A classical result of group theory is that \(p\)-groups are nilpotent. But the analogous result does not hold for loops. The first difficulty is with the concept of a \(p\)-loop. However, there exist several varieties of loops where the analogy with group theory is complete [\textit{G. Glauberman}, J. Algebra 8, 393-414 (1968; Zbl 0155.03901); \textit{G. Glauberman} and \textit{C. R. B. Wright}, J. Algebra 8, 415-417 (1968; Zbl 0155.03902)]. In this paper the authors study nilpotency in automorphic loops of prime power order. For instance they prove the result: Let \(p\) be an odd prime and let \(Q\) be a finite commutative automorphic \(p\)-loop. Then \(Q\) is centrally nilpotent.
