Abstract

We introduce a web loop (P,\(\mathfrak{L}\), +) which is precisely a loop (P,+) provided with the structure\(\mathfrak{L}\) of a web such that both structures are compatible in the sense that for eachaP the map a+PP;x↦a+x is an automorphism of (P,\(\mathfrak{L}\)). Exploiting the results of [6, 7, 9, Z] for the case of a web, we study web loops, webs with reflection structures and webs with point reflection structures.
