Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals
of a special kind
Eugene Kuznetsov
Communicated by A. I. Kashu
Abstract. In this article we study gyrogroups and left gy-
rogroups as transversals in some suitable groups to its subgroups.
These objects were introduced into consideration in a connection
with an investigation of analogies between symmetries in the clas-
sical mechanics and in the relativistic one. The author introduce
some new notions into consideration (for example, a weak gyro-
transversal) and give a full description of left gyrogroups (and gy-
rogroups) in terms of transversal identities. Also he generalize a
construction of a diagonal transversal and obtain a set of new ex-
amples of left gyrogroups.
1. Introduction
At the first time the concepts of a gyrogroup and a gyrocommutative gy-
rogroup were introduced into consideration in [14] in a connection with
an investigation of analogies between symmetries in the classical mechan-
ics and in the relativistic one. In [14, 15] the elementary properties of
gyrogroups were established and it was shown that they are left special
loops.
In [4] the concept of the gyrogroup was generalized and it was intro-
dused a notion of a left gyrogroup; also in [4, 3, 5, 6] these objects were
considered as transversals (gyrotransversals) in some groups to their sub-
groups.
In the present work the research of above-mentioned concepts is pro-
ceeded. In §1 the necessary definitions are introduced, among which the
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20N05, 20N15.
Key words and phrases: loop, group, transversal, automorphism, gyrogroup.

concepts of a weak gyrotransversal and a middle Bol loop deserves the
special attention. The elementary properties of these objects are proved.
In §2 it is shown that the left gyrogroups is exactly weak gyrotransver-
sals in some groups; and some its properties are established. In §3 and
§4 the transversals in groups are investigated, for which the transversal
operations are gyrogroups and commutative gyrogroups, respectively. In
§5, proceeding from a definition of semidirect product of a left loop and a
suitable group (see [12, 11]), it is shown that weak gyrotransversals (gyro-
transversals) are obtained by the natural way in the semidirect products
of the left gyrogroups (gyrogroups) and the suitable groups. At last, in
§6 the generalization of a construction of the diagonal transversals (see
[4]) is given.
2. Necessary definitions, notations and preliminary state-
ments
Definition 1. [2] A system 〈E, ·〉 is called a left (right) quasigroup
if the equation a · x = b (y · a = b) has an unique solution in the set E
for anyone given a, b ∈ E. The system 〈E, ·〉 is called a quasigroup if it
is both left and right quasigroup simultaneously. A left (right) quasigroup
〈E, ·〉 is called a left (right) loop if there exists the element e ∈ E such
that e · x = x ( x · e = x, respectively). This element e ∈ E is called a
left (right) unit. The system 〈E, ·〉 is called a loop if it is both left and
right loop simultaneously (in this case e · x = x · e = x ∀x ∈ E, and this
element e ∈ E is called a unit of the loop 〈E, ·〉).
Definition 2. [1, 10] Let 〈G, ·, e〉 be a group and 〈H, ·, e〉 be its own
subgroup. A complete set T = {ti}i∈E of representatives of the left (right)
cosets of the group G to its subgroup H (exactly one representative from
each coset) is called a non-reduced left (right) transversal in G to H.
If the non-reduced left (right) transversal T satisfy the condition e = t1 ∈
T , then the set T = {ti}i∈E is called a left (right) transversal in G to
H. The left transversal T in G to H is called a two-sided transversal
in G to H, if it is a right transversal in G to H simultaneously.
For every left transversal T = {ti}i∈E in G to H it is possible to define
correctly a following operation on the set E (a transversal operation):
x
(T )
· y = z
def
⇐⇒ txty = tzh, h ∈ H. (1)
Lemma 1. The following statements are true:

.56 Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals...
1. If T is a non-reduced left (right) transversal in G to H, then the
system 〈E,
(T )
· 〉 is a left (right) quasigroup with the right (left) unit
1;
2. If T is a left (right) transversal in G to H, then the system 〈E,
(T )
· 〉
is a left (right) loop with the unit 1.
Proof. The proof is similar to the proof of Lemma 1 from [10].
Definition 3. A left transversal T in G to H is called a loop transversal
if the transversal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a loop.
Lemma 2. For every left transversal in G to H the following statements
are equivalent:
1. T is a loop transversal in G to H;
2. ∀π ∈ G the set T π = πTπ−1 is a left transversal in G to H;
3. ∀π ∈ G the set T is a left transversal in G to πHπ−1.
Proof. The proof it can see in [1].
For every left transversal T in G to H we shall denote:
lx,y
def
= t−1
x·ytxty ∈ H.
Definition 4. [13] A left multiplication group of a left quasigroup
〈E, ·〉:
LM ( 〈E, ·〉)
def
= 〈La|La (x) = a · x, a ∈ E〉.
A left inner mappings group of a left loop 〈E, ·, 1〉:
LI ( 〈E, ·, 1〉)
def
= {α ∈ LM ( 〈E, ·, 1〉) |α (1) = 1}.
It is known (see [13]) that
LI ( 〈E, ·, 1〉) = 〈lx,y|x, y ∈ E〉.
Definition 5. A left transversal T = {ti}i∈E in G to H is called a
1. weak gyrotransversal, if the following conditions hold:
(a) T is a two-sided transversal in G to H;

