Graph algebras were introduced by Shallon in 1979 and provide a useful representation of directed graphs as algebras with a binary operation that is not necessarily associative. A quasigroup is a groupoid satisfying the condition that for all elements \\(a\\) and \\(b\\), there exist unique elements \\(x\\) and \\(y\\) such that \\(xa = b\\) and \\(ay = b\\). This is a generalization of groups; associativity and an identity element are not required.<\/p>\n<p>This talk is based on joint work with Tam\u00e1s Waldhauser (University of Szeged).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"ann-footer\">\n <span>Mathematics Research Center \u00b7 ASOIU, Baku<\/span>\n <a href=\"\/seminars\/\">All seminars \u2192<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar Announcement \u2014 Mathematics Research Center General Seminar The associative spectrum of a binary operation Erkko Lehtonen Khalifa University, UAE Date December 18, 2025 Time 14:00 Location MRC @ UFAZ 101 Abstract Associativity is a well-known property of some binary operations (or the corresponding groupoids).
