Power-associative, Conjugacy Closed Loops
نویسنده
چکیده
We study conjugacy closed loops (CC-loops) and power-associative CC-loops (PACC-loops). If Q is a PACC-loop with nucleus N , then Q/N is an abelian group of exponent 12; if in addition Q is finite, then |Q| is divisible by 16 or by 27. There are eight nonassociative PACC-loops of order 16, three of which are not extra loops. There are eight nonassociative PACC-loops of order 27, four of which have the automorphic inverse property. We also study some special elements in loops, such as Moufang elements, weak inverse property (WIP) elements, and extra elements. In a CC-loop, the set of WIP and the set of extra elements are normal subloops. For each c in a PACCloop, c is WIP, c is extra, and c ∈ N .

Diassociativity in Conjugacy Closed Loops
Let Q be a conjugacy closed loop, and N(Q) its nucleus. Then Z(N(Q)) contains all associators of elements of Q. If in addition Q is diassociative (i.e., an extra loop), then all these associators have order 2. If Q is power-associative and |Q| is finite and relatively prime to 6, then Q is a group. If Q is a finite non-associative extra loop, then 16 | |Q|.
متن کاملStructural Interactions of Conjugacy Closed Loops
We study conjugacy closed loops by means of their multiplication groups. Let Q be a conjugacy closed loop, N its nucleus, A the associator subloop, and L and R the left and right multiplication groups, respectively. Put M = {a ∈ Q; La ∈ R}. We prove that the cosets of A agree with orbits of [L,R], that Q/M ∼= (InnQ)/L1 and that one can define an abelian group on Q/N × Mlt1. We also explain why ...
متن کاملThe Structure of Conjugacy Closed Loops
We study structure theorems for the conjugacy closed (CC-) loops, a specific variety of G-loops (loops isomorphic to all their loop isotopes). These theorems give a description all such loops of small order. For example, if p and q are primes, p < q, and q − 1 is not divisible by p, then the only CC-loop of order pq is the cyclic group of order pq. For any prime q > 2, there is exactly one non-...
متن کاملOn Left Conjugacy Closed Loops with a Nucleus of Index Two
A loop Q is said to be left conjugacy closed (LCC) if the left translations form a set of permutations that is closed under conjugation. Loops in which the left and right nuclei coincide and are of index 2 are necesarilly LCC, and they are constructed in the paper explicitly. LCC loops Q with the right nucleus G of index 2 offer a larger diversity. A sample of results: if Z(G) = 1, then Q is al...
متن کاملCode Loops in Both Parities
We present equivalent definitions of code loops in any characteristic p 6= 0. The most natural definition is via combinatorial polarization, but we also show how to realize code loops by linear codes and as a class of symplectic conjugacy closed loops. For p odd, it is possible to define code loops via characteristic trilinear forms. Related concepts are discussed.