(b) LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) ⊆ NG (T ), i.e. ∀h ∈ LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) it is true
that hTh−1 ⊆ T ;
2. gyrotransversal [4, 3], if the following conditions hold:
(a) ∀ti ∈ T it is true that t−1
i ∈ T ;
(b) H ⊆ NG (T ), i.e. ∀h ∈ H it is true that hTh−1 ⊆ T .
Definition 6. [4]A system 〈E, ·〉 is called a left gyrogroup, if the fol-
lowing conditions hold:
1. In the set E there exists an element 1 such that
1 · x = x ∀x ∈ E.
2. ∀x ∈ E there exists an element −1x ∈ E such that
−1x · x = 1.
3. ∀a, b, z ∈ E the following identity holds:
a · (b · z) = (a · b) · αa,b (z) ,
where αa.b ∈ Aut ( 〈E, ·〉) is called a gyroautomorphism.
Remark 1. A left gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a left loop, i.e. the equation
a · x = b has the unique solution in E for every fixed a, b ∈ E. Really, let
a · x = b.
Then for left opposite −1a to a ∈ E we have:
−1a · b = −1a · (a · x) =
(
−1a · a
)
· α−1a,a (x) =
= 1 · α−1a,a (x) = α−1a,a (x) ,
i.e. x = α−1
−1a,a
(
−1a · b
)
.
Definition 7. [14, 4, 3, 15] A left gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 is called a gy-
rogroup, if ∀a, b ∈ E the following condition holds:
αa,b ≡ αa·b,b.
Definition 8. [14, 4, 3, 15] A gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 is called a gyrocom-
mutative gyrogroup, if ∀a, b ∈ E the following condition holds:
a · b = αa,b (b · a) .

.58 Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals...
Below we shall consider a group G as its permutation representation
Ĝ by the left cosets to its subgroup H. If T = {tx}x∈E is a left transversal
in G to H, we define [10]:
ĝ (x) = y
def
⇐⇒ gtxH = tyH. (2)
It is known [8] that if
CoreG(H) = ∩
g∈G
gHg−1 = {e},
then Ĝ ∼= G; below we shall propose that CoreG(H) = {e}.
Lemma 3. Let T = {tx}x∈E is a non-reduced left transversal in G to H
and 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is the transversal operation. Then the following formulas
are true:
1. ∀h ∈ H: ĥ (1) = 1;
2. ∀x, y ∈ E:
t̂x (y) = x
(T )
· y, t̂x (1) = x, t̂−1
x (1) = x
(T )
\ 1,
t̂−1
x (y) = x
(T )
\ y, t̂−1
x (x) = 1.
3. If T = {tx}x∈E is a left transversal in G to H, then also the fol-
lowing identity is fulfilled:
t̂1 (x) = x.
Proof. The proof is similar to the proof of Lemma 4 from [10].
Lemma 4. Let T = {tx}x∈E be a non-reduced left transversal in G to H
and 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 be its transversal operation. Then the following statements
are equivalent:
1. T is a non-reduced two-sided transversal in G to H;
2. The equation x
(T )
· a = 1 has an unique solution in E for every
a ∈ E;
3. A set T−1 =
{
t−1
x
}
x∈E
is a non-reduced two-sided transversal in G
to H.

Proof. 1) ←→ 2). The proof is similar to the proof of Lemma 7 from [10].
1) ←→ 3). Since ∀x ∈ E it is true that
(Htx)−1 = t−1
x H, (txH)−1 = Ht−1
x ,
so if T is a non-reduced left (right) transversal in G to H then T−1 is a
non-reduced right (left) transversal in G to H, and vice versa.
Definition 9. [2] A left (right) quasigroup 〈E, ·〉 is called a special
quasigroup at the left (at the right), if ∀x, y ∈ E
lx,y = L−1
x·yLxLy ∈ Aut ( 〈E, ·〉)
( rx,y = R−1
x·yRyRx ∈ Aut( 〈E, ·〉), respectively).
Definition 10. [2] A left loop 〈E, ·〉 is called a left Bol loop, if the
following identity (left Bol identity) is fulfilled ∀x, y, z ∈ E:
x (y (xz)) = (x (yx)) z.
Lemma 5. A left Bol loop 〈E, ·, 1〉 satisfies the following properties:
1. the left inverse property, i.e. ∀x, y ∈ E: −1x · (x · z) = z, where
−1x · x = 1;
2. −1x = x−1, i.e. the left and the right inverse elements to an element
x ∈ E coincide;
3. the left alternation, i.e. ∀x, y ∈ E: x · (x · y) = (x · x) · y;
4. the solution of the equation a ·x = b is x = a−1 · b, and the solution
the equation y · a = b is y = a−1 ·
(
(a · b) · a−1
)
, i.e. left Bol loop
〈E, ·, 1〉 is a loop.
Proof. The proof it can see in [2], chapter 6.
Definition 11. An operation 〈E, ·〉 is called a middle Bol loop [2], if
the following identity holds:
x · ((yz) \x) = (x/z) · (y\x) ,
where ”\” and ”/” are left and right divisions in 〈E, ·〉, respectively.
Lemma 6. Let 〈E, ·〉 is a middle Bol loop. Then the following statements
are true:
1. 〈E, ·〉 is a loop with some unit 1;

