An extension formula for right Bol loops arising from Bol reflections

Mario Galici, Gabor P. Nagy

Abstract

We study a new extension formula for right Bol loops. We prove the necessary or sufficient conditions for the extension to be right Bol. We describe the most important invariants: right multiplication group, nuclei, and center. We show that the core is an involutory quandle which is the disjoint union of two isomorphic involutory quandles. We also derive further results on the structure group of the core of the extension.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

$\widetilde{L}$ is a right Bol loop if and only if $L$ is a right Bol loop with $x^2\in Z(L)$ for every $x\in L$. Moreover, the following are equivalent:
