Small loops of nilpotency class 3 with commutative inner mapping groups.

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Groups with commuting inner mappings are of nilpotency class at most two, but there exist loops with commuting inner mappings and of nilpotency class higher than two, called loops of Cs"orgH{o} type. In order to obtain small loops of Cs"orgH{o} type, we expand our programme from `Explicit constructions of loops with commuting inner mappings', European J. Combin. 29 (2008), 1662-1681, and analyze the following setup in groups: Let G be a group, ZleZ(G), and suppose that delta:G/ZimesG/ZoZ satisfies delta(x,x)=1, delta(x,y)=delta(y,x)1, zyxdelta([z,y],x)=zxydelta([z,x],y) for every x, y, zinG, and delta(xy,z)=delta(x,z)delta(y,z) whenever x,y,zcapG is not empty. Then there is mu:G/ZimesG/ZoZ with delta(x,y)=mu(x,y)mu(y,x)1 such that the multiplication xy=xymu(x,y) defines a loop with commuting inner mappings, and this loop is of Cs"orgH{o} type (of nilpotency class three) if and only if g(x,y,z)=delta([x,y],z)delta([y,z],x)delta([z,x],y) is nontrivial. Moreover, G has nilpotency class at most three, and if g is nontrivial then |G|ge128, |G| is even, and g induces a trilinear alternating form. We describe all nontrivial setups (G,Z,delta) with |G|=128. This allows us to construct for the first time a loop of Cs"orgH{o} type with an inner mapping group that is not elementary abelian.
