A new model of the free monogenic digroup

Abstract

It is well-known that one of open problems in the theory of Leibniz algebras is to find asuitable generalization of Lie’s third theorem which associates a (local) Lie group to any Liealgebra, real or complex. It turns out, this is related to finding an appropriate analogue of a Liegroup for Leibniz algebras. Using the notion of a digroup, Kinyon obtained a partial solution ofthis problem, namely, an analogue of Lie’s third theorem for the class of so-called split Leibnizalgebras. A digroup is a nonempty set equipped with two binary associative operations, aunary operation and a nullary operation satisfying additional axioms relating these operations.Digroups generalize groups and have close relationships with the dimonoids and dialgebras,the trioids and trialgebras, and other structures. Recently, G. Zhang and Y. Chen applied themethod of Grobner–Shirshov bases for dialgebras to construct the free digroup of an arbitraryrank, in particular, they considered a monogenic case separately. In this paper, we give a simplerand more convenient digroup model of the free monogenic digroup. We construct a new classof digroups which are based on commutative groups and show how the free monogenic groupcan be obtained from the free monogenic digroup by a suitable factorization.
