Nilpotency in Automorphic Loops of Prime Power Order
نویسندگان
چکیده
A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using socalled associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with suitable elements of an anisotropic plane in the vector space of 2 × 2 matrices over the field of prime order p, we construct a family of automorphic loops of order p with trivial center.

The Structure of Automorphic Loops
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 of odd order, from the point of view of the associated Bruck loops (motivated by Glauberman’s work on uniquely 2-divisible Moufang loops) and the associated L...
متن کاملConstructions of Commutative Automorphic Loops
A loop whose inner mappings are automorphisms is an automorphic loop (or A-loop). We characterize commutative (A-)loops with middle nucleus of index 2 and solve the isomorphism problem. Using this characterization and certain central extensions based on trilinear forms, we construct several classes of commutative A-loops of order a power of 2. We initiate the classification of commutative A-loo...
متن کاملThe Structure of Commutative Automorphic Loops
An automorphic loop (or A-loop) is a loop whose inner mappings are automorphisms. Every element of a commutative A-loop generates a group, and (xy)−1 = x−1y−1 holds. Let Q be a finite commutative A-loop and p a prime. The loop Q has order a power of p if and only if every element of Q has order a power of p. The loop Q decomposes as a direct product of a loop of odd order and a loop of order a ...
متن کاملOn the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups
The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
متن کاملA Class of Loops Categorically Isomorphic to Uniquely 2-divisible Bruck Loops
We define a new variety of loops we call Γ-loops. After showing Γ-loops are power associative, our main goal will be showing a categorical isomorphism between uniquely 2-divisible Bruck loops and uniquely 2-divisible Γ-loops. Once this has been established, we can use the well known structure of Bruck loops of odd order to derive the Odd Order, Lagrange and Cauchy Theorems for Γ-loops of odd or...
