\abbreviation{BGrp}
\begin{definition}
A \emph{Boolean group} is a \href{Monoids.pdf}{monoid} $\mathbf{M}=\langle M, \cdot, e\rangle$ such that

every element has order $2$:  $x\cdot x=e$.
\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{M}$ and $\mathbf{N}$ be Boolean groups. A morphism from $\mathbf{M}$
to $\mathbf{N}$ is a function $h:M\rightarrow N$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y)$, $h(e)=e$
\end{morphisms}

\begin{basic_results}
\end{basic_results}

\begin{examples}
\begin{example}
$\langle \{0,1\},+ ,0\rangle$, the two-element group with addition-mod-2.
This algebra generates the variety of Boolean groups.
\end{example}
\end{examples}
