loops; multiplication group; alternating group
loops; multiplication group; alternating group
Summary:
We describe, in a constructive way, a family of commutative loops of odd order, $n\geq 7$, which have no nontrivial subloops and whose multiplication group is isomorphic to the alternating group $\mathcal{A}_n$.
