The first question is therefore open only in the infinite case. Call loop Q of Csörgõ type if it is nilpotent of class at least 3, and Inn(Q) is abelian. No loop of Csörgõ type of nilpotency class higher than 3 is known.
One can normalize a Cayley table of a quasigroup in the same manner as a reduced Latin square. Then the quasigroup associated to a reduced Latin square has a (two sided) identity element (namely, the first element among the row headers). A quasigroup with a two sided identity is called a loop. Some, but not all, loops are groups.
A quasigroup with an idempotent element is called a pique ("pointed idempotent quasigroup"); this is a weaker notion than a loop but common nonetheless because, for example, given an abelian group, (A, +), taking its subtraction operation as quasigroup multiplication yields a pique (A, −) with the group identity (zero) turned into a "pointed ...

Moufang loops are universal among inverse property loops; that is, a loop Q is a Moufang loop if and only if every loop isotope of Q has the inverse property. It follows that every loop isotope of a Moufang loop is a Moufang loop. One can use inverses to rewrite the left and right Moufang identities in a more useful form:
The free group G = π 1 (X) has n = 2 generators corresponding to loops a,b from the base point P in X.The subgroup H of even-length words, with index e = [G : H] = 2, corresponds to the covering graph Y with two vertices corresponding to the cosets H and H' = aH = bH = a −1 H = b − 1 H, and two lifted edges for each of the original loop-edges a,b.
In its most general form a loop group is a group of continuous mappings from a manifold M to a topological group G.. More specifically, [1] let M = S 1, the circle in the complex plane, and let LG denote the space of continuous maps S 1 → G, i.e.
