Special subgroups of gyrogroups: Commutators, nuclei and radical

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

A gyrogroup is a nonassociative group-like structure modelled on the space of relativistically admissible velocities with a binary operation given by Einstein's velocity addition law. In this article, we present a few of groups sitting inside a gyrogroup GG, including the commutator subgyrogroup, the left nucleus, and the radical of GG. The normal closure of the commutator subgyrogroup, the left nucleus, and the radical of GG are in particular normal subgroups of GG. We then give a criterion to determine when a subgyrogroup HH of a finite gyrogroup GG, where the index [G ⁣:H][G\colon H] is the smallest prime dividing ∣G∣|G|, is normal in GG.
