Abstract: Rational loops played a central role in Uhlenbeck's construction of harmonic maps into U(n) (chiral model in physics), and they are generated by simple elements with one pole and one zero constructed from Hermitian projections. It has been believed for long time that nilpotent loops should be added to generate rational loop groups with noncompact reality conditions. We prove a somewhat unexpected theorem that projective loops are enough to generate the rational loop groups of GL(n,C), GL(n,R), and U(p, q).