.60 Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals...
2. The left inverse element −1x and the right inverse element x−1 to
an element x ∈ E coincide: −1x = x−1;
3. If 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a left Bol loop and ”/” is the right inverse operation
to the operation ” · ”, then the operation
x ◦ y = x/y−1
is a middle Bol loop 〈E, ◦, 1〉, and everyone middle Bol loop can be
obtained in a similar way from some left Bol loop.
Proof. The proof it can see in [7].
3. Left gyrogroups as weak gyrotransversals
Lemma 7. Let T be a left transversal in G to H. Then the following
statements are equivalent:
1. T is a weak gyrotransversal in G to H;
2. The transversal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left gyrogroup.
Proof. 1) −→ 2). Let T be a left transversal in G to H and T be a weak
gyrotransversal in G to H, i.e. the two following conditions hold:
1. T is a two-sided transversal in G to H;
2. ∀h ∈ LI (〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) it is true that hTh−1 ⊆ T .
Let us show that the conditions 1) - 3) from Definition 6 are fulfilled
for the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉.
The condition 1) is fulfilled automatically for anyone left transversal
in G to H (see Lemma 1).
The condition 2) follows from the Condition 1 and Lemma 4.
Valid Condition 2 ∀x ∈ E and ∀h ∈ LI (〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) it is true that
htxh−1 = tψ(x). (3)
In virtue Lemma 3 we have:
ψ (x) = t̂ψ(x) (1) = ĥt̂xĥ−1 (1) = ĥt̂x (1) = ĥ (x) ,
i.e. the equality (3) may be rewritten as:
htxh−1 = t
ĥ(x). (4)

Let us show that ∀h ∈ LI (〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) a mapping
αh : x → ĥ (x)
is an automorphism of the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉. We have ∀x, y ∈ E:
txty = tx·ylx,y,
where lx,y = t−1
x·ytxty ∈ LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉). Then in virtue of (4) ∀h ∈
LI(〈E,

where h′ ∈ LI (〈E,

ĥ (x)
(T )
· ĥ (y) = ĥ(x
(T )
· y),
i.e. αh is an automorphism of the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉.
At last ∀a, b, z ∈ E we have in virtue of (4):
tatbtz = ta·bla,btz = ta·bla,btzl
−1
a,b la,b =
= ta·btl̂a,b(z)la,b = t(a·b)·l̂a,b(z)la·b,l̂a,b(z)la,b,
and, on the other hand
tatbtz = tatb·zlb,z = ta·(b·z)la,b·zlb,z.
So we obtain
ta·(b·z)la,b·zlb,z = t(a·b)·l̂a,b(z)la·b,l̂a,b(z)la,b.
According to the definition of a left transversal it means that
a

(T )
· l̂a,b (z) ,
where αla,b
= l̂a,b is an automorphism of the operation 〈E,
(T )

was shown above). The condition 3) of Definition 6 is fulfilled.
2) −→ 1). Let T = {tx}x∈E be a left transversal in G to H and the
operation 〈E,

