Isotopy of loops

In the mathematical field of abstract algebra, isotopy is an equivalence relation used to classify the algebraic notion of loop.

Isotopy for loops and quasigroups was introduced by Albert (1943), based on his slightly earlier definition of isotopy for algebras, which was in turn inspired by work of Steenrod.
