Loops, their cores and symmetric spaces (Q1264293)

Some relations between global symmetric spaces, global smooth Bol and Moufang loops and the corresponding 3-webs are investigated. Properties of groups generated by the left and right translations of differentiable connected Moufang loops are described and some propositions for symmetric space structure connected with a differentiable Bol loop are proved. One corollary of the theory is that every differentiable connected Moufang loop is analytic. Some well-known local results of the Bol loop theory are obtained in an original way. In particular, generalization of the classical Hausdorff-Campbell formulae for the class of the left alternative local loops is found. Every connected differentiable Bol loop satisfying the identity \(x(y^2x)=y(x^2y)\) must be an abelian group.
