Simple Bol loops
Abstract
Description
In this paper we investigate the Bol loops and connected with them groups. We prove an analog of the Doro's theorem for Moufang loops and find a criterion for simplicity of Bol loops. One of the main results obtained is the following: if the right multiplication group of a connected finite Bol loop $S$ is a simple group, then $S$ is a Moufang loop.
