Bruck decomposition for endomorphisms of quasigroups

Group Theory 2009-04-30 v3

Abstract

In the year 1944 R. H. Bruck has described a very general construction method which he called the extension of a set by a quasigroup. We use it to construct a class of examples for LF-quasigroups in which the image of the map e(x)=x\xe(x)=x\backslash x is a group. More generally, we consider the variety of quasigroups which is defined by the property that the map ee is an endomorphism and its subvariety where the image of the map ee is a group. We characterize quasigroups belonging to these varieties using their Bruck decomposition with respect to the map ee.