Definition 6 are fulfilled for the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉. Let us show that T
is a weak gyrotransversal.
By virtue of condition 2) and Lemma 4 the transversal T is a two-sided
transversal, i.e. the item 1a) of Definition 5 holds.
By virtue of condition 3) it is true that ∀a, b, z ∈ E:
t̂at̂b (z) = t̂a·b (αa,b (z)) ,
i.e. la,b = αa,b is an automorphism of the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉. Then
LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) ⊆ Aut(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) (5)
Now let h ∈ LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) and we shall consider the expression
(
htkh
−1
)
∀x ∈ E. Since ∀x ∈ E htxh−1 ∈ G then
htxh−1 = tuh1 (6)
for some u ∈ E and h1 ∈ H. Valid Lemma 3 we have:
u = t̂u (1) = t̂uĥ1 (1) = ĥt̂xĥ−1 (1) = ĥt̂x (1) = ĥ (x) .
So (6) may be rewritten as
htxh−1 = t
ĥ(x)h 1. (7)
Further we have ∀x, y ∈ E:
txty = tx·ylx,y,
htxh−1htyh
−1 = htx·yh
−1hlx,yh
−1.
In virtue of (7) we obtain:
t
ĥ(x)h1tĥ(y)h2 = t
ĥ(x·y)h3 · hlx,yh
−1, h1, h2, h3 ∈ H.
Again in virtue Lemma 3 we have
t̂
ĥ(x)ĥ1t̂ĥ(y)ĥ2 (1) = t̂
ĥ(x·y)ĥ3ĥ l̂x·yĥ
−1 (1) ,
ĥ (x)
(T )
· ĥ1
(
ĥ (y)
)
= ĥ(x
(T )
· y). (8)
Since h ∈ LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) then in virtue of (5) we have
ĥ(x
(T )
· y) = ĥ (x)
(T )
· ĥ (y) .

Substituting the last equality in (8), we obtain
ĥ (x)
(T )
· ĥ1
(
ĥ (y)
)
= ĥ (x)
(T )
· ĥ (y) ∀x, y ∈ E.
Since T is a left transversal in G to H then system 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left
quasigroup; therefore we receive
ĥ1
(
ĥ (y)
)
= ĥ (y) ∀y ∈ E.
Since the mapping ĥ (y) is a permutation on the set E then we have:
ĥ1 (z) = z ∀z ∈ E,
i.e. ĥ1 = id and so h1 = e. Then according to (7), we receive that
∀h ∈ LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉) and ∀x ∈ E it is true that
htxh−1 ∈ T,
i.e. the item 1b) of Definition 5 is fulfilled. Then the transversal T is a
weak gyrotransversal.
Corollary 11. If a left transversal T in G to H is a gyrotransversal then
the transversal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left gyrogroup.
Lemma 8. Let T be a weak gyrotransversal in G to H (i.e. the transver-
sal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left gyrogroup). Then the transversal opera-
tion 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 satisfies the following properties:
1. a
(T )
· b = a
(T )
· c ⇔ b = c (left cansellation);
2. The element 1 ∈ E is the unique unit for the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉;
3. ∀a ∈ E there exist an unique left inverse element −1a (−1a
(T )
· a = 1)
and an unique right inverse element −1a (a
(T )
· a−1 = 1).
4. If αa,b is a gyroautomorphism then
αa,b (z) = (a
(T )
· b)\(a
(T )
· (b
(T )
· z)),
α−1
a,b (z) = b\(a\((a
(T )
· b)
(T )
· z)),
and, as a corollary, α0,a = αa,0 = id.

.64 Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals...
5. It is true that ∀x, y ∈ E:
x
(T )
· (x−1(T )
· y) = ϕx (y) ,
−1x
(T )
· (x
(T )
· y) = ψx (y) ,
where ϕx and ψx are some automorphisms of operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉.
Proof. 1) and 2) follow from Lemma 1.
3) follows from Lemma 1 and Lemma 4 (item b)).
4). According to the definition of a left gyrogroup
a · (b · z) = (a · b) · αa,b (z) .
On the other hand, since T is a left transversal then tatb = ta·bla,b, and
so ∀z ∈ E
a · (b · z) = t̂a (b · z) = t̂at̂b (z) = t̂a·b l̂a,b (z) = (a · b) · l̂a,b (z) .
So αa,b = ĥa,b. Then, according Lemma 3
αa,b (z) = l̂a,b (z) = t̂−1
a·b t̂at̂b (z) = (a · b) \ (a · (b · z)) ,
α−1
a,b (z) = l̂−1
a,b (z) = t̂−1
b t̂−1
a t̂a·b (z) = b\ (a\ (a · b) · z) .
5). From the item 4) it follows that
x ·
(
x−1 · y
)
=
(
x · x−1
)
· αx,x−1 (y) = ϕx (y) ,
−1x · (x · y) =
(
−1x · x
)
· α−1x,x (y) = ψx (y) .
Remark 2. In a left gyrogroup the left inverse property may not be
fulfilled. The example it can see in [9], page 317-318.
4. Gyrogroups as loop transversals of a special kind
Lemma 9. Let T = {tx}x∈E be a weak gyrotransversal in G to H. Then
the following statements are equivalent:
1. The transversal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a gyrogroup;
2. ∀x ∈ E: txTtx ⊆ T ;
3. The transversal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left Bol loop.

