Bol loops with a large left nucleus

Comment.Math.Univ.Carolin. 49,2 (2008) 171-196.

Abstract: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 these loops.

Keywords: Bol loop, left nucleus, centre
