group with multiple operators, -group

A universal algebra which is a group relative to the addition operation (which need not be commutative) and in which there is given a system of operations of arity . It is assumed that the zero element of the additive group is a subalgebra, that is, for all . Thus, a multi-operator group combines the concepts of a group, a linear algebra and a ring. An ideal of an -group is a normal subgroup of such that

for all , , , . Congruences on a multi-operator group are described by coset classes relative to ideals.

Let , and be -subgroups in an -group (that is, subalgebras of the universal algebra ), where is generated by and . The mutual commutator of the subgroups and is the ideal in generated by all elements of the form

where , , . Let . A multi-operator group is called Abelian if . Inductively one defines ideals , where , and , where . A multi-operator group is called nilpotent if , and solvable if for some . Many of the properties of the corresponding classes of groups and rings can be transferred to these classes of multi-operator groups. A multi-operator group is called a multi-operator (linear) -algebra over a commutative associative ring with an identity if the addition in is commutative, if , where is the set of unary operations from , and if all operations from are semi-linear over (see [2][6], and Semi-linear mapping).
