this implies that the g-structure associated with these webs is also a closed g- structure. In the paper under review the author proves that the g-structure defined by a hexagonal 3-web of any codimension r is a closed g-structure of the 4th class. This allows him to prove that the canonical expansion for a local coordinate loop of an analytical hexagonal 3-web is completely defined by its jet of the 4th order. The last result generalizes the result of \textit{L. V. Sabinin} and \textit{P. O. Mikheev} [Theory of smooth Bol loops (Moscow 1985; Zbl 0584.53001)] according to which the Bol loop canonical expansion is completely defined by its jet of the 3rd order.
