Loops with Abelian Inner Mapping Groups: An Application of Automated Deduction

Abstract: Abstract. We describe a large-scale project in applied automated deduction concerned with the following problem of considerable interest in loop theory: If Q is a loop with commuting inner mappings, does it follow that Q modulo its center is a group and Q modulo its nucleus is an abelian group? This problem has been answered affirmatively in several varieties of loops. The solution usually involves sophisticated techniques of automated deduction, and the resulting derivations are very long, often with no highe… Show more

“…This technique has been originally developed by Veroff [22] and implemented in Otter [14] and Prover9 [15]. Since then, it has been extensively used in the AIM project [12] for obtaining long and advanced proofs of open algebraic conjectures. The watchlist mechanism is nowadays implemented also in E. All the above implementations use only a single watchlist, as opposed to ProofWatch discussed below.…”

“…The main application have so far been problems in equational algebra [15]. A recent example where very long proofs of open conjectures are found thanks to this technique is the project AIMed at characterizing loops with Abelian Inner Mappings groups [9]. A similar technique that extracts and generalizes lemmas from previous proofs and uses them for proof guidance was implemented by Schulz in E prover as a part of his PhD thesis [17].…”

“…4 Our very initial experiments (done with Veroff) with hints on large-theory problems have shown that unlike the equational proofs, the proofs of large-theory problems contain many (incompatible) skolem constants and steps depending on the negated conjecture, and thus are harder to re-orient into the strictly-forward proofs [9] from which lemmas derived only from the axioms and containing only known symbols can be extracted. A related issue is that the large-theory proofs seem to be much more heterogeneous than e.g.…”
