Abstract

We describe a representation of any semiregular left loop by means of a semiregular bipartite involution set or, equivalently, a 1-factorization (i.e., a parallelism) of a bipartite graph, with at least one transitive vertex. In these correspondences, Bol loops are associated on one hand to invariant regular bipartite involution sets and, on the other hand, to trapezium complete bipartite graphs with parallelism; K-loops (or Bruck loops) are further characterized by a sort of local Pascal configuration in the related graph.
