Formal ternary laws and Buchstaber's 2-groups

arXiv:2112.03646

Abstract

We develop the algebraic formalism of the formal ternary laws of C. Walter and we compare them to Buchstaber's 2-valued formal group laws. We also compute the "elementary" formal ternary laws (after inverting 2) using a computer program available online.
