Abstract: A loop is automorphic if all its inner mappings are automorphisms. We construct a large family of automorphic loops as follows. Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $V$ an $R$-module, $E=mathrm{End}_R(V)$ the ring of $R$-endomorphisms of $V$, and $W$ a subgroup of $(E,+)$ such that $ab=ba$ for every $a$, $binW$ and $1+a$ is invertible for every $ainW$. Then $Q_{R,V}(W)$ defined on $WimesV$ by $(a,u)(b,v)=(a+b,u(1+b)+v(1-a))$ is an automorphic loop. A special case occurs when $R=k<K=V$ is a field extension and $W$ is a $k$-subspace of $K$ such that $k1capW=0$, naturally embedded into $mathrm{End}_k(K)$ by $amapsto{M}_a$, $b{M}_a=ba$. In this case we denote the automorphic loop $Q_{R,V}(W)$ by $Q_{k<K}(W)$. We call the parameters tame if $k$ is a prime field, $W$ generates $K$ as a field over $k$, and $K$ is perfect when $mathrmchar(k)=2$. We describe the automorphism groups of tame automorphic loops $Q_{k<K}(W)$, and we solve the isomorphism problem for tame automorphic loops $Q_{k<K}(W)$. A special case solves a problem about automorphic loops of order $p^3$ posed by Jedliv{c}ka, Kinyon and Vojtv{e}chovsk'y. We conclude the paper with a construction of an infinite $2$-generated abelian-by-cyclic automorphic loop of prime exponent.
