<h3>9 <span class="Heading">Libraries of Loops</span></h3>
<p>Libraries of small loops form an integral part of <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong>. The loops are stored in libraries up to isomorphism and, sometimes, up to isotopism.</p>

<h4>9.1 <span class="Heading">A Typical Library</span></h4>
<p>A library named <em>my Library</em> is stored in file <code class="file">data/mylibrary.tbl</code>, and the corresponding data structure is named <code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data</code>. For example, when the library is called <em>left Bol</em>, the corresponding data file is called <code class="file">data/leftbol.tbl</code> and the corresponding data structure is named <code class="code">LOOPS_left_bol_data</code>.</p>
<p>In most cases, the array <code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data</code> consists of three lists:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data[1]</code> is a list of orders for which there is at least one loop in the library,</p>
</li>
<li><p><code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data[2][k]</code> is the number of loops of order <code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data[1][k]</code> in the library,</p>
</li>
<li><p><code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data[3][k][s]</code> contains data necessary to produce the <code class="code">s</code>th loop of order <code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data[1][k]</code> in the library.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The format of <code class="code">LOOPS_my_library_data[3]</code> depends heavily on the particular library and is not standardized in any way. The data is often coded to save space.</p>

<h4>9.2 <span class="Heading">Left Bol Loops and Right Bol Loops</span></h4>
<p>The library named <em>left Bol</em> contains all nonassociative left Bol loops of order less than 17, including Moufang loops, as well as all left Bol loops of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(pq\)</span> for primes <span class="SimpleMath">\(p&gt;q&gt;2\)</span>. There are 6 such loops of order 8, 1 of order 12, 2 of order 15, 2038 of order 16, and <span class="SimpleMath">\((p+q-4)/2\)</span> of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(pq\)</span>.</p>
<p>The classification of left Bol loops of order 16 was first accomplished by Moorhouse <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBMo">[Moo]</a>. Our library was generated independently and it agrees with Moorhouse's results. The left Bol loops of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(pq\)</span> were classified in <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBKiNaVo2015">[KNV15]</a>.</p>

<p>For <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\le 63\)</span>, our catalog numbers coincide with those of Goodaire et al. <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBGo">[GMR99]</a>. The classification of Moufang loops of order 64 and 81 was carried out in <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBNaVo2007">[NV07]</a>. The classification of Moufang loops of order 243 was carried out by Slattery and Zenisek <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBSlZe2011">[SZ12]</a>.</p>
<p>The extent of the library is summarized below:</p>

<h4>9.4 <span class="Heading">Code Loops</span></h4>
<p>The library named <em>code</em> contains all nonassociative code loops of order less than 65. There are 5 such loops of order 16, 16 of order 32, and 80 of order 64, all Moufang. The library merely points to the corresponding Moufang loops. See <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBNaVo2007">[NV07]</a> for a classification of small code loops.</p>

<h4>9.6 <span class="Heading">Conjugacy Closed Loops</span></h4>
<p>The library named <em>RCC</em> contains all nonassocitive right conjugacy closed loops of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\le 27\)</span> up to isomorphism. The data for the library was generated by Katharina Artic <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBArtic">[Art15]</a> who can also provide additional data for all right conjugacy closed loops of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\le 31\)</span>.</p>
<p>Let <span class="SimpleMath">\(Q\)</span> be a right conjugacy closed loop, <span class="SimpleMath">\(G\)</span> its right multiplication group and <span class="SimpleMath">\(T\)</span> its right section. Then <span class="SimpleMath">\(\langle T\rangle = G\)</span> is a transitive group, and <span class="SimpleMath">\(T\)</span> is a union of conjugacy classes of <span class="SimpleMath">\(G\)</span>. Every right conjugacy closed loop of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span> can therefore be represented as a union of certain conjugacy classes of a transitive group of degree <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. This is how right conjugacy closed loops of order less than <span class="SimpleMath">\(28\)</span> are represented in <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong>. The following table summarizes the number of right conjugacy closed loops of a given order up to isomorphism:</p>

Csörgő and Drápal <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBCsDr">[CD05]</a> described these 3 loops by multiplicative formulas on <span class="SimpleMath">\(\mathbb{Z}_{p^2}\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p\)</span> as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Case <span class="SimpleMath">\(m = 1\)</span>:Let <span class="SimpleMath">\(k\)</span> be the smallest positive integer relatively prime to <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span> and such that <span class="SimpleMath">\(k\)</span> is a square modulo <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span> (i.e., <span class="SimpleMath">\(k=1\)</span>). Define multiplication on <span class="SimpleMath">\(\mathbb{Z}_{p^2}\)</span> by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x\cdot y = x + y + kpx^2y\)</span>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Case <span class="SimpleMath">\(m = 2\)</span>: Let <span class="SimpleMath">\(k\)</span> be the smallest positive integer relatively prime to <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span> and such that <span class="SimpleMath">\(k\)</span> is not a square modulo <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>. Define multiplication on <span class="SimpleMath">\(\mathbb{Z}_{p^2}\)</span> by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x\cdot y = x + y + kpx^2y\)</span>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Case <span class="SimpleMath">\(m = 3\)</span>: Define multiplication on <span class="SimpleMath">\(\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p\)</span> by <span class="SimpleMath">\((x,a)(y,b) = (x+y, a+b+x^2y )\)</span>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Moreover, Wilson <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBWi">[WJ75]</a> constructed a nonassociative conjugacy closed loop of order <span class="SimpleMath">\(2p\)</span> for every odd prime <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>, and Kunen <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBKun">[Kun00]</a> showed that there are no other nonassociative conjugacy closed oops of this order. Here is the relevant multiplication formula on <span class="SimpleMath">\(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_p\)</span>: <span class="SimpleMath">\((0,m)(0,n) = ( 0, m + n )\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\((0,m)(1,n) = ( 1, -m + n )\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\((1,m)(0,n) = ( 1, m + n)\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\((1,m)(1,n) = ( 0, 1 - m + n )\)</span>.</p>

<h4>9.12 <span class="Heading">Libraries of Loops Up To Isotopism</span></h4>
<p>For the library named <em>small</em> we also provide the corresponding library of loops up to isotopism. In general, given a library named <em>libname</em>, the corresponding library of loops up to isotopism is named <em>itp lib</em>, and the loops can be retrieved by the template <code class="code">ItpLibLoop(n,m)</code>.</p>

<h5>9.12-1 ItpSmallLoop</h5>
<div class="func"><table class="func" width="100%"><tr><td class="tdleft"><code class="func">&#8227; ItpSmallLoop</code>( <var class="Arg">n</var>, <var class="Arg">m</var> )</td><td class="tdright">( function )</td></tr></table></div>
<p>Returns: The <var class="Arg">m</var>th small loop of order <var class="Arg">n</var> up to isotopism in the library.</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap&gt;</span> <span class="GAPinput">SmallLoop( 6, 14 ); </span>
&lt;small loop 6/14&gt;
<span class="GAPprompt">gap&gt;</span> <span class="GAPinput">ItpSmallLoop( 6, 14 ); </span>
&lt;small loop 6/42&gt;
<span class="GAPprompt">gap&gt;</span> <span class="GAPinput">LibraryLoop( "itp small", 6, 14 ); </span>
&lt;small loop 6/42&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>Note that loops up to isotopism form a subset of the corresponding library of loops up to isomorphism. For instance, the above example shows that the 14th small loop of order 6 up to isotopism is in fact the 42nd small loop of order 6 up to isomorphism.</p>
