Triple product property
From HandWiki
In abstract algebra, the triple product property is an identity satisfied in some groups. Let [math]\displaystyle{ G }[/math] be a non-trivial group. Three nonempty subsets [math]\displaystyle{ S, T, U \subset G }[/math] are said to have the triple product property in [math]\displaystyle{ G }[/math] if for all elements [math]\displaystyle{ s, s' \in S }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ t, t' \in T }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ u, u' \in U }[/math] it is the case that
- [math]\displaystyle{ s's^{-1}t't^{-1}u'u^{-1} = 1 \Rightarrow s' = s, t' = t, u' = u }[/math]
where [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] is the identity of [math]\displaystyle{ G }[/math].
It plays a role in research of fast matrix multiplication algorithms.
