Non-closure conjecture for invertible elements in Bol magmas
Non-closure conjecture for invertible elements in Bol magmas
Let be a Bol magma with a neutral element, and let denote the set of elements of possessing a two-sided inverse. Non-closure conjecture. There exists a Bol magma with a neutral element such that is not closed under multiplication. This would show that the preceding loop-closure results for special classes of Bol magmas do not hold for arbitrary Bol magmas; the source provides no resolution.