Proof. 1) −→ 2). Let T = {tx}x∈E be a weak gyrotransversal in G to H
and transversal operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a gyrogroup. Then ∀x, y ∈ E:
αx,y = αx·y,y.
In virtue of Definition 6 and Lemma 3 we have:
t−1
x·ytxty = t−1
(x·y)·ytx·yty,
t−1
x·ytxt−1
x·y = t−1
(x·y)·y,
tx·yt
−1
x tx·y = t(x·y)·y (9)
If y = x−1 then from (9) we obtain that
t−1
x = e · t−1
x · e = tx−1 , (10)
i.e. (9) may be rewritten as
tx·ytx−1tx·y = t(x·y)·y. (11)
Since 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left loop, then the following replacement is correct:
{
x−1 = u
x · y = v
−→ y = x\v = (1/u) \v =
(
u−1
)
\v.
Then (11) may be rewritten as: ∀u, v ∈ E
tvtutv = tv·((−1u)\v),
i.e.
tvTtv ⊆ T ∀v ∈ E.
2) −→ 3). Let T be a left transversal in G to H and ∀x ∈ E
txTtx ⊆ T,
Then ∀x, y ∈ E there exists a permutation αx (y) such that
txtytx = tαx(y). (12)
In virtue Lemma 3 we have
αx (y) = t̂αx(y) (1) = t̂xt̂y t̂x (1) = t̂xt̂y (x) = x · (y · x) .
Then (12) may be rewritten as
txtytx = tx·(y·x).

Again applying Lemma 3, we obtain:
x · (y · (x · z)) = x ·
(
y · t̂x (z)
)
= x · t̂y t̂x (z) =
= t̂xt̂y t̂x (z) = t̂x·(y·x) (z) = (x · (y · x)) · z,
i.e. the left Bol identity is fulfilled for the operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉. Then
〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left Bol loop.
3) −→ 1). Let T be a weak gyrotransversal and 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 be a left
Bol loop. Then 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left gyrogroup and the left Bol identity
holds:
x · (y · (x · z)) = (x · (y · x)) · z.
Then in virtue Lemma 3 we obtain ∀z ∈ E:
t̂xt̂y t̂x (z) = x · t̂y t̂x (z) = x ·
(
y · t̂x (z)
)
=
= x · (y · (x · z)) = (x · (y · x)) · z = t̂x·(y·x) (z)
i.e.
txtytx = tx·(y·x). (13)
Besides for a left Bol loop 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 it is true, that for every element
x ∈ E the left inverse element −1x coincides with the right inverse element
x−1: −1x = x−1. Also we know that a left Bol loop 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a left
IP -loop, i.e.
−1x · (x · y) = x ·
((
−1x
)
· y
)
= y. (14)
Let us do a replacement:
{
y−1 = u
y · x = v
−→ x = y−1 · (y · x) = u · v.
Then (13) may be rewritten as: ∀u, v ∈ E
tu·vtu−1tu·v = t(u·v)·v. (15)
Valid (14) we obtain ∀x, y ∈ E:
y = x ·
(
x−1 · y
)
,
x\y = x−1 · y,
t̂−1
x (y) = t̂x−1 (y) ,

i.e. operation 〈E,

· , 1〉 is a gyrogroup.
Lemma 10. Let T = {tx}x∈E be a left transversal in G to H and
〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 be the transversal operation. Then the following statements
are equivalent:
1. The system 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 is a gyrogroup;
2. T is a two-sided transversal in G to H and two following conditions
hold:
(a) ∀x ∈ E: txTtx ⊆ T ;
(b) ∀h ∈ LI(〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉): hTh−1 ⊆ T .
Proof. The proof is an evident corollary of Lemmas 7 and 9.
Remark 3. Since a left Bol loop is a loop then the transversal T from
Lemmas 9 and 10 is a loop transversal.
Lemma 11. [15] In every gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 the following properties are
fulfilled:
1. ∀a ∈ E there exists the unique element a−1 ∈ E such that a·a−1 =
a−1 · a = 1;
2. αa,a−1 = αa−1,a = αa,a = id;
3. ∀a, b ∈ E:
αa,b (z) = (a · b)−1 · (a · (b · z)) ,
α−1
a,b (z) = b−1 ·

5. α−1
a,b = αa−1,a·b = αb,a·b = αb,a;
6. αa,b = αa·b,a−1 = αa,b·a;
7. (a · b) · c = a · (b · αb,a (c));
8. The solution of the equation x · a = b is: x = b · (αb,a (a))−1 =
b · α−1

