Tangent prolongation of $\mathcal{C}^r$-differentiable loops
Abstract:
The aim of our paper is to generalize the tangent prolongation of Lie groups to non-associative multiplications and to examine how the weak associative and weak inverse properties are transferred to the multiplication defined on the tangent bundle. We obtain that the tangent prolongation of a $\mathcal{C}^r$-differentiable loop ($r\geq 1$) is a $\mathcal{C}^{r-1}$-differentiable loop that has the classical weak inverse and weak associative properties of the initial loop.
Keywords: differentiable loops, tangent prolongation of differentiable multiplications, abelian extensions, weak inverse and weak associative properties
