The structure of idempotent translatable quasigroups

Rings and Algebras 2018-10-11 v1

Abstract

We prove the main result that a groupoid of order n is an idempotent k-translatable quasigroup if and only if its multiplication is given by x.y = (ax+by)(mod n), where a+b = 1(mod n), a+bk = 0(mod n) and (k,n)= 1. We describe the structure of various types of idempotent, k-translatable quasigroups, some of which are connected with affine geometry and combinatorial algebra, and their parastrophes. We prove that such parastrophes are also idempotent, translatable quasigroups and determine when they are of the same type as the original quasigroup. In addition, we find several different necessary and sufficient conditions making a k-translatable quasigroup quadratical.
