Generators of Nonassociative Simple Moufang Loops over Finite Prime Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first class of nonassociative simple Moufang loops was discovered by L. Paige in 1956 [9], who investigated Zorn’s and Albert’s construction of simple alternative rings. M. Liebeck proved in 1987 [7] that there are no other finite nonassociative simple Moufang loops. We can briefly describe the class as follows: For every finite field F, there is exactly one simple Moufang loop. Recall Zorn’s multiplication ( a α β b )( c γ δ d ) = ( ac + α · δ aγ + αd− β × δ βc + bδ + α× γ β · γ + bd ) ,

Generators for Finite Simple Moufang Loops
Moufang loops are one of the best-known generalizations of groups. There is only one countable family of nonassociative finite simple Moufang loops, arising from the split octonion algebras. We prove that every member of this family is generated by three elements, using the classical results on generators of unimodular groups.
متن کاملThe Structure of Automorphic Loops
Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes, for instance, groups and commutative Moufang loops. We study uniquely 2-divisible automorphic loops, particularly automorphic loops of odd order, from the point of view of the associated Bruck loops (motivated by Glauberman’s work on uniquely 2-divisible Moufang loops) and the associated L...
متن کاملA class of simple proper Bol loops ∗ Gábor
For a loop Q, we call the maps La(x) = ax,Ra(x) = xa left and right translations, respectively. These are permutations of Q, generating the left and right multiplication groups LMlt(Q),RMlt(Q) of Q, respectively. The group closure Mlt(Q) of LMlt(Q) and RMlt(Q) is the full multiplication group of Q. Just like for groups, normal subloops are kernels of homomorphisms of loops. The loop Q is simple...
متن کاملChevalley Groups of Type G2 as Automorphism Groups of Loops
Let M∗(q) be the unique nonassociative finite simple Moufang loop constructed over GF (q). We prove that Aut(M∗(2)) is the Chevalley group G2(2), by extending multiplicative automorphism of M∗(2) into linear automorphisms of the unique split octonion algebra over GF (2). Many of our auxiliary results apply in the general case. In the course of the proof we show that every element of a split oct...
متن کاملMoufang Loops of Small Order
The main result of this paper is the determination of all nonassociative Moufang loops of orders *31. Combinatorial type methods are used to consider a number of cases which lead to the discovery of 13 loops of the type in question and prove that there can be no others. All of the loops found are isomorphic to all of their loop isotopes, are solvable, and satisfy both Lagrange's theorem and Syl...
