On Schreier graphs of gyrogroup actions

Abstract

The notion of a group action can be extended to the case of gyrogroups . In this article, we examine a digraph and graph associated with a gyrogroup action on a finite nonempty set , called a Schreier digraph and graph. We show that algebraic properties of gyrogroups and gyrogroup actions such as being gyrocommutative, being transitive, and being fixed-point-free are reflected in their Schreier digraphs and graphs. We also prove graph-theoretic versions of the three fundamental theorems involving actions: the Cauchy–Frobenius lemma (also known as the Burnside lemma), the orbit-stabilizer theorem, and the orbit decomposition theorem . Finally, we make a connection between gyrogroup actions and actions of symmetric groups by evaluation via Schreier digraphs and graphs.
