Abbreviation: BGrp

Definition

A Boolean group is a monoid M = (M, ·, e) such that every element has order 2:   x·x = e.

Morphisms

Let M and N be Boolean groups. A morphism from M to N is a function h : MN that is a homomorphism: h(x·y) = h(xh(y)  and  h(e) = e.

Some results

Examples

({0,1}, + ,0), the two-element group with addition-mod-2. This algebra generates the variety of Boolean groups.
