Abstract
Let be a finite group and the cyclic group of order 2. Consider the 8 multiplicative operations , where , , . Define a new multiplication on by assigning one of the above 8 multiplications to each quarter , for , . When is nonabelian then exactly four assignments yield Moufang loops that are not associative; all (anti)isomorphic, known as loops .
