Bi-gyrogroup: The group-like structure induced by bi-decomposition of groups
Abstract
The decomposition of a group into a subset and a subgroup of induces, under general conditions, a group-like structure for , known as a gyrogroup. The famous concrete realization of a gyrogroup, which motivated the emergence of gyrogroups into the mainstream, is the space of all relativistically admissible velocities along with a binary operation given by the Einstein velocity addition law of special relativity theory. The latter leads to the Lorentz transformation group , , in pseudo-Euclidean spaces of signature . The study in this article is motivated by generalized Lorentz groups , , in pseudo-Euclidean spaces of signature . Accordingly, this article explores the bi-decomposition of a group into a subset and subgroups and of , along with the novel bi-gyrogroup structure of induced by the bi-decomposition of . As an example, we show by methods of Clifford algebras that the quotient group of the spin group possesses the bi-decomposition structure.
