Quasitrivial groupoids

Abbreviation: QtGrpd

Definition

A \emph{quasitrivial groupoid} is a groupoid $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot\rangle$ such that

$\cdot$ is \emph{quasitrivial}: $x\cdot y=x\text{ or }x\cdot y=y$

Remark: This is a template. If you know something about this class, click on the 'Edit text of this page' link at the bottom and fill out this page.

It is not unusual to give several (equivalent) definitions. Ideally, one of the definitions would give an irredundant axiomatization that does not refer to other classes.

Morphisms

Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be quasitrivial groupoids. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: $h(x \cdot y)=h(x) \cdot h(y)$

Definition

An \emph{…} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\ldots\rangle$ of type $\langle …\rangle$ such that

$\ldots$ is …: $axiom$

$\ldots$ is …: $axiom$

Basic results

Quasitrivial groupoids are in 1-1 correspondence with reflexive relations. E.g. a translations is given by $x\cdot y=x$ iff $\langle x,y\rangle\in E$.
