Affine extensions of loops.

Publication date 28 February 2005

Abstract: We show a simple geometric procedure for an extension of a loop realized as the image

S i g m a^{a s t}

of a sharply transitive section in a subgroup

G^{a s t}

of the projective linear group

P G L (n - 1, m a t h b b K)

to a loop realized as the image of a sharply transitive section in a group

D e l t a = T^{'} t i m e s C

of affinities of the

n

-dimensional space

{c a l A}_{n} = m a t h b b K^{n}

over a commutative field

m a t h b b K

. We desire that

T^{'}

is a large subgroup of affine translations and that

a l p h a (C) = G^{a s t}

holds for the canonical homomorphism

a l p h a : G L (n, m a t h b b K) o P G L (n, m a t h b b K)

. We demonstrate that our construction successfully can be applied to sharply transitive sections in unitary and orthogonal groups

S U_{p_{2}} (n, F)

of positive index

p_{2}

over ordered pythagorean

n

-real fields

F

.
