Super-connected arc-transitive digraphs

A digraph is said to be super-connected if every minimum vertex cut is the out-neighbor set or in-neighbor set of a vertex. A digraph is said to be reducible, if there are two vertices with the same out-neighbor set or the same in-neighbor set. In this paper, we prove that a strongly connected arc-transitive oriented graph is either reducible or super-connected. Furthermore, if this digraph is also an Abelian Cayley digraph, then it is super-connected. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
