In this paper we investigate the situation where a group G has an abelian subgroup H with connected transversals. We show that if H is finite then G is solvable. We also investigate some special cases where the structure of H is very close to the structure of a cyclic group. Finally we apply our results to loop theory and we show that if the inner mapping group of a finite loop Q is abelian then Q is centrally nilpotent.
