Extensions of groups by weighted Steiner loops

Abstract

Solving functional equations given in \cite{nagy} for extensions of a group AA by a weighted Steiner loop SS we obtain concrete description for all loops with interesting weak associativity properties if the Steiner loop SS induces only the trivial automorphism on AA. We show that the restricted Fischer groups and their geometry play an important role for loop extension with right alternative property. Also the automorphism groups of these extensions as well as the conditions for isomorphisms between two extensions are studied.
