Abstract
The systematic study of identities in groups was begun by B. H. Neumann in 1937, [7]. Although many special loop identities have been extensively investigated, there is not, as yet, a general theory of identical relations in loops. We cannot hope that such a theory will be as rich in results as in the group case (except in the sense that loop theory includes group theory) but there are many interesting problems, including some which have no analogue in the associative case.Keywords
