Isomorphism invariants for linear quasigroups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a unital ring S, an S-linear quasigroup is a unital S-module, with automorphisms ho and lambda giving a (nonassociative) multiplication xcdoty=xho+ylambda. If S is the field of complex numbers, then ordinary characters provide a complete linear isomorphism invariant for finite-dimensional S-linear quasigroups. Over other rings, it is an open problem to determine tractably computable isomorphism invariants. The paper investigates this isomorphism problem for mathbbZ-linear quasigroups. We consider the extent to which ordinary characters classify mathbbZ-linear quasigroups and their representations of the free group on two generators. We exhibit non-isomorphic mathbbZ-linear quasigroups with the same ordinary character. For a subclass of mathbbZ-linear quasigroups, equivalences of the corresponding ordinary representations are realized by permutational intertwinings. This leads to a new equivalence relation on mathbbZ-linear quasigroups, namely permutational similarity. Like the earlier concept of central isotopy, permutational similarity is intermediate between isomorphism and isotopy.


For a unital ring \(S\), an \(S\)-linear quasigroup is a unital \(S\)-module with automorphisms \(\rho\) and \(\lambda\) giving a (nonassociative) multiplication \(x\cdot y=x^{\rho}+y^{\lambda}\). The paper investigates the isomorphism problem for \(\mathbb{Z}\)-linear quasigroups. For a subclass of \(\mathbb{Z}\)-linear quasigroups, equivalences of the corresponding ordinary representations are realized by permutational intertwinings.
