Chirality and Racemization on Isotopy Classes of Quasigroups

Abstract

We develop a structural and dynamical theory of chirality for quasigroups formulated at the level of isotopy classes. Interpreting isotopy as a gauge symmetry of re-coordinatization and mirror parastrophy as handedness reversal, we introduce a gauge-invariant continuous-time two-state Markov model in which transitions occur only between a quasigroup and its mirror. We prove that this dynamics descends to the isotopy quotient, yielding a reduced generator governed by a single class-dependent rate k([Q])k([Q]). Symmetric mirror transitions lead to convergence toward a racemic equilibrium, whereas the vanishing condition k([Q])=0k([Q])=0 characterizes dynamical chiral stability. By restricting admissible transitions to those generated by intrinsic symmetries, we show that k([Q])=0k([Q])=0 is equivalent to the absence of mirror-isotopisms. A concrete example of order 77 demonstrates the existence of structurally chiral quasigroup classes.
