Basarab, A. S.; Kiriyak, L. L. On a certain class of G-loops. (Russian) Zbl 0588.20043 Mat. Issled. 71, 3-6 (1983). A loop \((Q,\cdot)\) is called a \(WIP_ n\)-loop if it satisfies the following identity with respect to an involution I on \(Q: I^ n(x\cdot y)\cdot I^{n+1}x=I^ ny\). The main results of the paper are the following. Proposition 2: If each loop which is isotopic with a \(WIP_ n\)-loop \((Q,\cdot)\) is also a \(WIP_ n\)-loop, then each isotope of \((Q,\cdot)\) is isomorphic to the loop \((Q,\circ)\), where \(x\circ y=R_ d^{-1}(x\cdot R_ dy)\), for some \(d\in Q\). Theorem: Under the same hypotheses for (Q,\(\cdot)\) and the hypothesis that for any \(a\in Q\), \(a^ 2\) belongs to the kernel of the loop \((Q,\cdot)\), this loop is a G- loop.
