We study the relation between distance-regular graphs and (α, β)-geometries in two different ways. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the neighbourhood geometry of a distance-regular graph to be an (α, β)-geometry, and describe some (classes of ) examples. On the other hand, properties of certain regular two-graphs allow us to construct (0, α)-geometries on the corresponding Taylor graphs. (2000): 51E30, 05C12. Mathematics Subject Classification

We introduce distance-regular (0, α)-reguli and show that they give rise to (0, α)-geometries with a distance-regular point graph. This generalises the SPG-reguli of Thas [14] and the strongly regular (α, β)-reguli of Hamilton and Mathon [9], which yield semipartial geometries and strongly regular (α, β)-geometries, respectively. We describe two infinite classes of examples, one of which is a generalisation of the well-known semipartial geometry T * n (B) arising from a Baer subspace PG(n, q) in PG(n, q 2 ).
