New algebraic properties of middle Bol loops II

A loop (Q, ·, \, /) is called a middle Bol loop (MBL) if it obeys the identity x(yz\x)=(x/z)(y\x). To every MBL corresponds a right Bol loop (RBL) and a left Bol loop (LBL). In this paper, some new algebraic properties of a middle Bol loop are established in a different style. Some new methods of constructing a MBL by using a non-abelian group, the holomorph of a right Bol loop and a ring are described. Some equivalent necessary and sufficient conditions for a right (left) Bol loop to be a middle Bol loop are established. A RBL (MBL, LBL, MBL) is shown to be a MBL (RBL, MBL, LBL) if and only if it is a Moufang loop.

Differential equations of smooth loops related to some space-time models: Integrability conditions and geometry

The original approach of Lie to the theory of transformation groups acting on smooth manifolds, on the basis of differential equations, being applied to smooth loops, has permitted the development of the infinitesimal theory of smooth loops generalizing the Lie group theory. A loop with the law of associativity verified for its binary operation is a group. It has been shown that the system of differential equations characterizing a smooth loop with the right Bol identity and the integrability conditions lead to the binary-ternary algebra as a proper infinitesimal object, which turns out to be the Bol algebra (i.e. a Lie triple system with an additional bilinear skew-symmetric operation). There exist the analogous considerations for Moufang loops. We will consider the differential equations of smooth loops, generalizing smooth left Bol loops, with the identities that are the characteristic identities for the algebraic description of some relativistic space-time models. Further examinations of the integrability conditions for the differential equations allow us to introduce the proper infinitesimal object for some subclass of loops under consideration. The geometry of corresponding homogeneous spaces can be described in terms of tensors of curvature and torsion.

A Family of Left Lie Bol Loops

In this paper the left Bol split extension method is used to build left Bol Lie loops from the Lie groups $H$ and $K$ such that $H$ is a Lie subgroup of $Aut(K)$. Furthermore, we investigated some of the properties of those loops constructed in this way. Examples are given for finite and infinite dimensional left Bol Lie loops. Moreover, we showed that the twisted semidirect product of Lie algebras is an Akivis algebra.

UNIQUELY 2-DIVISIBLE BOL LOOPS

Although any finite Bol loop of odd prime exponent is solvable, we show there exist such Bol loops with trivial center. We also construct finitely generated, infinite, simple Bruck loops of odd prime exponent for sufficiently large primes. This shows that the Burnside problem for Bruck loops has a negative answer.
