Representation theory of polyadic groups.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, we introduce the notion of representations of polyadic groups and we investigate the connection between these representations and those of retract groups and covering groups.


In this paper, the action of an \(n\)-group \((G,f)\) on a set \(A\) and the stabilizer \(G_a\) of \(a\in A\), are defined. Also, the notion of representations of \(n\)-groups is introduced. We remark that although this is not the first attempt to study representations of \(n\)-groups, these authors' method is the most natural generalization of the notion of representation from binary to \(n\)-ary groups. The main properties of representations of \(n\)-groups with a special focus on ternary groups are investigated. The connections between these representations and those of retract groups [see \textit{W. A. Dudek} and \textit{J. Michalski}, Demonstr. Math. 15, 783-805 (1982; Zbl 0523.20045)] and covering groups [\textit{E. L. Post}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 48, 208-350 (1940; Zbl 0025.01201)] are also investigated. Finally, introducing the concept of normal \(n\)-subgroups of an \(n\)-group \((G,f)\) as a sub-\(n\)-group with property \(f(\overset{(n-3)} a,\overline a,h,a)\in H\) for all \(h\in H\) and \(a\in G\), the authors show that the representation theory of \(n\)-groups reduces to the following three problems: 1. representations of \(b\)-derived \(n\)-groups from Abelian groups; 2. determining all normal \(n\)-subgroups; 3. representation theory of binary groups.
