We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for there to exist a latin square of order containing two subsquares of order and that intersect in a subsquare of order . We also solve the case of two disjoint subsquares. We use these results to show that: (a) A latin square of order cannot have more than subsquares of order , where . Indeed, the number of subsquares of order is bounded by a polynomial of degree at most in . (b) For all there exists a loop of order...
