Abstract: Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. A large class of automorphic loops is obtained as follows: Let m be a positive even integer, G an abelian group, and alpha an automorphism of G that satisfies alpha2=1 if m>2. Then the dihedral-like automorphic loop mathrmDih(m,G,alpha) is defined on mathbbZmimesG by (i,u)(j,v)=(i+j,((1)ju+v)alphaij). We prove that two finite dihedral-like automorphic loops mathrmDih(m,G,alpha), mathrmDih(overlinem,overlineG,overlinealpha) are isomorphic if and only if m=overlinem, G=overlineG, and alpha is conjugate to overlinealpha in the automorphism group of G. Moreover, for a finite dihedral-like automorphic loop Q we describe the structure of the automorphism group of Q and its subgroup consisting of inner mappings of Q.
