Abstract

Moufang loop <L, .>  is defined as a loop that satisfies any one of the identities: pq.rp =(p.qr)p, pq.rp= p(qr.p), (pq.r)q=p(q.rq) or p(q.pr)=(pq.p)r. This definition assumes the equivalence of these identities. We had earlier provided the proof of the equivalence of two of these identities: pq.rp =(p.qr)p and (pq.r)q=p(q.rq)  in [5], using a simple algebraic method and manipulation. In this paper we continue with our style of proof by providing the proof of the equivalence of another two of these identities: p(q.pr)=(pq.p)r and p(qr.p)=pq.rp.
