<h3>35 <span class="Heading">Magmas</span></h3>
<p>This chapter deals with domains (see <a href="chap31.html#X7E651AC287AFDCC1"><span class="RefLink">31</span></a>) that are closed under multiplication <code class="code">*</code>. Following <a href="chapBib.html#biBBourbaki70">[Bou70]</a>, we call them <em>magmas</em> in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>. Together with the domains closed under addition <code class="code">+</code> (see <a href="chap55.html#X7D0D096B81365B02"><span class="RefLink">55</span></a>), they are the basic algebraic structures; every semigroup, monoid (see <a href="chap51.html#X8665D8737FDD5B10"><span class="RefLink">51</span></a>), group (see <a href="chap39.html#X8716635F7951801B"><span class="RefLink">39</span></a>), ring (see <a href="chap56.html#X81897F6082CACB59"><span class="RefLink">56</span></a>), or field (see <a href="chap58.html#X80A8E676814A19FD"><span class="RefLink">58</span></a>) is a magma. In the cases of a <em>magma-with-one</em> or <em>magma-with-inverses</em>, additional multiplicative structure is present, see <a href="chap35.html#X7E1248B186E7BB44"><span class="RefLink">35.1</span></a>. For functions to create free magmas, see <a href="chap36.html#X7F51B17983019D3E"><span class="RefLink">36.4</span></a>.</p>

<p>A <em>magma</em> in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> is a domain <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> with (not necessarily associative) multiplication <code class="code">*</code><span class="SimpleMath">: M × M → M</span>.</p>
<p><a id="X86071DE7835F1C7C" name="X86071DE7835F1C7C"></a></p>

<div class="func"><table class="func" width="100%"><tr><td class="tdleft"><code class="func">‣ IsMagmaWithOne</code>( <var class="Arg">obj</var> )</td><td class="tdright">( category )</td></tr></table></div>
<p>A <em>magma-with-one</em> in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> is a magma <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> with an operation <code class="code">^0</code> (or <code class="func">One</code> (<a href="chap31.html#X8046262384895B2A"><span class="RefLink">31.10-2</span></a>)) that yields the identity of <span class="SimpleMath">M</span>.</p>
<p>So a magma-with-one <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> does always contain a unique multiplicatively neutral element <span class="SimpleMath">e</span>, i.e., <span class="SimpleMath">e</span><code class="code"> * </code><span class="SimpleMath">m = m = m</span><code class="code"> * </code><span class="SimpleMath">e</span> holds for all <span class="SimpleMath">m ∈ M</span> (see <code class="func">MultiplicativeNeutralElement</code> (<a href="chap35.html#X7EE2EA5F7EB7FEC2"><span class="RefLink">35.4-10</span></a>)). This element <span class="SimpleMath">e</span> can be computed with the operation <code class="func">One</code> (<a href="chap31.html#X8046262384895B2A"><span class="RefLink">31.10-2</span></a>) as <code class="code">One( </code><span class="SimpleMath">M</span><code class="code"> )</code>, and <span class="SimpleMath">e</span> is also equal to <code class="code">One( </code><span class="SimpleMath">m</span><code class="code"> )</code> and to <span class="SimpleMath">m</span><code class="code">^0</code> for each element <span class="SimpleMath">m ∈ M</span>.</p>
<p><em>Note</em> that a magma may contain a multiplicatively neutral element but <em>not</em> an identity (see <code class="func">One</code> (<a href="chap31.html#X8046262384895B2A"><span class="RefLink">31.10-2</span></a>)), and a magma containing an identity may <em>not</em> lie in the category <code class="func">IsMagmaWithOne</code> (see Section <a href="chap31.html#X7D72F11B82F4A036"><span class="RefLink">31.6</span></a>).</p>

<p>A <em>magma-with-inverses</em> in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> is a magma-with-one <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> with an operation <code class="code">^-1</code><span class="SimpleMath">: M → M</span> that maps each element <span class="SimpleMath">m</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> to its inverse <span class="SimpleMath">m</span><code class="code">^-1</code> (or <code class="code">Inverse( </code><span class="SimpleMath">m</span><code class="code"> )</code>, see <code class="func">Inverse</code> (<a href="chap31.html#X78EE524E83624057"><span class="RefLink">31.10-8</span></a>)).</p>
<p>Note that not every trivial magma is a magma-with-one, but every trivial magma-with-one is a magma-with-inverses. This holds also if the identity of the magma-with-one is a zero element. So a magma-with-inverses-if-nonzero can be a magma-with-inverses if either it contains no zero element or consists of a zero element that has itself as zero-th power.</p>
