division in group


In any group (G,) one can introduce a division operationMathworldPlanetmath ‘‘:’’ by setting

x:y=xy-1

for all elements x, y of G.  On the contrary, the group operationMathworldPlanetmath and the unary inverseMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath forming operation may be expressed via the division by

xy=x:((y:y):y),x-1=(x:x):x.(1)

The division, which of course is not associative, has the properties

  1. 1.

    (x:z):(y:z)=x:y,

  2. 2.

    x:(y:y)=x,

  3. 3.

    (x:x):(y:z)=z:y.

The above result may be conversed:

Theorem.

If the operation ‘‘:’’ of the non-empty groupoidPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath G has the properties 1, 2, and 3, then G equipped with the ‘‘multiplicationPlanetmathPlanetmath’’ and inverse forming by (1) is a group.

Proof.  Here we prove only the associativity of ‘‘’’.  First we derive some auxiliary results.  Using definitions and the properties 1 and 2 we obtain

(x:y):y-1=(x:y):((y:y):y)=x:(y:y)=x,
(x:y-1):y=(x:y-1):((y:y):y-1)=x:(y:y)=x

and using the property 3,

(x:y)-1=((x:y):(x:y)):(x:y)=y:x.

Then we get:

(xy)z=(x:y-1):z-1=((x:y-1):y):(z-1:y)=x:(z-1:y)=x:(y:z-1)-1=x(yz)
