Loops which are cyclic extensions of their nuclei
Bol loops with a large left nucleus
Possession of a unique nonidentity commutator/associator is a property which dominates the theory of loops whose loop rings, while not associative, nevertheless satisfy an ``interesting'' identity. Indeed, until now, with the exception of some ad hoc examples, the only known class of Bol loops whose loop rings satisfy the right Bol identity have this property. In this paper, we identify another class of loops whose loop rings are ``strongly right alternative'' and present various constructions of...
Minimally nonassociative Moufang loops with a unique nonidentity commutator are ring alternative
We investigate finite Moufang loops with a unique nonidentity commutator which are not associative, but all of whose proper subloops are associative. Curiously, perhaps, such loops turn out to be ``ring alternative'', in the sense that their loop rings are alternative rings.
