On extraspecial left conjugacy closed loops. (Q855741)

The main purpose of this paper is to describe all extraspecial LCC loops \(Q\) (left conjugacy closed). In fact, like when one describes all extraspecial groups, the author is concerned with all finite LCC loops \(Q\) such that \(Q/Z\) is an elementary Abelian \(p\)-group, and \(Z\) a central subloop of order \(p\). This paper can be regarded as a continuation of \textit{P. Csörgő} and \textit{A. Drápal} [Result. Math. 47, No. 3-4, 242-265 (2005; Zbl 1097.20053)] where there was started a systematic investigation of LCC loops of nilpotency class two. For example, in this paper the Theorem 2.1 reproduces a general construction contained in the paper cited above.
