Gyrogroup actions: A generalization of group actions
Abstract
This article explores the novel notion of gyrogroup actions, which is a natural generalization of the usual notion of group actions. As a first step toward the study of gyrogroup actions from the algebraic viewpoint, we prove three well-known theorems in group theory for gyrogroups: the orbit-stabilizer theorem, the orbit decomposition theorem, and the Burnside lemma (or the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma). We then prove that under a certain condition, a gyrogroup acts transitively on the set of left cosets of a subgyrogroup in in a natural way. From this we prove the structure theorem that every transitive action of a gyrogroup can be realized as a gyrogroup action by left gyroaddition. We also exhibit concrete examples of gyrogroup actions from the M\"obius and Einstein gyrogroups.
