Abstract:
In the theory of polyadic groups plays an important role groups
$A^*$ and
$A_0$,
appearing in Post's Coset Theorem [2],
asserts that for every
$n$-ary groups
$\langle
A, [~] \rangle$ exists a group of
$A^*$, in which there is
normal subgroup
$A_0$ such that the factor group
$A^* / A_0$ —
cyclic group of order
$n-1$. Generator
$xA_0$
this cyclic group is the
$n$-ary group with
$n$-ary
operation derived from operation in the group
$A^*$, wherein
$n$-ary groups
$\langle A, [~] \rangle$ and
$\langle
xA_0, [~] \rangle$ isomorphic. Group
$A^*$ is called the Post's universal
covering group, and the group
$A_0$ — appropriate
group.
The article begins with a generalization of the Post's Coset Theorem:
for every
$n$-ary groups
$\langle A, [~] \rangle$,
$n = k(m-1)+1$, the Post's universal
covering group
$A^*$
has a normal subgroup
$^m \!A$ such that the factor group
$A^* / ^m \!A$ — cyclic group of order
$m-1$. Moreover,
$A_0 \subseteq ~^m \!A \subseteq A^*$ and
$^m \!A / A_0$ - cyclic
group of order
$k$.
In this paper we study the permutability of elements in
$n$-ary group.
In particular, we study the
$m$-semi-commutativity in
$n$-ary groups,
which is a generalization of of the well-known concepts of commutativity
and semi-commutativity.
Recall that the
$n$-ary group
$\langle
A, [~] \rangle$ is called abelian if it contains any
substitution
$\sigma$ of the set
$\{1,2, \ldots, n \}$ true identity
$$ [a_1a_2 \ldots a_n] =
[a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \ldots a_{\sigma (n)}], $$
and
$n$-ary
group
$\langle A, [~] \rangle$ is called a semi-abelian if it
true identity
$$ [aa_1 \ldots a_{n-2} b] = [ba_1 \ldots a_{n-2} a]. $$
Summarizing these two definitions, E. Post called
$n$-ary group
$\langle A, [~] \rangle$ $m$-semi-abelian if
$m-1$ divides
$n-1$ and
$$ (aa_1 \ldots a_{m-2} b, ba_1 \ldots a_{m-2} a) \in \theta_A $$
for
any
$a, a_1, \ldots, a_{m-2}, b \in A$.
We have established a new criterion of
$m$-semi-commutativity of
$n$-ary group,
formulated by a subgroup
$^m \!A$ of
the Post's universal covering group:
$n$-ary group
$\langle A, [~] \rangle$
is
$m$-semi-abelian if and only if the group
$^m \! A$ is abelian.
For
$n = k(m-1)+1$ by fixed elements
$c_1, \ldots, c_{m-2} \in A$ on
$n$-ary group of
$\langle
A, [~] \rangle$ construct
$(k+1)$-ary group $\langle
A, [~]_{k+1, c_1 \ldots c_{m- 2}} \rangle$. On the coset
$A^{(m-1)}$ in generalized Post's Coset Theorem construct
$(k+1)$-ary
group
$\langle A^{(m-1)}, [~]_{k+1} \rangle$. Proved
isomorphism of constructed
$(k+1)$-ary groups. This isomorphism
allows us to prove another criterion
$m$-semi-commutativity
$n$-ary
group:
$n$-ary group
$\langle A, [~] \rangle$ is
$m$-semi-abelian
if and only if for some
$c_1, \ldots, c_{m-2} \in
A$ $(k+1)$-ary group $\langle A, [~]_{k+1, c_1 \ldots
c_{m-2}} \rangle$ is abelian.
