Three-dimensional topological loops with solvable multiplication groups

We prove that each $3$-dimensional connected topological loop $L$ having a solvable Lie group of dimension $\le 5$ as the multiplication group of $L$ is centrally nilpotent of class $2$. Moreover, we classify the solvable non-nilpotent Lie groups $G$ which are multiplication groups for $3$-dimensional simply connected topological loops $L$ and $\hbox{dim} \ G \le 5$. These groups are direct products of proper connected Lie groups and have dimension $5$. We find also the inner mapping groups of $L$

33-dimensional Bol loops corresponding to solvable Lie triple systems

We classify the connected $3$-dimensional differentiable Bol loops $L$ having a solvable Lie group as the group topologically generated by the left translations of $L$ using $3$-dimensional solvable Lie triple systems. Together with \cite{figula} our results complete the classification of all $3$-dimensional differentiable Bol loops

Affine reductive spaces of small dimension and left A-loops

In this paper we determine the at least $4$-dimensional affine reductive homogeneous manifolds for an at most $9$-dimensional simple Lie group or an at most $6$-dimensional semi-simple Lie group. Those reductive spaces among them which admit a sharply transitive differentiable section yield local almost differentiable left A-loops. Using this we classify all global almost differentiable left A-loops $L$ having either a $6$-dimensional semi-simple Lie group or the group $SL_3(\mathbb R)$ as the group topologically generated by their left translations. Moreover, we determine all at most $5$-dimensional left A-loops $L$ with $PSU_3(\mathbb C,1)$ as the group topologically generated by their left translations

33-dimensional loops on non-solvable reductive spaces

We treat the almost differentiable left A-loops as images of global differentiable sharply transitive sections $\sigma :G/H \to G$ for a Lie group $G$ such that $G/H$ is a reductive homogeneous manifold. In this paper we classify all $3$-dimensional connected strongly left alternative almost differentiable left A-loops $L$, such that for the corresponding section $\sigma :G/H \to G$ the Lie group $G$ is non-solvable.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1507.0012

On the multiplication groups of three-dimensional topological loops

We clarify the structure of nilpotent Lie groups which are multiplication groups of $3$-dimensional simply connected topological loops and prove that non-solvable Lie groups acting minimally on $3$-dimensional manifolds cannot be the multiplication group of $3$-dimensional topological loops. Among the nilpotent Lie groups for any filiform groups ${\mathcal F}_{n+2}$ and ${\mathcal F}_{m+2}$ with $n, m > 1$, the direct product ${\mathcal F}_{n+2} \times \mathbb R$ and the direct product ${\mathcal F}_{n+2} \times _Z {\mathcal F}_{m+2}$ with amalgamated center $Z$ occur as the multiplication group of $3$-dimensional topological loops. To obtain this result we classify all $3$-dimensional simply connected topological loops having a $4$-dimensional nilpotent Lie group as the group topologically generated by the left translations

The multiplication groups of topological loops

In this short survey we discuss the question which Lie groups can occur as the multiplication groups $Mult(L)$ of connected topological loops $L$ and we describe the correspondences between the structure of the group $Mult(L)$ and the structure of the loop $L$.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1506.09147, arXiv:1507.0063

Bol loops as sections in semi-simple Lie groups of small dimension

Using the relations between the theory of differentiable Bol loops and the theory of affine symmetric spaces we classify all connected differentiable Bol loops having an at most $9$-dimensional semi-simple Lie group as the group topologically generated by their left translations. We show that all these Bol loops are isotopic to direct products of Bruck loops of hyperbolic type or to Scheerer extensions of Lie groups by Bruck loops of hyperbolic type

The multiplication groups of 2-dimensional topological loops

We prove that if the multiplication group $Mult(L)$ of a connected $2$-dimensional topological loop is a Lie group, then $Mult(L)$ is an elementary filiform nilpotent Lie group of dimension at least $4$. Moreover, we describe loops having elementary filiform Lie groups $\mathbb F$ as the group topologically generated by their left translations and obtain a complete classification for these loops $L$ if $\hbox{dim} \ \mathbb F=3$. In this case necessary and sufficient conditions for $L$ are given that $Mult(L)$ is an elementary filiform Lie group for a given allowed dimension.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1506.0914

Three-dimensional loops as sections in a four-dimensional solvable Lie group

We classify all three-dimensional connected topological loops such that the group topologically generated by their left translations is the four-dimensional connected Lie group $G$ which has trivial center and precisely two one-dimensional normal subgroups. We show that $G$ is not the multiplication group of connected topological proper loops.Comment: World Sci. Publ., Hackensack, NJ, 2012. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1506.0914

Loops on spheres having a compact-free inner mapping group

We prove that any topological loop homeomorphic to a sphere or to a real projective space and having a compact-free Lie group as the inner mapping group is homeomorphic to the circle. Moreover, we classify the differentiable $1$-dimensional compact loops explicitly using the theory of Fourier series
