Abstract:Loop capable groups are groups which are isomorphic to inner mapping groups of loops. In this paper we show that abelian groups $C_p^{k}\times C_p\times C_p$, where $k\geq 2$ and $p$ is an odd prime, are not loop capable groups. We also discuss generalizations of this result.
Keywords: loop, group, connected transversals