(

.
Proof. 1). Since a gyrogroup is a left Bol loop then in virtue Lemma 5,
item 2) it is true that −1x = x−1, so
x · x−1 = x−1 · x = 1.
2). In virtue Lemma 5, items 1) and 2) for a left Bol loop it is true
that
x−1 · (x · z) = x ·
(
x−1 · z
)
= z ∀x, z ∈ E.
Therefore
αa,a−1 (z) =
(
a · a−1
)
\
(
a ·
(
a−1 · z
))
= a ·
(
a−1 · z
)
= z,
i.e. αa,a−1 = id. Similarly, αa−1,a = id. Further we have in virtue Lemma
5, item 3)
αa,a (z) = (a · a) \ (a · (a · z)) == (a · a) \ ((a · a) · z) = z,
i.e. αa,a = id.
3). By the definition 6
a · (b · z) = (a · b) · αa,b (z) ,
so in virtue Lemma 5, item 3) we have
αa,b (z) = (a · b)−1 · (a · (b · z)) . (16)
Making the replacement z = α−1
a,b (u), we obtain from (12):
u = (a · b)−1 · (a · (b · α−1
a,b (u) )), (17)
and again using Lemma 5, item 3) we obtain:
α−1
a,b (u) = b−1 · (a−1·((a · b) · u)).
4). Using item 3) of present Lemma and Lemma 5, item 3) we obtain:
αa,b
(
b−1 · a−1
)
= (a · b)−1 · (a·(b·(b−1 · a−1))) =
= (a · b)−1 ·
(
a · a−1
)
= (a · b)−1 .

5). According to item 3) of present Lemma
α−1
a,b (z) = b−1 · (a−1 · ((a · b) · z)). (18)
Let us do a replacement
{
a−1 = c
a · b = d
−→
{
c = a−1
c · d = a−1 · (a · b) = b
Then (18) may be rewritten as
α−1
a,b (z) = (c · d)−1 · (c·(d · z)) = αc,d (z) = αa−1,a·b (z) ,
i.e. α−1
a,b ≡ αa−1,a·b.
Further in virtue Lemma 9 if a transversal T = {tx}x∈E corresponds
to a gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 = 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉, then it is true that
txtytx = tx·(y·x), ∀x, y ∈ E.
Then we have
tx·(y·x) = txtytx = txty·xαy,x = tx·(y·x)αx,y·xαy,x.
So we obtain
αx,y·xαy,x = id,
i.e.
α−1
a,b = αb,a·b. (19)
At last since by the Definition 6 for every gyrogroup it is true that
αa,b = αa·b,b,
then from (19) we obtain:
α−1
a·b,b = α−1
a,b = αb,a·b. (20)
Making the replacement
{
a · b = c
b = d
we obtain from (20) ∀c, d ∈ E:
α−1
c,d = αd,c.

By virtue of the last equality in the item 5) we have
αb, a·b = αb,a,
i.e.
αa,b = αa,b·a.
7). By virtue of items 3) and 5) of present Lemma and Lemma 5,
item 1) we have:
(a · b) · c = a · (b · α−1
a,b (c) ) = a · (b · αb,a (c)) .
8). According to items 1) and 3) of present Lemma and Lemma 5,
item 4) the solution of the equation x · a = b is
x = a−1 ·
(

then we obtain from (22):

It is very interesting to investigate operations, which are inverse ones
to a gyrogroup operation 〈E, ·, 1〉. The left inverse operation coincides
with operation 〈E, ·, 1〉 (because of the left Bol loop 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a LIP -
loop). Let us study the right inverse operation.
We can define the following operations on a set E (see [15]):
a ⊕ b
def
= a · αa,b−1 (b) , (24)
a ¯ b
def
= a ⊕ b−1.
Lemma 12. Let 〈E, ·, 1〉 be a gyrogroup. Then the following statements
are true:
1. a ¯ b = a/b, a ⊕ b = a/b−1, where “/” is a right division in the
gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉,
a · b = a // b−1, where “//” is a right division in a system 〈E,⊕, 1〉;

2. a ⊕ αa,b (b) = a · b;
3. The system 〈E,⊕, 1〉 is a loop with the unit 1, and ∀x ∈ E the left
and right inverse elements to an element x in 〈E,⊕, 1〉 coincide.
Moreover, both of them are equal to x−1 (where x−1 is an inverse
element to an element x in 〈E, ·, 1〉);
4. (a ⊕ b)−1 = b−1 ⊕ a−1;
5. Aut (〈E,⊕, 1〉) = Aut (〈E, ·, 1〉);
6. The system 〈E,⊕, 1〉 is a middle Bol loop, i.e. the following identity
holds:
x ⊕ ((y ⊕ z) \ \x) = (x //z) ⊕ (y \\x) ,
where “\\” and “//” are left and right division in 〈E,⊕, 1〉, respec-
tively.
Proof. 1). According to (23), (24) and Lemma 11, item 8), we obtain
a ¯ b = a ⊕ b−1 = a · αa,b
(
b−1
)
= a · (αa,b (b))−1 = a/b.
Then
a ⊕ b = a ¯ b−1 = a/b−1.
Further we have
(a · b) ⊕ b−1 = (a · b)/b = a,
i.e.
a · b = a//b−1,
where “//” is a right division in 〈E,⊕, 1〉.
2). From item 1) and (23) it follows that
(a · b) // (αa,b (b)) = (a · b) · (αa,b (b))−1 =
= (a · b) · αa,b
(
b−1

