Term Formulas for the Cyclic and Dihedral Constructions

چکیده
Two constructions due to Drápal produce a group by modifying exactly one quarter of the Cayley table of another group. We present these constructions in a compact way, and generalize them to Moufang loops, using loop extensions. Both constructions preserve associators, the associator subloop, and the nucleus. We conjecture that two Moufang 2-loops of finite order n with equivalent associator can be connected by a series of constructions similar to ours, and offer empirical evidence that this is so for n = 16, 24, 32; the only interesting cases with n ≤ 32. We further investigate the way the constructions affect code loops and loops of type M(G, 2). The paper closes with several conjectures and research questions concerning the distance of Moufang loops, classification of small Moufang loops, and generalizations of the two constructions.

Classifying fuzzy normal subgroups of finite groups
In this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. Explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.
متن کاملThe Neighbourhood of Dihedral 2-groups
We examine two particular constructions that derive from a 2-group G = G(·) another 2-group G(∗) for the case when G(·) is one of D2n , SD2n , Q2n . The constructions (the cyclic one and the dihedral one) have the property that x ∗ y = x · y for exactly 3/4 of all pairs (x, y) ∈ G × G. If G(◦) and G(∗) are such 2-groups that x ◦ y 6= x ∗ y for less then a quarter of all pairs (x, y) ∈ G × G, th...
متن کاملThe number of Fuzzy subgroups of some non-abelian groups
In this paper, we compute the number of fuzzy subgroups of some classes of non-abeilan groups. Explicit formulas are givenfor dihedral groups $D_{2n}$, quasi-dihedral groups $QD_{2^n}$, generalized quaternion groups $Q_{4n}$ and modular $p$-groups $M_{p^n}$.
متن کاملCyclic and dihedral constructions of even order
Let G(◦) and G(∗) be two groups of finite order n, and suppose that they share a normal subgroup S such that u ◦ v = u ∗ v if u ∈ S or v ∈ S. Cases when G/S is cyclic or dihedral and when u ◦ v = u ∗ v for exactly n2/4 pairs (u, v) ∈ G× G have been shown to be of crucial importance when studying pairs of 2-groups with the latter property. In such cases one can describe two general constructions...
