The commutative Moufang loops with minimum conditions for subloops I

Abstract

The structure of the commutative Moufang loops (CML) with minimum condition for subloops is examined. In particular it is proved that such a CML $Q$ is a finite extension of a direct product of a finite number of the quasicyclic groups, lying in the centre of the CML $Q$. It is shown that the minimum conditions for subloops and for normal subloops are equivalent in a CML. Moreover, such CML also characterized by different conditions of finiteness of its multiplication groups.
