A natural loop structure is defined on the set U4 of unimodular uppertriangular matrices over a given field. Inner mappings of the loop are computed.
It is shown that the loop is non-associative and nilpotent, of class 3. A detailed listing of the loop conjugacy classes is presented. In particular, one of the
loop conjugacy classes is shown to be properly contained in a superclass of the
corresponding algebra group.
