Review text

The author uses loop rings to study linear projective planes. In the process he is lead to consider a certain class of loops which are of interest, independent of the study of projective planes: Loops \(X\) admitting a group \(L\) of automorphisms transitive on the set of nonidentity elements of \(X\). The author begins the work with the questions: 1) Let \(R\) be a finite right distributive loop ring. Is it the case that either: a) \(R\) is a right quasifield, or b) The multiplicative loop of \(R\) is the nonabelian multiplicative group of a left nearfield \(N\), such that \(N\) coordinatizes the same non-Desarguesian translation plane? 2) What can be said about finite transitive loop representations? The main result of the work is the theorem: Assume \(t\) is a transitive loop representation and \(X\) is a finite Bol loop. Then \(X\) is an elementary Abelian \(p\)-group for some prime \(p\).