= a ·
(
b · b−1

= a,
i.e.
a ⊕ αa,b (b) = a · b.
3). In virtue of the item 1) the system 〈E,⊕, 1〉 is an inverse operation
to the loop 〈E, ·, 1〉, therefore it is a quasigroup. Further we have ∀x ∈ E:
1 ⊕ x = 1/x−1 = x,
x ⊕ 1 = x/1−1 = x,

4). We have ∀a, b ∈ E:
(a ⊕ b)−1 =

But a = c · b−1 for some c ∈ E, therefore

a ⊕ b = a/b−1, a · b = a//b−1.
Then every automorphism α of the operation 〈E, ·, 1〉 will be an automor-
phism of the inverse operation 〈E, /〉, and so α will be an automorphism
of the operation 〈E,⊕, 1〉; and vice versa.
6). It is an evident corollary of Lemma 6, item 3).
Let us note also the folowing identities
(x//y)−1 = z−1\\x−1, (x\\y)−1 = y−1//x−1.

x · y = (x · y)−1 · (x · (y · (y · x))) ,
(x · y) · (x · y) = x · (y · (y · x)) .
2) −→ 3). Let the following identity holds ∀x, y ∈ E:
(x · y) · (x · y) = x · (y · (y · x)) .
Then in virtue Lemmas 5 and 9 we have ∀x, y ∈ E:
txt2ytx = txty·ytx = tx·((y·y)·x) = tx·(y·(y·x)) = t(x·y)·(x·y)=t2x·y.

Lemma 14. Let T = {tx}x∈E is a left transversal in G to H and

(b) ∀h ∈ LI (〈E,

(c) ∀x ∈ E : txt2ytx = t2x·y.
Proof. The proof is an evident corollary from Lemmas 10 and 13.
Lemma 15. If 〈E,

tion “⊕” (determined in (24)) satisfies the following properties: ∀x, y ∈
E
1. x ⊕ y = y ⊕ x;
2. x//y = y\\x.
Proof. 1). According Lemma 12 we have
x ⊕ y = x/y−1,
so it is necessary to prove that ∀x, y ∈ E
x/y−1 = y/x−1.
But since 〈E,

Lemma 13 we obtain

6. Semidirect products of gyrogroups, left gyrogroups and
suitable groups
Let us remind a definition of a semidirect product of a left loop 〈E, ·, 1〉
and a suitable permutation group H (see [11, 12]).
Definition 12. Let 〈E, ·, 1〉 be a left loop with two-sided unit 1, and H
be a subgroup of the permutation group St1 (SE) such that the following
conditions are fulfilled:
1. ∀a, b ∈ E: la,b = L−1
a·bLaLb ∈ H;
2. ∀a ∈ E and ∀h ∈ H: ϕ (a, h) = L−1
h(a)hLah
−1 ∈ H,
where La (x) = a · x is a left translation by an element a ∈ E. Then
on a set E × H of pairs (u, h) it is possible to define an operation:
(u, h1) ∗ (v, h2)
def
=
(
u · h1 (v) , la,h1(v)ϕ (v, h1)h1h2
)
, (25)
and an action on the set E:
(u, h) (x)
def
= u · h (x) . (26)
It is possible to show (see [11, 12]) that:
1. A system G = 〈E×H, ∗, (1, id)〉 is a group (a semidirect product
of the left loop 〈E, ·, 1〉 and the group H);
2. It is true that (u, h)−1 = (h−1 (u\1) ,(LuhL
h−1(u\1)
)−1);
3. A set T = { (u, id) |u ∈ E} is a left transversal in the group G
to its subgroup H∗ = { (1, h) |h ∈ H} ∼= H, and the transversal
operation 〈E,
(T )
· , 1〉 coincides with the operation 〈E, ·, 1〉.

.76 Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals...
The following special case of the above-described construction will be
important for us: when the left loop 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a left special loop (left
Al-loop), that is
LI (〈E, ·, 1〉) ⊆ H ⊆ Aut (〈E, ·, 1〉) . (27)
The formula (25) of the semidirect product may be rewritten as
(u, h1) ∗ (v, h2)
def
=
(
u · h1 (v) ,la,h1(v)h1h2
)
. (28)
Then all above-mentioned properties are correct and the following formula
holds:
(u, h)−1 =
(
h−1 (u\1) ,(LuLu\1h)−1
)
. (29)
Remark 4. The formula (27) coincides with the formula of a gyrosemidi-
rect product of a left gyrogroup and its gyroautomorphism group (see
[4, 14]).
Lemma 16. Every left gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 may be represented as a weak
gyrotransversal in the group 〈E × H, ∗, (1, id)〉 to a subgroup H, if H
satisfies the conditions of the Definition 12.
Proof. The proof obviously follows from Lemma 7 and above-mentioned
properties of the semidirect product.
Corollary 12. Every left gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 may be represented as a weak
gyrotransversal in the group 〈E × H, ∗, (1, id)〉 to a subgroup H0, which
satisfies the condition (27) (and semidirect product is defined under the
formula (28)).
Lemma 17. Every gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 may be represented as a gyro-
transversal in the group G = 〈E × H, ∗, (1, id)〉 to its gyroautomorphism
group H0 (i.e. H0 satisfies the condition (27)).
Proof. (See also [4]) According the Corollary 12 a set T = { (a, id) |a ∈ E}
is a weak gyrotransversal in G to H0. Since 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a gyrogroup then
in virtue Lemma 9 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a left Bol loop; therefore it satisfies the left
inverse property, i.e. ∀u ∈ E
LuLu\1 = id. (30)
Then in virtue of (29)
(u, id)−1 = (u\1, id) =
(
u−1, id
)
,

