Cubic Vertex-Transitive Graphs Admitting Automorphisms of Large Order

Semiregular Automorphisms of Cubic Vertex Transitive Graphs

It is shown that for a connected cubic graph Γ , a vertex transitive group G ≤ AutΓ contains a large semiregular subgroup. This confirms a conjecture of Cameron and Sheehan (2001).

Semiregular Automorphisms of Cubic Vertex-transitive Graphs

We characterise connected cubic graphs admitting a vertextransitive group of automorphisms with an abelian normal subgroup that is not semiregular. We illustrate the utility of this result by using it to prove that the order of a semiregular subgroup of maximum order in a vertex-transitive group of automorphisms of a connected cubic graph grows with the order of the graph, settling [2, Problem ...

Semiregular automorphisms of vertex-transitive cubic graphs

An old conjecture of Marušič, Jordan and Klin asserts that any finite vertextransitive graph has a non-trivial semiregular automorphism. Marušič and Scapellato proved this for cubic graphs. For these graphs, we make a stronger conjecture, to the effect that there is a semiregular automorphism of order tending to infinity with n. We prove that there is one of order greater than 2.

Cubic Vertex-Transitive Non-Cayley Graphs of Order 8p

A graph is vertex-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on its vertices. A vertex-transitive graph is a Cayley graph if its automorphism group contains a subgroup acting regularly on its vertices. In this paper, the cubic vertextransitive non-Cayley graphs of order 8p are classified for each prime p. It follows from this classification that there are two sporadic and two infini...
