Theory of K-Loops
Kiechle, Hubert.
Theory of K-Loops [electronic resource] / by Hubert Kiechle. - X, 186 p. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 1778 0075-8434 ; . - Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 1778 .
Introduction -- Preliminaries -- Left Loops and Transversals -- The Left Inverse Property and Kikkawa Loops -- Isotopy Theory -- Nuclei and the Autotopism Group -- Bol Loops and K-Loops -- Frobenius Ggroups with Mmany Involutions -- Loops with Fibrations -- K-Loops from Classical Groups over Ordered Fields -- Relativistic Velocity Addition -- K-Loops from the General Linear Groups over Rings -- Derivations.
The book contains the first systematic exposition of the current known theory of K-loops, as well as some new material. In particular, big classes of examples are constructed. The theory for sharply 2-transitive groups is generalized to the theory of Frobenius groups with many involutions. A detailed discussion of the relativistic velocity addition based on the author's construction of K-loops from classical groups is also included. The first chapters of the book can be used as a text, the later chapters are research notes, and only partially suitable for the classroom. The style is concise, but complete proofs are given. The prerequisites are a basic knowledge of algebra such as groups, fields, and vector spaces with forms.
