Torsors and Ternary Moufang Loops Arising in Projective Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We give an interpretation of the construction of torsors from [BeKi10a] in terms of classical projective geometry. For the Desarguesian case, this leads to a reformulation of certain results from [BeKi10a], whereas for the Moufang case the result is new. But even in the Desarguesian case it sheds new light on the relation between the lattice structure and the algebraic structures of a projective space.

Generators for Finite Simple Moufang Loops
Moufang loops are one of the best-known generalizations of groups. There is only one countable family of nonassociative finite simple Moufang loops, arising from the split octonion algebras. We prove that every member of this family is generated by three elements, using the classical results on generators of unimodular groups.
متن کاملSome Geometry and Combinatorics for the S-Invariant of Ternary Cubics
In earlier papers [Wilson 04, Totaro 04], the S-invariant of a ternary cubic f was interpreted in terms of the curvature of related Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian metrics — this is clarified further in Section 1. In the case when f arises from the cubic form on the second cohomology of a smooth projective threefold with second Betti number three, the value of the S-invariant is closely linked...
متن کاملThe Structure of Free Automorphic Moufang Loops
We describe the structure of a free loop of rank n in the variety of automorphic Moufang loops as a subdirect product of a free group and a free commutative Moufang loop, both of rank n. In particular, the variety of automorphic Moufang loops is the join of the variety of groups and the variety of commutative Moufang loops.
متن کاملMoufang Loops with Commuting Inner Mappings
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 mappings have nilpotency class at most two. There is a Moufang loop of order 2 with commuting inner mappings and of nilpotency class three.
متن کاملPrimary Decompositions in Varieties of Commutative Diassociative Loops
The decomposition theorem for torsion abelian groups holds analogously for torsion commutative diassociative loops. With this theorem in mind, we investigate commutative diassociative loops satisfying the additional condition (trivially satisfied in the abelian group case) that all nth powers are central, for a fixed n. For n = 2, we get precisely commutative C loops. For n = 3, a prominent var...
