Abstract

Let Σ be a finite set of cardinality k > 0, let \(\mathbb{A}\) be a finite or infinite set of indices, and let \(\mathcal{F} \subseteq \Sigma ^\mathbb{A}\) be a subset consisting of finitely supported families. A function \(f:\Sigma ^\mathbb{A} \to \Sigma\) is referred to as an \(\mathbb{A}\)-quasigroup (if \(\left| \mathbb{A} \right| = n\), then an n-ary quasigroup) of order k if \(f\left( {\bar y} \right) \ne f\left( {\bar z} \right)\) for any ordered families \(\bar y\) and \(\bar z\) that differ at exactly one position. It is proved that an \(\mathbb{A}\)-quasigroup f of order 4 is reducible (representable as a superposition) or semilinear on every coset of \(\mathcal{F}\). It is shown that the quasigroups defined on Σ, where ℕ are positive integers, generate Lebesgue nonmeasurable subsets of the interval [0, 1].
