A question associated with the 2005 open problem of Michael Kinyon (Is every Osborn loop universal?), is answered. Two nice identities that characterize universal (left and right universal) Osborn loops are established. Numerous new…
We define a variety of loops called semiautomorphic, inverse property loops that generalize Moufang and Steiner loops. We first show an equivalence between a previously studied variety of loops. Next we extend several known results for…
We investigate Moufang loops which can be written as the semidirect product of a loop and a group. We also examine a particular class of loop extensions which arise as a result of a finite cyclic group acting as a group of semiautomorphisms…
An open problem in theory of loops is to find the variety of non- Moufang loops satisfying the Moufang Theorem. In this note, we present a variety of local smooth diassociative loops with such property.
In this study we introduce $\alpha$-elasticity property for generalized Moufang loops. Necessary and sufficient conditions for $\alpha$-elasticity of generalized Moufang loops to be universal are given. Using the universal conditions, and…
Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes groups and commutative Moufang loops. A half-isomorphism $f : G \longrightarrow K$ between multiplicative systems $G$ and $K$ is a…
It is known that with precision till isomorphism that only and only loops $M(F) = M_0(F)/<-1>$, where $M_0(F)$ denotes the loop, consisting from elements of all matrix Cayley-Dickson algebra $C(F)$ with norm 1, and $F$ be a subfield of…
We study anisotropic universal quadratic forms over semi-global fields; i.e., over one-variable function fields over complete discretely valued fields. In particular, given a semi-global field $F$, we compute both the $m$-invariant of $F$…
Non-associative finite invertible loops (NAFIL) are loops whose every element has a unique two-sided inverse. Not much is known about the class of NAFIL loops which includes the familiar IP (Inverse Property), Moufang, and Bol loops. Our…
A loop $(Q,\cdot,\backslash,/)$ is called a middle Bol loop if it obeys the identity $x(yz\backslash x)=(x/z)(y\backslash x)$. In this paper, some new algebraic properties of a middle Bol loop are established. Four bi-variate mappings…
LC-loops, RC-loops and C-loops are collectively called central loops. It is shown that an LC(RC)-loop is a left(right) universal loop. But an LC(RC)-loop is a universal loop if and only if it is a right(left) universal loop. It is observed…
Isotopes of C-loops with unique non-identity squares are shown to be both C-loops and A-loops. The relationship between C-loops and Steiner loops is further studied. Central loops with the weak and cross inverse properties are also…
Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes, for instance, groups and commutative Moufang loops. We study uniquely 2-divisible automorphic loops, particularly automorphic loops…
We study a variety of loops, RIF, which arise naturally from considering inner mapping groups, and a somewhat larger variety, ARIF. All Steiner and Moufang loops are RIF, and all flexible C-loops are ARIF. We show that all ARIF loops are…
We investigate the relation between the structure of a Moufang loop and its inner mapping group. Moufang loops of odd order with commuting inner mappings have nilpotency class at most two. $6$-divisible Moufang loops with commuting inner…
In this paper the linear representations of analytic Moufang loops are investigated. We prove that every representation of semisimple analytic Moufang loop is completely reducible and find all nonassociative irreducible representations. We…
We prove that if the squaring map in the factor loop of a Moufang loop $Q$ over its nucleus is surjective, then every half-isomorphism of $Q$ onto a Moufang loop is either an isomorphism or an anti-isomorphism. This generalizes all earlier…
A \emph{loop} $(B,\cdot)$ is a set $B$ together with a binary operation $\cdot$ such that (i) for each $a\in B$, the left and right translation mappings $L_{a}:B\to B: x \mapsto a\cdot x$ and $R_{a}:B\to B: x \mapsto x\cdot a$ are…
A loop $(Q,\cdot,\backslash,/)$ is called a middle Bol loop if it obeys the identity $x(yz\backslash x)=(x/z)(y\backslash x)$. To every right (left) Bol loop corresponds a middle Bol loop via an isostrophism. In this paper, the structure of…
It is proved that any free Moufang loop can be embedded in a loop of invertible elements of some alternative algebra.
