Abstract

Let QQ be a conjugacy closed loop, and N(Q)N(Q) its nucleus. Then Z(N(Q))Z(N(Q)) contains all associators of elements of QQ. If in addition QQ is diassociative (i.e., an extra loop), then all these associators have order 2. If QQ is power-associative and Q|Q| is finite and relatively prime to 6, then QQ is a group. If QQ is a finite non-associative extra loop, then 16Q16 \mid |Q|.
