A loop [Formula: see text] is called a FRUTE loop if it obeys the identity [Formula: see text]. Interestingly, a FRUTE loop is a Moufang loop but not necessarily an extra loop or a group (and vice versa). In this paper, algebraic properties of the left (right) regular representation set of a FRUTE loop are deduced. A FRUTE loop is shown to be universal and an [Formula: see text]-loop for all [Formula: see text]. A Moufang loop is shown to be a FRUTE loop if and only if it is nuclear cube if and only if it is an [Formula: see text]-loop. It is established that: the smallest, associative, non-commutative FRUTE loop is of order [Formula: see text] (the quaternion group [Formula: see text]); for any [Formula: see text], there exists at least a non-commutative group of order [Formula: see text] that is a FRUTE loop; there exists [Formula: see text]-groups of orders [Formula: see text] that are non-commutative FRUTE loops; there are no non-commutative groups that are FRUTE loops of the following range of orders [Formula: see text]; there are two non-associative FRUTE loops of order [Formula: see text] up to isomorphism and there are six non-isomorphic, non-associative FRUTE loops of order [Formula: see text]. It is noted that there exists a non-associative and non-commutative FRUTE loop of order [Formula: see text]. The study is concluded with some questions, conjectures and problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
