An Abelian Loop for Non-Composites

General Mathematics 2024-12-11 v3

Abstract

We define an abelian loop on a set SS consisting of 1 and all odd prime numbers with an operation \bullet, where for a,ba,b \in SS, aa \bullet bb is the smallest element of SS strictly larger than ab|a-b|. We use theorems and conjectures from number theory to prove properties of the loop and state analogous conjectures about the loop.
