The diadem of the Savant is considered light armor. Find at Froki's shack on the wood chopping block.

If you ever wore mismatched armor, like hide armor for the body and the horned helmet on the head you will notice you getting exp increases in light armor and heavy armor. The hits are specific to each body part. His feetsies are never taking damage but the rest of the body...

could you explain this loop?
exactly what perks and what potions/gear do i need?
and what is the process?

See my first post in this thread for the build (except Ancient Knowledge is not part of the loop).
With that build you can make a set of 4 pieces of Fortify Alchemy apparel (head, hands, necklace and ring) with each piece providing a 25% increase. With that set of apparel you make Fortify Enchanting potions that you use to make another set of Fortify Alchemy apparel with each piece providing a 28% increase. Repeat this step one more time to make your final set of Fortify Alchemy apparel with each piece providing a 29% increase.
After that you can make your set of Fortify Smithing gear (chest, hands, necklace and ring) with each piece providing a 29% increase by using Fortify Enchanting postions.
Using the 116% Fortify Alchemy apparel you then make 130% Fortify Smithing potions.
Wearing your Fortify Smithing apparel and taking a Fortify Smithing potion before you improve an item at the workbench or grindstone completes the loop giving you extremely powerful (overpowered in the case of weapons) gear.
Some items have several categories, for instance general tullus' clothes. Here's the uesp:

If you have the stamina regen perk, since it requires all light armor in place, deplete your stamina by running and see how fast it comes back. Rinse & repeat with it off. Rinse & repeat with a light armor helmet.
There's a blog that mentions it counting as light armor to get the custom fit bonus.

why my potions of fortify smithing do not pass 119%? i have all perks in alchemy/enchanting, if i make apotion of enchanting, and enchanting a Alchemy gear, (28% each item), then make another potion of enchanting to enchant another gear, it not goes beyond 28%.

it'
is hard to say, but it's pretty likely to be true (although some people still maintain that it's wrong). the idea is that you can only have a max damage negation of 80%, and at 567 you're armour rating gives you 80% armour rating, I would say this is true because if it weren't you would stop taking damage all together at a certain armour rating.

I wouldn't call it a failure, the smithing/enchanting/alchemy loop would become even more OP if you could go into no-damage zone, which you don't need, at 80% damage reduction you're already taking next to no damage.
besides, I like the fact that you can reach the cap with any piece of armour, it means that if I want to max out my character I can do so while still looking how I want.

567, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Maces only ignore armor with Bone Breaker perks. Most NPC's don't have perks and I don't know of any generic enemies that have perks.
