Quasigroups
Abbreviation: Qgrp
Definition
A \emph{quasigroup} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot ,\backslash,/\rangle$ of type $\langle 2,2,2\rangle $ such that
$(y/x)x = y$, $x(x\backslash y) = y$
$(xy)/y = x$, $x\backslash(xy) = y$
Remark:
Morphisms
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be quasigroups. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism:
$h(xy)=h(x)h(y)$, $h(x\backslash y)=h(x)\backslash h(y)$, $h(x/y)=h(x)/h(y)$.
