Abstract

We show a simple geometric procedure for an extension of a loop realized as the image Σ\Sigma ^{\ast} of a sharply transitive section in a subgroup GG^{\ast} of the projective linear group PGL(n1,K)PGL(n-1, \mathbb K) to a loop realized as the image of a sharply transitive section in a group Δ=TC\Delta =T' \rtimes C of affinities of the nn-dimensional space An=Kn{\cal A}_n=\mathbb K^n over a commutative field K\mathbb K. We desire that TT' is a large subgroup of affine translations and that α(C)=G\alpha (C)=G^{\ast} holds for the canonical homomorphism α:GL(n,K)PGL(n,K)\alpha :GL(n,\mathbb K) \to PGL(n, \mathbb K). We demonstrate that our construction successfully can be applied to sharply transitive sections in unitary and orthogonal groups SUp2(n,F)SU_{p_2}(n,F) of positive index p2p_2 over ordered pythagorean nn-real fields FF.
