Abstract

A gyrogroup is defined as having a binary operation $\star$ containing an identity element such that each element has an inverse. Furthermore, for each pair $(a,b)$ of elements of this structure, there exists an automorphism ${\mathrm{gyr}}[a,b]$ with the property that left associativity and the left loop property are satisfied. Since each gyrogroup is a left Bol loop, some results of Burn imply that all gyrogroups of orders $p, 2p$, and $p^2$, where $p$ is a prime number, are groups. This paper aims to classify gyrogroups of orders 8, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, and 28.