i.e. T−1 = T.
Further ∀u ∈ E and ∀h ∈ H0 in virtue of the formula (28)
(1, h) ∗ (u, id) ∗
(
1, h−1
)
= (1, h) ∗
(
u, lu,1h
−1
)
=
= (1, h) ∗
(
u, h−1
)
=
(
h (u) , l1,h(u)hh−1
)
= (h (u) , id) ,
i.e. ∀u ∈ E and ∀h ∈ H0
(1, h) ∗ T ∗ (1, h)−1 = T.
It means that T is a gyrotransversal in G to H0.
Remark 5. A left gyrogroup may not be represented as a gyrotransversal
in the group G = 〈E×H, ∗, (1, id)〉 to its gyroautomorphism group (since
in a left gyrogroup, not being a gyrogroup, it is not necessarily satisfied
the condition (30)).
Lemma 18. A left gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 may be represented as a gyro-
transversal in the group G = 〈E × H, ∗, (1, id)〉 to a group H0, which
satisfies the condition (27) ⇔ 〈E, ·, 1〉 is a LIP -loop.
Proof. The proof is evident, because a left gyrogroup 〈E, ·, 1〉 is always a
weak gyrotransversal in the group G = 〈E×H, ∗, (1, id)〉 to the subgroup
H0 (see a Corollary 12), and the condition (30) is equivalent to a definition
of LIP -loop.
7. Generalized diagonal transversals
Definition 13. Let K be a group, G be a semidirect product
G = K h Inn (K) ,
where
Inn (K) =
{
αn|αn (x) = kxk−1, k, x ∈ K
}
is a group of internal automorphisms of the group K. Then a generalized
diagonal transversal Dm of degree m is a set
Dm = {(k, αm
k ) |k ∈ K}. (31)
We shall denote
Dm (K) = (k, αm
k ) . (32)
A diagonal transversals, which were investigated in [4, 5, 6, 3], are
obtained in a case when m = 1.

.78 Gyrogroups and left gyrogroups as transversals...
Lemma 19. The generalized diagonal transversal Dm of degree m is a
gyrotransversal in G to H = Inn(K).
Proof. For every element (k, αh) ∈ G (where k, h ∈ K) we have:
(k, αh) = (k, αm
k ) · (1, αk−mh) ,
and this decomposition is an unique one. It means that the set Dm is a
left transversal in G to H.
Further we have:
(Dm (k))−1 = (k, αm
k )−1 =
(
α−m
k
(
k−1
)
, α−m
k
)
= Dm
(
k−1
)
,
i.e. (Dm)−1 ≡ Dm.
Also we obtain:
(1, αh)Dm (k) (1, αh)−1 = (1, αh) (k, αm
k ) (1, αh−1) =
= (1, αh) (k, αkmh−1) = (αh (k) ,αhkmh−1) =
=
(
αh (k) ,ααh(km)
)
=
(
αh (k) ,α(αh(k))m
)
=
= (αh (k) ,αm
αh(k)) = Dm (αh (k)) .
According to Definition 5, item 2) the set Dm is a gyrotransversal.
Let us study the transversal operation 〈E,
(Dm)

Dm (k1)Dm (k2) = (k1, α

Lemma 20. A left gyrogroup 〈E,
(Dm)
· , 1〉 is a group ⇔ the following
identity
(ab)m = bmam ∀a, b ∈ K/Z (K) . (35)
is fulfilled in a factor-group K/Z (K).
Proof. According to the formula (34), the left gyrogroup 〈E,
(Dm)
· , 1〉 is a
group if and only if when
αkm

It is equivalent to a fact that ∀a, b ∈ K/Z (K) it is true that
am (ab)−m bm = 1,

ing identity

∀a, b ∈ K/Z (K) (36)
is fulfilled in the factor-group K/Z(K).
Proof. According to the formula (36), the left gyrogroup 〈E,
