Abstract:
We study the n-quasigroups (n⩾3) with the following property weak invertibility.
If on any two sets of n arguments with the equal initials, equal ends, but with different middle parts (of the same length), the result of the operation is the same, then for any identical beginnings (of a other length), with the previous middle parts and for any identical ends (the corresponding length), the result of the operation will be the same.
For such n-quasigroups
An analog of the Post-Gluskin-Hoss theorem is proved, which reduces the operation of an n-quasigroup to a group one.
The representation of the n-quasigroup operation proved by the theorem with the help of the automorphism of the group turned out to occur in weaker (and quite natural) assumptions, rather than the associativity and (i,j)-associativity required earlier.
Well-known (i,j)-associative n-quasigroups satisfy the condition of weak invertibility.
Keywords:n-quasigroup, (i,j)-associativity, group automorphism, Post–Gluskin–Hoss theorem.
