Bol Loops of Order 16 with 15 Involutions


As part of my enumeration of Bol loops of order 16 with nontrivial centre, here I list just the 33 loops which are non-associative with exactly fifteen involutions. Please see the parent page for notation, including my conventions for naming of loops and table entries. I would appreciate an email message () from you if you have any comments regarding this list.

Three loops in this category have |Z(L)|=1, namely

Also two loops in this category have |Z(L)|=4, both with |C(L)|=4, namely 16.15.4.0 and 16.15.4.1.

The remaining 28 loops found in this category all have |Z(L)|=2 and so the graph Comm(L) is defined. This graph is displayed as black-on-white if it has at most 10 edges; otherwise its complement (which has at most 10 edges) is displayed as white-on-black. In either case, isolated vertices are not displayed.

No. Comm(L) |C(L)|=2 |C(L)|=4 |C(L)|=6
