Triple Product Property

In abstract algebra, the triple product property is an identity satisfied in some groups.

Let be a non-trivial group. Three nonempty subsets are said to have the triple product property in if for all elements, it is the case that

$s's^{-1}t't^{-1}u'u^{-1} = 1 \Rightarrow s' = s, t' = t, u' = u$

where is the identity of .

It plays a role in research of fast matrix multiplication algorithms.
