The general set in the MCIM Isotopic Model
R. M. Falcón and J. Núñez
Abstract. To obtain a bigger number of mathematical and physical applications of
the Santilli’s isotheory, the latest studies have shown the necessity of analyzing isotopic
models which use non associative laws. The main goal of this paper is to give a gener-
alization of the isotopic construction model based on the multiplication (MCIM), which
is useful to obtain non associative mathematical isostructures.
Keywords: Santilli’s Isotheory, isotopic model, isostructure.

Introduction
In 1978, R. M. Santilli proposed a generalization of the conventional Lie’s theory
by using isotopies. The isotopies of Lie’s theory were constructed to lift the
theory from its current sole applicability to linear systems to nonlinear systems,
lifting achieved via the reconstruction of linearity on isospaces over isofields.
It was the first stage of what is actually known as Santilli’s Isotheory [1]. He
considered that the basic unit I of each mathematical structure can depend on
several factors external to the system in which we are placed, like coordinates,
speed, time, density, temperature, and so on. It involves an isounit of the type
I =
I (x ,v, t , μ, τ, ...). By using this principle, Santilli carried out a step by
step construction which generalizes the most common mathematical structures,
originating those denominated mathematical isostructures [2], [3]. It allowed
him to progress in the development of some physical applications, mainly in
Quantum Mechanics and Dynamics of Particles [4].
In 2001, the isotopic construction model based on the multiplication (from now
on, it will be denoted by MCIM) was introduced by ourselves (see [5]) in the same
way as the one proposed by Santilli, although by putting a special emphasis in
the use of *-laws. Later, it was improved in [6] and [7]. Nevertheless, to enlarge
the number of mathematical isostructures and to get new practical applications, it
is necessary to weaken the associativity hypothesis, obtaining in this way more
