Let $B_{\infty}$ denote the infinite strand braid group. Let $\mathrm{sh}:B_{\infty}\rightarrow B_{\infty}$ be the group homomorphism where $\mathrm{sh}(\sigma_{i})=\sigma_{i+1}$ for all $i>0$. ...

Let $B_{\infty}$ denote the infinite strand braid group. Let $\mathrm{sh}:B_{\infty}\rightarrow B_{\infty}$ be the mapping where $\mathrm{sh}(\sigma_{i})=\sigma_{i+1}$ whenever $i\geq 1$. Then $B_{\...

Define the Fibonacci terms $t_{n}(x,y)$ for all $n\geq 1$ by letting $t_{1}(x,y)=y,t_{2}(x,y)=x,t_{n+2}(x,y)=t_{n+1}(x,y)*t_{n}(x,y)$. We say that an algebra $(X,*)$ is $N$-uniformly partially ...

(This is a follow-up question; the original question was about shelves.) A rack $(R, \rhd, \lhd)$ is a set $R$ with two binary operations $\rhd$ and $\lhd$ such that for all $x, y, z \in R$: $x \rhd ...

A left shelf $(S, \rhd)$ is a magma with the left self-distributive law: $$ \forall x, y, z \in S: x \rhd (y \rhd z) = (x \rhd y) \rhd (x \rhd z). $$ Shelves are generalization of racks and quandles ...
