Abstract
Given a binary quasigroup of order , a -iterated quasigroup is the -ary quasigroup equal to the -times composition of with itself. The Cayley table of every -ary quasigroup is a -dimensional latin hypercube. Transversals and diagonals in multiary quasigroups are defined so as to coincide with those in the corresponding latin hypercube. We prove that if a group of order satisfies the Hall--Paige condition, then the number of transversals in is equal to for large , where is the commutator subgroup of . For a general quasigroup , we obtain similar estimations on the numbers of transversals and near transversals in and develop a method for counting diagonals of other types in iterated quasigroups.
