Comparison with isotopy of loops

[edit]

The sentence "This is similar to the definition of an isotopy of loops" isn't quite correct. The latter article defines loop isotopy as an equivalence relation, arising from a particular case of quasigroup homotopy, namely isotopy. Of course an isotopy of algebras gives rise to an equivalence relation, but that is not stated explicitly in this article. Deltahedron (talk) 21:06, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Autopy or autotopy

[edit]

"Autotopy" seems to be the common spelling. It's certainly the one used by MacCrimmon (p.347). Deltahedron (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
