Abstract

We present equivalent definitions of code loops in any characteristic p≠0. The most natural definition is via combinatorial polarization, but we also show how to realize code loops by linear codes and as a class of symplectic conjugacy closed loops. For p odd, it is possible to define code loops via characteristic trilinear forms. Related concepts are discussed.
