All vertex-transitive locally-quasiprimitive graphs

چکیده
The polycirculant conjecture states that every transitive 2-closed permutation group of degree at least two contains a nonidentity semiregular element, that is, a nontrivial permutation whose cycles all have the same length. This would imply that every vertex-transitive digraph with at least two vertices has a nonidentity semiregular automorphism. In this paper we make substantial progress on the polycirculant conjecture by proving that every vertex-transitive, locally-quasiprimitive graph has a nonidentity semiregular automorphism. The main ingredient of the proof is the determination of all biquasiprimitive permutation groups with no nontrivial semiregular elements.

All vertex-transitive locally-quasiprimitive graphs have a semiregular automorphism

متن کاملFinite locally-quasiprimitive graphs
A 1nite graph is said to be locally-quasiprimitive relative to a subgroup G of automorphisms if, for all vertices , the stabiliser in G of is quasiprimitive on the set of vertices adjacent to . (A permutation group is said to be quasiprimitive if all of its non-trivial normal subgroups are transitive.) The graph theoretic condition of local quasiprimitivity is strictly weaker than the condition...
متن کاملBounding the size of a vertex-stabiliser in a finite vertex-transitive graph
In this paper we discuss a method for bounding the size of the stabiliser of a vertex in a G-vertex-transitive graph Γ. In the main result the group G is quasiprimitive or biquasiprimitive on the vertices of Γ, and we obtain a genuine reduction to the case where G is a nonabelian simple group. Using normal quotient techniques developed by the first author, the main theorem applies to general G-...
متن کاملLocally s-distance transitive graphs
We give a unified approach to analysing, for each positive integer s, a class of finite connected graphs that contains all the distance transitive graphs as well as the locally s-arc transitive graphs of diameter at least s. A graph is in the class if it is connected and if, for each vertex v, the subgroup of automorphisms fixing v acts transitively on the set of vertices at distance i from v, ...
متن کاملThe locally 2-arc transitive graphs admitting an almost simple group of Suzuki type
A graph Γ is said to be locally (G, 2)-arc transitive for G a subgroup of Aut(Γ) if, for any vertex α of Γ, G is transitive on the 2-arcs of Γ starting at α. In this talk, we will discuss general results involving locally (G, 2)-arc transitive graphs and recent progress toward the classification of the locally (G, 2)-arc transitive graphs, where Sz(q) ≤ G ≤ Aut(Sz(q)), q = 2 for some k ∈ N.
