<h3>7 <span class="Heading">Testing Properties of Quasigroups and Loops</span></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Although loops are quasigroups, it is often the case in the literature that a property of the same name can differ for quasigroups and loops. For instance, a Steiner loop is not necessarily a Steiner quasigroup.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To avoid such ambivalences, we often include the noun <code class="code">Loop</code> or <code class="code">Quasigroup</code> as part of the name of the property, e.g., <code class="code">IsSteinerQuasigroup</code> versus <code class="code">IsSteinerLoop</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the other hand, some properties coincide for quasigroups and loops and we therefore do not include <code class="code">Loop</code>, <code class="code">Quasigroup</code> as part of the name of the property, e.g., <code class="code">IsCommutative</code>.</p>

<h4>7.4 <span class="Heading">Loops of Bol Moufang Type</span></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Following <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBFe">[Fen69]</a> and <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBPhiVoj">[PV05]</a>, a variety of loops is said to be of <em>Bol-Moufang type</em> if it is defined by a single <em>identity of Bol-Moufang type</em>, i.e., by an identity that contains the same 3 variables on both sides, exactly one of the variables occurs twice on both sides, and the variables occur in the same order on both sides.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is proved in <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBPhiVoj">[PV05]</a> that there are 13 varieties of nonassociative loops of Bol-Moufang type. These are:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p><em>left alternative loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(xy) = (xx)y\)</span>,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>right alternative loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(yy) = (xy)y\)</span>,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>left nuclear square loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\((xx)(yz) = ((xx)y)z\)</span>,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>middle nuclear square loops</em>defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x((yy)z) = (x(yy))z\)</span>,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>right nuclear square loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(y(zz)) = (xy)(zz)\)</span>,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>flexible loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(yx) = (xy)x\)</span>,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>left Bol loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(y(xz)) = (x(yx))z\)</span>, always left alternative,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>right Bol loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x((yz)y) = ((xy)z)y\)</span>, always right alternative,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>LC loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\((xx)(yz) = (x(xy))z\)</span>, always left alternative, left nuclear square and middle nuclear square,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>RC loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x((yz)z) = (xy)(zz)\)</span>, always right alternative, right nuclear square and middle nuclear square,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>Moufang loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\((xy)(zx) = (x(yz))x\)</span>, always flexible, left Bol and right Bol,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>C loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(y(yz)) = ((xy)y)z\)</span>, always LC and RC,</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><em>extra loops</em> defined by <span class="SimpleMath">\(x(y(zx)) = ((xy)z)x\)</span>, always Moufang and C.</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Note that although some of the defining identities are not of Bol-Moufang type, they are equivalent to a Bol-Moufang identity. Moreover, many varieties of loops of Bol-Moufang type can be defined by one of several equivalent identities of Bol-Moufang type.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are also several varieties related to loops of Bol-Moufang type. A loop is said to be <em>alternative</em> if it is both left alternative and right alternative. A loop is <em>nuclear square</em> if it is left nuclear square, middle nuclear square and right nuclear square.</p>

Similarly, a loop is <em>right power alternative</em> if it is power associative and satisfies <span class="SimpleMath">\((x y^n)y^m = xy^{n+m}\)</span> for all elements <span class="SimpleMath">\(x\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\(y\)</span> and all integers <span class="SimpleMath">\(m\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. A loop is <em>power alternative</em> if it is both left power alternative and right power alternative.</p>

|
|
<p>Left power alternative loops are left alternative and have the left inverse property. Left Bol loops and LC loops are left power alternative.</p>

<p>A loop <span class="SimpleMath">\(Q\)</span> is <em>left conjugacy closed</em> if the set of left translations of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Q\)</span> is closed under conjugation (by itself). Similarly, a loop <span class="SimpleMath">\(Q\)</span> is <em>right conjugacy closed</em> if the set of right translations of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Q\)</span> is closed under conjugation. A loop is <em>conjugacy closed</em> if it is both left conjugacy closed and right conjugacy closed. It is common to refer to these loops as LCC, RCC, and CC loops, respectively.</p>
