Rectangular groupoids and related structures
نویسنده
چکیده
The quasivariety of groupoids [Formula: see text] satisfying the implication [Formula: see text] generalises rectangular semigroups and central groupoids. We call them rectangular groupoids and find three combinatorial structures based upon arrays, matrices and graphs that are closely related. These generalise several groupoids of independent interest. The quasivariety generates the variety of all groupoids; they satisfy no nontrivial equations. We see some strong connections with isotopy, this being one of the classes of algebras (along with quasigroups) closed under isotopy. We investigate some constructions and show that a regular automorphism exists iff the groupoid is derived from a group via a Cayley graph construction.

Crossed squares, crossed modules over groupoids and cat$^{bf {1-2}}-$groupoids
The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of cat$^{bf {1}}-$groupoids which are the groupoid version of cat$^{bf {1}}-$groups and to prove the categorical equivalence between crossed modules over groupoids and cat$^{bf {1}}-$groupoids. In section 4 we introduce the notions of crossed squares over groupoids and of cat$^{bf {2}}-$groupoids, and then we show their categories are equivalent....
متن کاملA History of Selected Topics in Categorical Algebra I: From Galois Theory to Abstract Commutators and Internal Groupoids
This paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical Galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in Barr exact Mal’tsev and more general categories. Galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...
متن کاملOn Uni-soft (Quasi) Ideals of AG-groupoids
In this paper we introduced the notions of uni-soft AG-groupoids, uni-soft left(right) ideals and uni-soft quasi ideals of AG-groupoids and also investigated related properties of these structures. Some interesting Characterizations of uni-soft AG-groupoids and uni-soft left(right) ideals have been explored. Mathematics Subject Classification: 42B20, 42B25, 46E30
متن کاملOn Prime and Semiprime Ideals in Ordered AG-Groupoids
The aim of this short note is to introduce the concepts of prime and semiprime ideals in ordered AG-groupoids with left identity. These concepts are related to the concepts of quasi-prime and quasi-semiprime ideals, play an important role in studying the structure of ordered AG-groupoids, so it seems to be interesting to study them.
متن کاملActions of vector groupoids
In this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature. After we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space, we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids. We also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids. As the second part of the work, we define the notion...
