Abstract: | Finite simple, unipotent Bol loops have recently been identified and constructed using group theory. However, the purely group-theoretical constructions of the actual loops are indirect, somewhat arbitrary in places, and rely on computer calculations to a certain extent. In the spirit of revisionism, this paper is intended to give a more explicit combinatorial specification of the smallest simple, unipotent Bol loop, making use of concepts from projective geometry and quasigroup theory along with the group-theoretical background. The loop has dual permutation representations on the projective line of order 5, with doubly stochastic action matrices. |
