An important example of a loop group is the group of based loops on G.It is defined to be the kernel of the evaluation map :, (), and hence is a closed normal subgroup of LG.
Construct a conjugacy closed loop whose left multiplication group is not isomorphic to its right multiplication group. Proposed: by Aleš Drápal at Loops '03, Prague 2003; Solved by: Aleš Drápal; Solution: There is such a loop of order 9. In can be obtained in the LOOPS package by the command CCLoop(9,1)
If a loop is isotopic to a group, then it is isomorphic to that group and thus is itself a group. However, a quasigroup that is isotopic to a group need not be a group. For example, the quasigroup on R with multiplication given by ( x , y ) ↦ ( x + y )/2 is isotopic to the additive group ( R , +) , but is not itself a group as it has no ...
For example, the torus is different from the sphere: the torus has a "hole"; the sphere doesn't. However, since continuity (the basic notion of topology) only deals with the local structure, it can be difficult to formally define the obvious global difference. The homotopy groups, however, carry information about the global structure.
For example, the e-ba-ab loop reflects the fact that ba 2 = ab and ba 3 = e, as well as the fact that ab 2 = ba and ab 3 = e. The other "loops" are roots of unity so that, for example a 2 = e . Main article: Dihedral group of order 6
For example, the knot group of the trefoil knot is known to be the braid group, which gives another example of a non-abelian fundamental group. The Wirtinger presentation explicitly describes knot groups in terms of generators and relations based on a diagram of the knot.
To be precise, the loop braid group on n loops is defined as the motion group of n disjoint circles embedded in a compact three-dimensional "box" diffeomorphic to the three-dimensional disk. A motion is a loop in the configuration space, which consists of all possible ways of embedding n circles into the 3-disk. This becomes a group in the same ...
A groupoid is a small category in which every morphism is an isomorphism, i.e., invertible. [1] More explicitly, a groupoid is a set of objects with . for each pair of objects x and y, a (possibly empty) set G(x,y) of morphisms (or arrows) from x to y; we write f : x → y to indicate that f is an element of G(x,y);
