Small loops of nilpotency class three with commutative inner mapping groups
Abstract
Groups with commuting inner mappings are of nilpotency class at most two, but there exist loops with commuting inner mappings and of nilpotency class higher than two, called loops of Cs\"org\H{o} type. In order to obtain small loops of Cs\"org\H{o} type, we expand our programme from `Explicit constructions of loops with commuting inner mappings', European J. Combin. 29 (2008), 1662-1681, and analyze the following setup in groups: Let be a group, , and suppose that satisfies , , for every , , , and whenever is not empty. Then there is with such that the multiplication defines a loop with commuting inner mappings, and this loop is of Cs\"org\H{o} type (of nilpotency class three) if and only if is nontrivial. Moreover, has nilpotency class at most three, and if is nontrivial then , is even, and induces a trilinear alternating form. We describe all nontrivial setups with . This allows us to construct for the first time a loop of Cs\"org\H{o} type with an inner mapping group that is not elementary abelian.
