A polynomial bound for multiplication groups of Moufang loops

About 19 years old · traced to

Let nn be the order of a Moufang loop, and let Mlt⁡(L)\operatorname{Mlt}(L) denote its multiplication group. Polynomial-bound conjecture. The function

f(n)=4n4f(n)=4n^4

solves the problem of finding a function f:N→Nf:\mathbb N\to\mathbb N such that the order of the multiplication group of every Moufang loop of order nn is less than f(n)f(n). The proposed bound is motivated by the finite Paige loops M∗(q)M^*(q), for which the source derives ∣Mlt⁡(M∗(q))∣<4∣M∗(q)∣4|\operatorname{Mlt}(M^*(q))|<4|M^*(q)|^4; the source does not state whether this claim has been resolved.
