Moufang loops with commuting inner mappings. (Q1030711)

The authors study the relation between the structure of a Moufang loop \(Q\) and its inner mapping group \(\text{Inn\,}Q\). They obtain the following main results: A Moufang loop \(Q\) of odd order with Abelian inner mapping group \(\text{Inn\,}Q\) has nilpotency class at most 2. This finiteness condition can be removed in the case of 6-divisible Moufang loops: A uniquely 6-divisible Moufang loop \(Q\) with Abelian \(\text{Inn\,}Q\) has nilpotency class at most 2. For loops of even order this theorem does not hold: The authors construct a Moufang loop of order \(2^{14}\) with Abelian inner mapping group which has nilpotency class 3. Loops with Abelian inner mapping groups and nilpotency class \(>2\) are called loops of Csörgö type.
