On commutative A-loops of order PQ

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219498815500413Cited by:0 (Source: Crossref)

    We study a construction introduced by Drápal, giving rise to commutative A-loops of order kn where k and n are odd numbers. We show which combinations of k and n are possible if the construction is based on a field or on a cyclic group. We conclude that if p and q are odd primes, there exists a non-associative commutative A-loop of order pq if and only if p divides q2 - 1 and such a loop is most probably unique.
